What’s included in the Year 6 Calculating Scale Factors Homework resource and why is it useful?

Year 6 Calculating Scale Factors Homework is a set of worksheets to consolidate this step after it has been taught, at home or in class. Each set has been carefully designed to help you meet each child where they are at to ensure progress for every child, not just the average child. The content includes 3 levelled worksheets and a full answer sheet, covering calculating scale factors to enlarge shapes and models, finding missing lengths and dimensions.

Developing

• Q1 circling the scale factor used to enlarge a shape. Involving whole number scale factors and measurements only.
• Q2 using knowledge of scale factors to calculate missing numbers. Involving whole number scale factors and measurements only.
• Q3 calculating the height and length after scaling a model. Involving whole number scale factors and measurements only.

Expected

• Q4 circling the scale factor used to enlarge a shape. Involving whole numbers in measurements but some scale factors can increase by a half.
• Q5 using knowledge of scale factors to calculate missing numbers. Involving whole numbers in measurements but some scale factors can increase by a half.
• Q6 calculating the height, length and width after scaling a model. Involving whole numbers in measurements but some scale factors can increase by a half.

Greater Depth

• Q7 circling the scale factor used to enlarge a shape. Involving some decimals in measurements and some scale factors that increase by a half.
• Q8 using knowledge of scale factors to calculate missing numbers. Involving some decimals in measurements and some scale factors that increase by a half.
• Q9 calculating the height, length and width after scaling a model. Involving some decimals in measurements and some scale factors as fractions.

How do our maths homework resources work?

Our maths homework resources are not part of our adaptive maths resources, but they can be used alongside for consolidation purposes and to give children more opportunities to practise.
