Category: Free Year 6 Maths Worksheets

Two similar maths worksheets here which demonstrate a number of techniques that can be used to answer SAT questions.

The first question asks for two numbers which add up to 140 from the selection given. The easiest approach to this is firstly to look at the units and find two which add up to 10, such as 28 and 32. Then to look to see if the tens digits are suitable; in this case they are not.

Try again 99 and 91 – this time too big.

Try 74 and 66.

6 and 4 make 10. 70 and 60 make 130. Add 10 to 130 makes 140 – there is your answer!

For question 3 the order is important. Start with an edge of the triangle which already has two numbers in.

I will be concentrating on these maths worksheets for the next couple of weeks. For many children just a few extra marks can raise their level from a 3 to a 4 or a 4 to a 5. I’m not sure what it all means in the wider world but it is certainly good for children’s self confidence if they can get that higher level. The worksheet below is further practice at logical thinking.

Booster maths worksheet 12

This is further practice on the same types of question as on Booster worksheet 9.

A typical question found in the SATs might be, “If I square a number the answer is 64. What is the number?”

This involves both reading and understanding of the question as well as confirming that the squares of numbers to 10 need to be learnt.

Booster maths worksheet 10

Another Key Stage 2 Booster maths worksheet. Some questions in the tests can be quite wordy and there are a couple of examples on this worksheet. Once again it can be seen that the testers like to set questions which challenge children’s understanding of the relationship between multiplication and division ie to find the answer to “If I divide a number by 7 the answer is 5” all that needs to be done is to multiply 7 by 5.

Booster maths worksheet 9

The last in this particular sequence of type of question, once again concentrating on place value and the knowledge that addition and subtraction are inverse.

For example, question 3 asks: ? + 25 = 42.

This can be worked out by subtracting 25 from 42, or by counting on from 25 to 42.

Excellent practice for the key Stage 2 tests!

Booster maths worksheet 8

Place value is an important concept to understand if success is to be achieved in the key Stage 2 tests and the tests are full of questions related to place value.

The first two questions on this page are typical examples – easy enough if you know what you are doing – care must be taken to include each digit just once.

Booster maths worksheet 7

Another page of typical Key Stage 2 maths test arithmetic questions. Plenty of practice with these will make the actual test much easier. Once again expect some questions to have a range of possible correct answers, whilst others have just one correct answer.

Booster maths worksheet p6

Another page of typical SAT maths questions. Again questions 1 and 2 could have any number of possible answers and the key is to keep it simple. In both questions there is no need to be clever: answer with whole hundreds eg 200+ 200+ 400 as this will gain as many marks as 145 + 93 + 562 or any other correct answer and there is far more chance of making a slip up by making it difficult!

Booster maths worksheet 5

A similar maths worksheet to worksheet 3. Notice that questions 5 and 6 could have a considerable range of answers, all of which are correct. In question 6 the two numbers for the answer must have a difference of 61 ie the sum of the two numbers given. This is getting very close to the early algebra which children will study at their secondary schools.
