What is expected of children during their primary school years in England?
Year 6 ( aged 10/11)
The final blog in our series on expectations, although I will be returning to this theme again and again in the future.
Much of the work carried out in year 5 eg addition and subtraction will need to be reinforced and is not covered in these targets for year 6. Please note that this is only a summary of the key areas of maths to be covered in the year. Some of the work here will be too difficult for many year 6 children: it is very much a set of targets published by the Primary Framework rather than a realistic review of what children can actually achieve. It does give you a good idea of what teachers are hoping to achieve with their children by the end of year 6.
I believe that if a child can successfully meet these challenges then they have a very bright future in maths ahead of them. Continue reading “What is expected? Part 8 Year 6”
These worksheets are from the Using and Applying Maths section of the Primary Framework for Maths. In schools this strand is considered very important as it shows how well children understand the maths that they have learned and how well they can apply it to different situations. Both these worksheets look at subtraction and making up number sentences. Think of subtraction as taking away one number from a larger number and try to encourage writing three short sentences using the numbers provided, but using different ideas from those provided.
