Sophie Bessemer

Inevitably, many of these have been designed originally to be Year 6 SATs revision worksheets for pupils preparing for their end of primary school KS2 SATs but whether they are sitting their SATs or not, they still need to know the content, and you still want them ready for Year 7 maths next year at secondary school.

If you’re a parent looking for more advice, try our  home learning hub full of home learning packs , tips and teaching ideas for Year 6 Maths at Home and maths homework and more about the KS2 SATs which take place in May every year for Year 6.

If you’re a teacher or school leader who is interested in improving maths attainment in your school or classroom, then this whole website is for you. Third Space Learning is dedicated to improving outcomes in maths with our online tutoring programme of maths interventions , together with maths resources and CPD.

A note on the Year 6 maths worksheets provided

All the Third Space Learning Year 6, KS2 maths worksheets and SATs revision worksheets are printable; most are in pdf format, some are designed as slides, but if you don’t want to print for whatever reason all the worksheets can be viewed online too. 

We always include answers in our maths resource packs but for any teachers wanting to delve further into any of these topics take a look at our KS2 Maths teaching guides which cover everything from long division to pie charts. And if you’re after something a bit more lighthearted in the run up to SATs, our collection of maths games , in particular the KS2 maths games are always popular.

How we’ve selected the Year 6 maths worksheets

We are providing here a selection of the pdf Year 6 maths worksheets and, Year 6 maths tests that we believe can be used with minimal support by 10 or 11 year olds as part of their home learning.

The focus here is on retrieval practice . This means working on skills and knowledge a Year 6 should already have been taught (even if they can’t remember it yet!) and supporting them with strategies to approach SATs questions rather than teaching them new content.

Inevitably there’s a focus at this stage on ensuring pupils core number work is really sound, and on the topics that lend themselves well to Year 6 maths worksheets. There’s nothing here for example on identifying shapes or properties of shapes such as parallelograms or quadrilaterals because you can find these easily online already.

Primary National Curriculum guidance and links to other support is given where relevant alongside the maths worksheets.

If this maths page has 5 sections of maths questions  with an average of 7 questions in each section, can you guess how many problems there will be in all? That’s right, there will be a total of 35 year 6 maths questions for us to practise. Without realising it, you just solved one of our first year 6 word problems . Excellent work! Together we will review year 6 maths problems with decimals, fractions, order of operations, and rounding. We will even consider hard maths problems, like multiplying using square models and number lines. Don’t worry about getting the answers right the first time, each section includes answers if you need a sneak peek. So grab a pad and pencil and let’s begin.

Year 6 maths word problems

Let’s begin by covering maths word problems.

Mia’s water bottle can hold 300 millilitres of water. She drinks two and a half water bottles each day. How many total millilitres of water does Mia drink each day? 

The playground is made up of four rectangular lots that are each 10 metres by 7 metres. What is the total area of the playground?

 Josh lives 2.5 kilometres away from the park. Josh rides his bike to the park and back home four days a week. How many kilometres does Josh ride his bike each week?

Since we are solving word problems, a word should always be in our answer.

Numbers & place value

In this section, we will cover maths questions that use place values, word form to standard form, standard form to word form, and expanded form.

Place value

Which digit in the number 245 is in the hundreds place?

Which digit in the number 4,602 is in the tens place?

Which digit in the number 752 is in the ones place?

Word form to standard form

Standard form to expanded form.

4,000 + 300 + 2 = 4,302

600 + 50 + 4 = 654

20,000 + 2,000 + 300 + 60 + 5 = 22,365

In this section, we will cover year six maths questions that include comparing decimals and rounding decimals to the nearest tenth, hundredth, and thousandths place. Let’s get started.

8.9 and 8.900 are the same.

Remember if the number to the right is 5 or larger, you can borrow and become one digit larger. If the number to the right is between 0 and 4, you can’t borrow and the number remains the same.

In this section, we will review maths questionss for year six that cover the topics of adding and subtracting two and three-digit numbers using transformation, division using area models, and the order of operations.

Adding and subtracting whole numbers by transformation

A large portion of year 6 maths problems can be made easier to solve by transformation or changing numbers to make the problem simpler. Let’s practise adding and subtracting two and three-digit numbers by transformation.

How to add numbers using transformation?

When adding or subtracting numbers, look for ways to round to make the problem simpler. Don’t forget what you do to one number, you have to do the opposite to the other. This makes sure the problem stays balanced. Let’s see how this is done. What is 48 + 52? 48 + 2 = 50

52 – 2 = 50 

50 + 50 = 100.

It may be difficult to add 48 + 52 in your head, so we round 48 to 50 by adding 2. Since we added 2 to the first number, we have to make sure to subtract 2 from the second number. So now the problem is 50 plus 50, which is much easier to calculate! 

32 – 2 = 30 68 + 2 = 70 30 + 70 = 100 The answer is 100.

208 – 8 = 200 432 + 8 = 440 200 + 440 = 640 The answer is 640.

321- 1 = 320 199 + 1 = 200 320- 200 = 120 The answer is 120

Division using area models

Don’t know what an area model is? See our area model guide to help with these problems.

Using an area model find the quotient of 365 ፥ 5 =

Using an area model find the quotient of 504 ፥ 6 =

Using the area model below, find the quotient of 872 ፥ 2 =

Order of operations

Many people remember the Order of Operations with the acronym PEMDAS- “Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally”, with each letter representing an operation: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiply or Divide, Add or Subtract. Solve the following equations using the order of operations.

Remember that the steps Multiply or Divide can be done in any order. Also, the steps Add or Subtract can be done in any order, do the operation that comes first.

Some of the hardest maths questions involve multiplying: multiplying using square models, multiplying fractions and whole numbers using expanded form, and multiplying fractions using number lines. Let’s practise a few of each!

Multiplying using square models

Multiplying using square models is a method to help students “see” multiplication problems in a simpler way.

Multiply 42 x 35 using the square model below.

Multiply 55 x 76 using the square model below.

Multiply 98 x 42 using the square model below.

Multiplying fractions and whole numbers using expanded form

Multiply ½ x 5 using expanded form.

Multiply ⅔ x 6 using expanded form.

Multiply ⅙ x 7 using expanded form.

Multiplying fractions using a number line

Word problem answer sheet

Mia drinks 750 millilitres  of water each day.

Explanation: 300 x 2 = 600. 300 / 2 = 150. 600 + 150 = 750.

280 square metres.

Explanation: The area of one lot is 10 x 7 = 70 metres. Take that area and times it by four, so 70 x 4 = 280 metres.

Josh rides 20 kilometres on his bike each week.

Explanation: Each day Josh rides 5 total kilometres: 2.5 kilometres to the park and 2.5 kilometres back home. If we multiply that number by 4 days a week, it equals 20 kilometres in all.

Writing numbers answer sheet

2 is in the hundreds place.

0 is in the tens place.

2 is in the ones place.

Division using area models answer sheet

Multiplying using square models answer sheet

Multiplying fractions and whole numbers using expanded form answer sheet

Multiplying fractions using a number line answer sheet

Explanation – First divide the number line into 6 equal parts and draw up a line up to 4/6. Then find the ½ way mark of that line you drew up to 4/6. You will now see the line is divided into three parts. So the answer would be ⅓.
