What each level generates

Grade 6 percents of amounts — the exact skill behind each difficulty setting, straight from the generator.

  1. Level 1One step from an anchor
  2. Level 2Percents in steps of five
  3. Level 3Find the whole amount

Grade levels follow the progression common to most English-language curricula — not one specific national curriculum. Every level shows exactly what it generates, so you can check the fit with your own program. See the full scope & sequence →

Each one generates a different kind of question, with its own three levels and answer key.

Frequently asked questions

▸What should Grade 6 mental maths include?

Square numbers, percents of amounts, and multiplication, division and subtraction with larger numbers — plus the ability to chain two of them together. Six sheets cover exactly that ground, each with three levels of its own.

▸How 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.

▸Which 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.

▸Are these sheets suitable as a daily starter?

Yes — 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.
