New Curriculum 2014 Y6 maths to practise at home
These are some of the end of year expectations for the New 2014 Curriculum.
Please practise the relevant skills at home with your child.
Don’t forget to check that they can do all of the skills from the previous years.
By the end of year 6, pupils should be able to:
- read, write, order and compare numbers up to 10 000 000 and determine the value of each digit
What is the value of 5 in 9, 563, 217?
-
recall multiplication and division facts for multiplication tables up to 12 × 12 LEARN
-
recognise and use square numbers and cube numbers, and the notation for squared (2) and cubed
(3)
a square number is the product of a number multiplied by itself e.g. 16 is a square number as it is
the product of 4 x 4 or 42
a cube number is the product of a number multiplied by itself twice more
e.g. 64 is a cube number as it is the product of 4 x 4 x 4 or 43
Examples of using squared and cubed numbers in maths 4 x 35 = 2 x 2 x 35;
3 x 270 = 3 x 3 x 9 x 10 = 92 x 10
4 x 160 = 4 x 4 x 4 x 10 = 43 x 10
-
identify common factors, common multiples and prime numbers
a common factor is whole number that divides two (or more) other numbers exactly e.g. 4 is a
common factor of 8, 12 and 20
a common multiple is a multiple that is shared by two or more numbers.
e.g. 12 is a multiple of 2 and 6 because 12 = 2 x 6
12 is a multiple of 3 and 4 because 12 = 3 x 4
So 12 is a common multiple of 2, 3, 4, and 6
a prime number is a number that only has two factors; it can only be divided by itself and one.
Examples of prime numbers 5, 7, 11, 13
5 is a prime number because 5 = 1 x 5 5 ÷ 1 = 5

recall and use equivalences between simple fractions, decimals and percentages
e.g. 21 = 50% = 0.25,
1
=
4
25% = 0.25,
1
5
= 20% = 0.2,
e.g.100% represents a whole quantity and 1% is
1
100
2
5
= 40% = 0.4 ,
, 50% is
50
100
4
5
= 80% = 0.8
, 25% is
25
100
