Recall multiplication facts from 2x2 up to 10x10.
Where your child meets this in real life: Calculating costs for multiple items, area, or grouping problems
Each SEAG paper has 28 maths questions. Questions 29 to 50 are multiple choice with five possible answers, and questions 51 to 56 need a short written answer. With 56 questions in 60 minutes across English and maths, that is about a minute per question.
