Year 6

Maths Practice Questions

Introduction for teachers and parents

In this book there are single-page exercises covering most of the mathematics work that children will meet in Year 6.

On each page there are some examples/hints along with a set of questions for children to answer. There is space
for answers to be written in the book.

Each exercise ends with a challenging question for the more able children.

At the end of each page, children are invited to answer a self-assessment question.

Using this book

The exercises in the Maths Practice Questions books are not intended to be used in the initial teaching of new
mathematics topics.

However, they can be used as:

Homework activities - to consolidate work done in class.

End of topic class activities - to give children the opportunity to check their understanding of
a particular topic.

Assessment tasks - allowing teachers to establish whether or not children are secure in their
understanding of a topic.

 Number and Place Value

A Place value
You should know the values of all the digits in any number up to 10 million (10,000,000).

B Rounding numbers
You should be able to round any whole number to the E.g. 2,845,565 rounded to the
nearest 10, 100, 1000, 10,000, 100,000 or million. nearest 1000 is 2,846,000

1 A city has a population of 3,684,266. Can you round this number to:

What answer would have been correct? 4,446,000

(You are only allowed to round to the nearest 10, 100, 1000, 10,000, 100,000 or million.)

Sometimes we need to think about numbers less than zero. This number line may help with some questions.

3 Try these calculations:

2–6= -4 -1 + 4 = 3
6–8= -2 -2 – 3 = -5

 Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and Division

A Mental maths You will need to know your times tables and know how to simplify calculations.

E.g. 31 x 8 = 30 x 8 + 1 x 8 = 240 + 8 = 248

1 Try these calculations in your head:

a) 244 + 143 = 387 b) 728 – 513 = 215

c) 251 + 29 = 280 d) 498 – 19 = 479

2 Now you are warmed up, try these:

a) 28 x 3 = 84 b) 32 x 6 = 192
c) 121 x 4 = 484 d) 48 x 9 = 432
Hint: Start with 48 x 10

3 What about some division?

a) 640 ÷ 8 = 80 b) 490 ÷ 7 = 70
c) 132 ÷ 12 = 11 d) 1320 ÷ 12 = 110

4 Try this:

x2 + 24 ÷8 – 10
20 40 64 8 -2
If that was too easy, try this:

x3 – 21 x4 ÷ 12
19 57 36 144 12

Not
5 If 6372 ÷ 6 = 6000 ÷ 6 + 360 ÷ 6 + 12 ÷ 6 now!

= 1000 + 60 + 2 = 1062

What is 8256 ÷ 8?

8000 ÷ 8 + 240 ÷ 8 + 16 ÷ 8
1000 + 30 + 2
Answer: 1032

I can do mental maths with bigger and bigger numbers. I’m confident I’m nearly there

E Multiples, factors and prime numbers

3, 6, 9, 12, etc. are multiples of 3 The lowest common multiple of 3 and 4 is 12

1, 3 and 9 are factors of 9 2 is a common factor of 4 and 6

2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, etc. are prime numbers.

Their only factors are 1 and themselves.

1 Look at these pairs of numbers. Can you circle the common factors?

(8, 12) 2 3 4 5 6

(36, 24) 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

2 Can you find three common factors of 16 and 8 (not including 1)?

2 4 8

3 Which of these numbers are prime numbers?

3 16 23 27 31 39 43 77 83

4 Now we are going to find some lowest common multiples for the following pairs of numbers.

The lowest common multiple of 6 and 9 is 18

The lowest common multiple of 8 and 6 is 24
The lowest common multiple of 8 and 7 is 56

5 Multiply the lowest common multiple of 4 and 9 by

3 6
OK! x
the biggest common factor of 6 and 18. 6
What is your answer? 36 x 6 = 216 2 13 6

I can find multiples and factors and

I’m confident I’m nearly there
I can recognise prime numbers.

12
F The order of operations
What is 2 + 3 x 6 – 1? Is the answer 29 or 19 or 25 or 17? Answer: 19

Why? Because we always do operations in this order: brackets, ÷ x, + –

1 Try these calculations:

a) 16 ÷ 4 + 2 = 6 b) 18 + 2 x 6 = 30
c) 12 + 8 ÷ 4 = 14 d) 20 ÷ 2 + 3 = 13

2 Now try these!

4+6÷2x3–1= 12 8x2+4÷2+6= 24

3 To make things easier we can use brackets. Operations in brackets must be done first.

Try these (the first one is done for you).

a) 8 x (3 – 2) = 88 b) 11 x (4 + 3) = 77
c) 12 ÷ (2 + 2) = 3 d) 30 ÷ (11 – 5) = 5

4 Can you put the brackets into the calculations to make them correct?

(6 )
+ 3 x 2 = 18 (
2 + 8 x 4 – 1 = 26 )

Bring
5 Can you add brackets to make this true? it on!

(3 ) (
x 8 ÷ 2 + 4 = 4 )

I know what order to do operations in. I’m confident I’m nearly there

13
G Estimating to check answers
It is always best to check your answers. One way you can do this is by estimating.

For example, Jon worked out that 6 x 199 = 1004. We can check this out by working out
6 x 200 which is 1200 and we see that Jon’s calculation must be wrong.

1 Mark these calculations by estimating. The first is done for you.

8 x 99 = 792 or 6 x 51 = 306 or

8 x 100 = 800  6 x 50 = 300 

999 + 399 = 1498 or 69 + 69 + 69 = 227 or

1000 + 400 = 1400  70 + 70 + 70 = 210 

2 Use your mental maths skills to estimate the answers to these calculations ( ≈ means “is approximately
equal to”).

a) 90.1 x 4 ≈ 360 b) 89.9 x 5 ≈ 450

c) 199.85 x 6 ≈ 1200 d) 204.99 + 163.03 ≈ 368

3 Use a calculator for these. Sometimes a calculator gives answers to lots of decimal places.
We have to decide how accurate the answer needs to be.

Example: 2 ÷ 3 = 0.66666666666.
In most cases it would be good enough to write the answer as 0.67.

Try these: 800 cm ÷ 3 = 266.67 cm

122 mm ÷ 5 = 24.4 mm

4 litres ÷ 7 = 571.43 ml Hint: Convert to ml before dividing.

4 Estimate the answer to this calculation.

Give me
89.9 + 2 x 5 – 50.006 = 50 a break!

I can make estimates to check my answers. I’m confident I’m nearly there

1 1
Find 10% of 50: 10% is 10 10
of 50 is: 50 ÷ 10 = 5

 Measurement

A Units of measurement
Jake’s summer holiday lasted for 6 weeks and 3 days. How many days was this in total?

Answer: 6 weeks is 6 x 7 = 42 days. So 6 weeks and 3 days is 45 days.

1 Try these to get started:

There are 1000 ml in a litre

There are 100 cm in a metre and 1000 mm in a metre

There are 1000 g in a kilogram

2 Now try these.

255 g is 0.255 kg 2.4 m is 240 cm

6500 mm is 6.5 m 0.5 litres is 500 ml

C Averages - the ‘mean’
The mean is a type of average. To work out the mean we add up all the numbers
and then divide the total by how many numbers there are.

1 Four friends started collecting World Cup cards. Jon had 12,
Lucy had 8, Ben had 6 and Sara had 14.
12 + 8 + 6 + 14 = 40
How many cards did they have between them?

40
Complete this to work out the mean number of cards.

mean = total number of cards ÷ number of people

= 40 ÷ 4 = 10

 Appendix -
Information for Parents

Maths facts that children are expected to know by the end of Year 6

By the end of Year 6, children are expected to know the facts in this section. Parents can help by regularly
asking questions to test their children's ability to recall these facts.

A little and often is often the best approach.

A The times tables up to 12 x 12

Year 6 provides a good opportunity for children to consolidate their multiplication and associated
division facts.

They should also try to increase their speed of recall.

B Common factors

Children should be able to find the factors of two numbers and say which factors the numbers
have in common.

Example: 24 has factors 1 2 3 4 6 8 12 24

32 has factors 1 2 4 8 16 32

So the common factors of 24 and 32 are 1 2 4 and 8.

C Decimals, fractions and percentages

By the end of Year 6 children should know these facts and be able to recall them instantly.

1 1 1 2 1
= 0.5 = 0.1 = = 0.2 100
= 0.01
2 10 5 10

1 2 2 4 21
4
= 0.25 10
= 0.2 5
= 10
= 0.4 100
= 0.21
3 3 3 6 99
4
= 0.75 10
= 0.3 5
= 10
= 0.6 100
= 0.99
4 8
etc. 5
= 10
= 0.8 etc.

1% = 1
= 0.01 Try to use the following vocabulary:
100

10 How many tenths is 0.8?

10% = 100
= 0.1
25 1 How many hundredths is 0.12?
25% = 100
= 0.25 = 4

50 1
Write 0.75 as a fraction.
50% = 100
= 0.5 = 2
What is 75% as a fraction / as a decimal?
75 3
75% = 100
= 0.75 = 4 1
Change 4
to a decimal.

D Prime numbers and composite numbers

Children should know the prime numbers up to 50 which are:

2 3 5 7 11 13 17 19 23 29 31 37 41 43 47
and know that a prime number has no factors apart from 1 and itself.

They should also know that numbers that are not prime numbers are composite numbers.

A composite number does have other factors apart from 1 and itself.
