Year 6 Maths
Autumn
This term the children cover place value, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division before half term and fractions, decimals and percentages after half term. We also look at statistics and circles. Children have frequent opportunities to embed their mental arithmetic skills, including times table practice. Children will learn methods through fluency practice and all children of all abilities will have the opportunity for problem solving and reasoning.
Spring
This term the children will learn about ratio, algebra, shape, measures, area, perimeter and volume and position and direction. Frequent opportunities for mental arithmetic is included in the teaching sequence as well as opportunities to revisit prior learning. Fluency, problem solving and reasoning approaches will continue to be offered. Children will also begin to revise ahead of their SATs tests.
Summer
The children will sit their SATs test which will consist of mental arithmetic and reasoning papers. Prior to the tests, children will have time to recap and revise their learning in small groups, with the focus dependant on what each group needs to revise. After SATs, maths lessons will focus on project work and investigations, where children can apply their learning from Key Stage 2.
