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 Year 6 such as rounding a 7-digit number, calculating the area of a triangle and enumerating possibilities, as well as a key Year 5 objective about calculating the perimeter of rectilinear shapes.
There are three sets of six questions that cover a variety of maths skills in the areas of number, algebra, calculation, measure, geometry, statistics and ratio. 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
- Measure and calculate the perimeter of composite rectilinear shapes in centimetres and metres
- Read, write, order and compare numbers up to 10 000 000
- Round any whole number to a required degree of accuracy
- Solve addition and subtraction multi-step problems in contexts, deciding which operations and methods to use and why
- Divide numbers up to 4 digits by a two-digit number using the formal written method of short division where appropriate, interpreting remainders according to the context
- Use their knowledge of the order of operations to carry out calculations involving the four operations
- Identify the value of each digit in numbers given to three decimal places and multiply and divide numbers by 10, 100 and 1,000 giving answers up to three decimal places
- Solve problems involving the calculation of percentages [for example, of measures, and such as 15% of 360] and the use of percentages for comparison
- Solve problems involving similar shapes where the scale factor is known or can be found
- Generate and describe linear number sequences
- Enumerate possibilities of combinations of two variables
- Convert between miles and kilometres
- Calculate the area of parallelograms and triangles
- Compare and classify geometric shapes based on their properties and sizes
- Find unknown angles in any triangles, quadrilaterals, and regular polygons
- Describe positions on the full coordinate grid (all four quadrants)
- Interpret and construct pie charts and line graphs and use these to solve problems
