Use our Year 6 Mental Calculations and Estimation Prior Learning worksheet to get your class practising their estimating and approximating skills before moving onto the new learning in this lesson. This worksheet includes questions based on an objective from year 5 that can be used as a stepping stone to the year 6 objectives covered in mental calculations and estimation. We've included varied fluency, reasoning and problem-solving skills together in this ready-to-use worksheet.

An ideal resource to use at the start of your lesson to check what children already know and help address any misconceptions early on. Alternatively, this can be used in an intervention programme to offer additional support if needed. Marking is made easy with the handy answer page too.
