I am currently a year 5/6 teacher in Devon so I create a great many resources throughout the year - particularly when it comes to that dreaded SAT time of year. Hope you will find many helpful resources here to save you time during the hectic 2 term year that is Year 6!

A full workout on long multiplication - starting with multiplying 3 numbers by a 2-digit number and progressing to 4 digits multiplied by 2-digits.
Exercise provides a 15 question workout that focuses greatly on the 6,7,8 and 9 times tables and tests pupils’ handling of larger numbers from the 20s to the 90s.
Ideal as a maths revision task, holding task or starter/plenary.
Answers are included on pages 3 and 4 for ease of marking.
A set of questions based on number and word problems - includes rounding, reading data, percentages and ratio. This revision exercise is aimed at children working at the expected level
An exercise where children will have to study two sets of temperature data produced in Excel. They will need to interpret this data and answer questions relating to difference, negative numbers in context, more than, less than etc.
A good task to demonstrate current understanding and track progress in data handling. Also a useful exercise in the run-up to the SATs as reading line-graphs and interpreting negative numbers in context is often present.
Practise at reading timetables, calculating time durations and some word problems mixed in at greater depth level. Good resource for around mid-year and good practise for SATs reasoning as the reasoning paper usually incorporates a timetable question.
A differentiated series of 3 worksheets, ranked with 1-3 chilli peppers, containing ratio word problems (8 per sheet).
Children can choose their difficulty or teacher can differentiate. Offers opportunity to move onto a more challenging set of problems if the former turns out to be too easy.
Answer sheet included in folder for ease of marking, as well as the problems being included in word and PDF format.
Three differentiated worksheets incorporating area and perimeter of rectangles (touching a little on compound shapes).

Two star Sheet for middle understanding where larger numbers and long multiplication are required to solve problems.
Three star sheet with more challenging problems that require more than one step and a degree of reasoning and working systematically**
Answers are included for ease of marking.
An A3 workout sheet differentiated for Year 5 and 6.
Recap makes use of bar modelling and wheels for visual representation. Useful for assessment either at beginning, midway or end of sequence.
Visual representation of fractions
Equivalent Fractions
Simplifying Fractions
Improper Fractions
Mixed Fractions
Adding/Subtracting Fractions with same/different denominators
Fractions of amounts
Fractions of shapes
Answers included for ease of marking.
A good assessment tool that covers much of the arithmetic content from the National Curriculum for Year 5. Can also be used to assess entry level at the beginning of Year 6 and together with the Year 6 assessments can be ideal for showing progress throughout the year.
The test is set out in a very similar format to a SAT paper and all answers are included on the same page for ease of marking.
Useful assessment task that can be used in conjunction with the published elicitation task to show progress. Includes simple addition, subtraction, short division and multiplication, decimals, basic algebra and fraction to decimal conversion.
Answers are included for ease of marking.
This is a useful pair of worksheets that can be used for elicitation and the assessment of the four operations, particularly at the beginning of year 6. Used together, they can be utilised to demonstrate progress throughout an arithmetical reasoning sequence and can help identify strengths and weaknesses in these areas of arithmetic.
Includes:
Addition and subtraction of whole and decimal numbers (borrowing, carrying etc inc)
Short Multiplication and division (inc decimal nos)
Conversion of fractions to decimals
Basic algebra to identify missing values inside the four operations.
Answers are included on second page for speedy and easy marking.
A game on Powerpoint where children work in groups of 2-4 and are given a company, along with a balance of half a million.
Serves as good practise for those 2 mark questions in the arithmetic paper, as well as a touch of reasoning.
Children must play four rounds where they will be expected to work together to do the following.
multiply 3 numbers by 2 numbers.
multiply 4 number by 2 numbers.
Divide four numbers by 12.
Divde four numbers by 36.
They may also have to work out differences and subtract from their current balance (depending on their accuracy in the rounds!)
The most accurate group, with the highest balance at the end, wins!
Enjoy
Differentiated into 3 levels of difficulty - addition and subtraction of fractions with different denominators, with mixed fractions included for extra challenge.
Answer sheet is included for ease of marking.
1 chilli = 12 questions using simple fractions with different denominators.
2 chillies = 12 questions using simple and mixed fractions with different denominators.
3 chillies = 12 questions using simple, mixed and addition of 3 fractions with different denominators.
Pack comprises of an 8 slide powerpoint presentation that allows children to discuss and work on several problems in either groups or pairs, using the rule divide, down, denominator (works with my class)
Process used - multiplying the denominator by the whole number.
note - in the SAT arithmetic paper, it is not necessary to simplify an answer but it is encouraged as good practice in the worksheets
Two four question worksheets (differentiated as one and two star). For greater depth, answers are to be simplified and converted into decimal for (up to 3 places).
One arithmetic worksheet.
A series of 3 challenging problems for greater depth/mastery level year 6s.
All problems are multi-step and require mathematical reasoning and knowledge of area finding formulas.
Use of all 4 operations will be required.
Can be done in groups, pairs or individually. A very good task if you have a pupil/pupils racing on ahead in class and require a holding task or greater challenge to keep them motivated.
Answers included on page 2 for ease of marking (includes workings so sight of certain answers can be observed within the steps).
Good reasoning for SAT practice also.
Task that asks pupils to interpret data about the performance of football teams and then place 10 teams into a league table based on the information provided.
They will need to works systematically and use the following maths skills:
ordering
addition
multiplication
subtraction
finding the difference
use negative numbers in context
copy and place data into a table correctly
work logically and systematically
Task can be differentiated by changing expectation of what you wish pupils to do - e.g. you might just ask children to order the teams and simply provide their total points. Greater depths could be asked to fill the whole table with minimal support.
The cover page contains a couple of tips but this is down to the teacher to discretion as to how much support ‘tips’ they wish to provide.
Task comprising of 3 different exercises that require greater depth thinking to tackle multi-step questions. Good for maths reasoning and a challenge that is suitable for both individual or group work.
Work requires knowledge of area (rectangle, triangle and parallelogram), perpendicular height and when to use the four operations to solve different parts of the problem.
9 differentiated problems that have to be solved using inverse operations and basic knowledge of algebra.
Children can complete the tasks in pairs, groups or independently.
There are three 1 star sheets for chn working towards.
There are three 2 star sheets for chn working around EXP level.
There are three 3 star sheets for chn working at GDP and need a greater challenge (the GDP problems bleed more into the four operations as opposed to the other sheets that focus on addition and subtraction).
Answers are included for ease of marking/over shoulder guidance.
Brief worksheet aimed at expected level year 6s. Provides a useful example of multi-step problem solving with money, much like those children can expect to find in a reasoning SAT paper.
