Understanding Number Maths Worksheets For Year 6 (age 10-11)
A child who achieves what is expected by the end of Year 6 will have an excellent knowledge of number. Negative numbers will be used in a variety of situations, including co-ordinates. Decimal fractions are extended to thousands and children will be expected to round decimals with up to three decimal places. Terms such as simplifying fractions, cancelling common factors, percentages and ratio will all be used with confidence.
Revise Rounding Whole Numbers
Rounding very large numbers to the nearest ten thousand and rounding populations to the nearest million.
More Revision of Estimating and Approximating
Estimating on a 0 to 10000 number line and making approximate answers to calculations.
Investigate Using Estimation
Mini investigations involving amounts of time, large numbers and, not forgetting, blades of grass!
Negative Numbers Using Co-ordinates (1)
Co-ordinates with negative numbers, including temperature and tide levels.
Negative Numbers Using Co-ordinates (2)
Co-ordinates in four quadrants are an excellent way to demonstrate knowledge of negative numbers.
Negative Numbers and Calculating Errors
Estimating and then measuring to the nearest millimetre requires a great deal of accuracy.
Improper Fractions and Mixed Numbers
Changing mixed numbers to improper fractions and vice versa. Cancelling fractions.
Equivalent Fractions
Lecnac is the opposite to cancel – there’s no other word for it!
More on Equivalent Fractions
More on equivalent fractions and simplifying fractions.
Fractions between Other Fractions
Finding a fraction between two other fractions shows a really good understanding of equivalence.
Order Fractions
Ordering fractions with the help of a blank number line. Again, equivalent fractions need to be understood to successfully complete these pages.
Use Decimal Notation
Working with numbers to three decimal places; recognising tenths, hundredths and thousandths.
Decimal Fractions and Calculators
Using only the multiplication or division calculator keys change one decimal fraction to another.
Order Decimal Fractions
Ordering decimal fractions. Sounds easy, but can be quite tricky.
Round Decimals (1)
Rounding decimals to the nearest whole one, including rounding to kilograms and kilometres.
Round Decimals (2)
Rounding decimals to the nearest tenth, including rounding metres and kilometres.
Rounding Decimals (3)
When rounding to the nearest tenth you need to look at the hundredth digit. Also, word problems which need sensible decisions whether you should round answers up or down to the nearest whole one, or round to two decimal places.
Convert Fractions to Decimals
Using a calculator, changing fractions to decimals, including looking at patterns such as ninths and sevenths.
More on Decimals and Fractions
More on converting fractions and mixed numbers to decimals.
Fractions and Calculators
Using a calculator to decide the size of fractions and some more converting fractions to decimal fractions.
Percentages
Writing percentages as fractions and as decimals, as well as interpreting pie charts.
Problems about Percentages
Finding percentages of numbers and money. Word problems using percentages.
Ratio and Proportion
Word problems and shape patterns involving ratio and proportion.
Order of Operations
Remember, in a number sentence where there are several operations we need to stick to some rules.
Reading and Writing Very Big Numbers
Reading and writing very large numbers: harder than it seems!
