Frequently asked questions
βΈWhat should Grade 6 mental maths include?
Square numbers, percents of amounts, and multiplication, division and subtraction with larger numbers β plus the ability to chain two of them together. Six sheets cover exactly that ground, each with three levels of its own.
βΈHow do you work out a percentage of a number mentally?
Start from 10% by dividing by ten, then build: double it for 20%, halve it for 5%, add the pieces for 35% or 75%. Every amount on these sheets is chosen so the answer lands on a whole number.
βΈWhich square numbers should a Grade 6 student know?
The squares to 15 by heart is a common target, with 16 to 20 close behind. Level 1 of the Squares sheet generates squares from 2 to 24 and level 2 goes from 25 to 45, so you can push recall well past the times tables.
βΈAre these sheets suitable as a daily starter?
Yes β that is what a high question count and a shuffle button are for. Print thirty questions for a five-minute starter, press Shuffle for tomorrow's set at the same skill and level, and print the answer key for instant marking.
