Autumn 2 Week 5 Maths in Minutes

An image of the Autumn 2 Week 5 Maths in Minutes Resource


This Year 6 Maths in Minutes resource is designed to promote quick recall and retrieval of children's knowledge and prior learning, recapping a number of objectives from Years 5 and 6 such as the order of operations, using 1 cm cubes to calculate a cuboid's volume and converting units of time.

There are three sets of five questions that cover a variety of maths skills in the areas of number, calculation, measure, geometry, statistics, fractions and position & direction. This activity is perfect to use during registration, at the start of a maths lesson or whenever you have some time to spare. We've specially designed this resource to be displayed on the interactive whiteboard to save on printing costs. Try it today!


Curriculum Objectives

  • Solve problems involving converting between units of time
  • Understand and use approximate equivalences between metric units and common imperial units such as inches, pounds and pints
  • Estimate volume [for example, using 1 cm3 blocks to build cuboids (including cubes)] and capacity [for example, using water]
  • Use the properties of rectangles to deduce related facts and find missing lengths and angles
  • Identify 3-D shapes, including cubes and other cuboids, from 2-D representations
  • Identify, describe and represent the position of a shape following a reflection or translation, using the appropriate language, and know that the shape has not changed
  • Complete, read and interpret information in tables, including timetables
  • Solve comparison, sum and difference problems using information presented in a line graph
  • Determine the value of each digit in numbers up to 10 000 000
  • Use negative numbers in context, and calculate intervals across zero
  • Divide numbers up to 4 digits by a two-digit whole number using the formal written method of long division, and interpret remainders as whole number remainders, fractions, or by rounding, as appropriate for the context
  • Use their knowledge of the order of operations to carry out calculations involving the four operations
  • Add and subtract fractions with different denominators and mixed numbers, using the concept of equivalent fractions
  • Multiply simple pairs of proper fractions, writing the answer in its simplest form [for example, 1/4 × 1/2 = 1/8]
