Product Information

I bloody love Sparx. If a job was offered to me somewhere else and they didn't have Sparx, I would say I won't even think of moving unless you get Sparx!" The way that candidates access the questions is changing for October 2023. Candidates will see the questions on a computer screen. Candidates will write their responses in a paper answer booklet, which will be scanned by their test centre. MyMaths provides complete curriculum coverage; our Primary school subscription is available for KS1 to KS3, with our Secondary subscription covering KS2 right up to A Level. Perfect for your whole school! Watch as your children develop their skills with these lovely maths mats. Plus, you can be sure that they’re ready for use as soon as you print them off. You could even laminate them too, which means less printing. Great for if you’re on a budget or looking to be more environmentally friendly. Revision Mats for Maths lessons can be a great way to get your children engaged. With tons of activities and revision materials on them, these mats cover all the important topics. Make sure your children are up-to-date on the latest maths knowledge and skills. What resources can I use in my lessons?

This is part of our commitment to looking beyond purely academic achievements and considering your performance in context. Once again, we apologise for all the disruption. We are doing all we can to make sure all candidates have an opportunity to display their full potential, and no one is disadvantaged. The Mathematical Institute is marking the MAT test as normal. The majority of candidates experienced no disruption – we do not want to disadvantage those candidates. College tutors (who are responsible for shortlisting) will have access to a candidate’s UCAS form, the results of the MAT test taken on 19 October, and the results of the additional test, if taken, as well special consideration forms. Tutors will take all this information into consideration when deciding whether to shortlist a candidate . Oxford Mathematics will liaise closely with colleges to manage the situation. You will be able to select from over 50 specialised modules, many of which are linked to our cutting-edge research and led by pre-eminent experts in their fields. Successful candidates will receive the same offer for any course they apply for within the Department, so you should apply to just one. There is no advantage in applying to multiple courses within Mathematics.Which questions you answer in the test depends on the course you are applying for. Details of precisely which questions you should attempt are given below. (Don't worry, you can also find these details in the instructions throughout the test.)

Candidates should attempt five of the six questions, depending on the degree for which they are applying.There are limited places available on the Year Abroad programme, which means that competition for selection is strong and a placement cannot be guaranteed.

I have loved using Sparx Maths. We used another program before Sparx but it didn’t include as much as Sparx does. I really like that it differentiates and allows students to complete work independently by watching the videos. I would 100% recommend Sparx to other schools."

Want to save more time

The MAT is marked by University of Oxford graduate students. For the multiple-choice questions, there are no marks available for working out. For the long questions, our markers will look carefully at what you've written and give you an appropriate number of marks following an agreed mark scheme. On the 3 November, we will send out invitations for the additional test to all candidates who submitted a special consideration form, or who are identified as having experienced disruption, as well as to test centres where that disruption took place. We recognise that some candidates may not have access to information via schools or centres - we are doing all we can to identify them.

The high level of shared content in the first two years means it is usually possible to transfer betweenany of our maths coursesduring this time (within stated restrictions – which would include having taken the appropriate second year options). The invitation will ask candidates to complete a simple form to register for the optional additional test by noon on Friday 10 November. The test will take place on Tuesday 14 November at 09:00 GMT.

The Math Calculator will evaluate your problem down to a final solution. You can also add, subtraction, multiply, and divide and complete any arithmetic you need. All candidates who applyup to 15 October are required to sit the Mathematics Admissions Test (MAT). The MAT allows us to have a common measure with which to benchmark all our applicants, regardless of which qualifications they are taking as well or those they already have. These foundation-level maths mats are designed to support young learners as they acquire and develop their numeracy skills. These sheets include tools to help with counting, number bonds, simple shapes and maths vocabulary. They are also helpful for students who are learning English as an additional language. How can I support my child's counting skills?
