What Year 6 maths covers
Year 6 finishes the written methods. Long multiplication — up to four digits times a two-digit number — and long division by a two-digit number are the year's new work, and between them they take more than half of the sheet above, because they are where the marks go. Column addition and subtraction are here at five digits to keep the sheet mixed rather than because Year 6 introduces them, and equivalent fractions cover expressing fractions in the same denomination. Every sheet is A4, print-ready, and comes with an answer key.
Answers included — a separate marking page with every sheet.
Year 6 topics
Drill one skill at a time:
Long multiplication →
Four-digit numbers times a two-digit number, by the formal written method.
Long division →
Four-digit numbers divided by a two-digit number, with a remainder to interpret.
Questions parents ask
What maths does a child learn in Year 6?
Year 6 is where the written methods are finished. Children learn long multiplication — a number of up to four digits times a two-digit number — and long division by a two-digit number, interpreting the remainder as a whole number, a fraction, or by rounding, depending on the question. They also work with common factors and multiples, simplify fractions, express fractions in the same denomination, and use the order of operations. It ends with the KS2 SATs in May.
Why do the two long methods dominate the sheet?
Because they are the only things on it that Year 6 alone teaches. Column addition and subtraction were secure by the end of Year 5, and the times tables by the end of Year 4; both appear here to keep the sheet mixed. Long multiplication and long division are new, they are the methods the SATs arithmetic paper leans on, and they are where marks are lost — usually to a forgotten zero placeholder in long multiplication, and to the remainder in long division. So they take more than half the questions.
Are the answers included?
Yes. Keep 'Answers' ticked and a separate answer-key page is made with every sheet, so marking takes seconds. Every answer is computed exactly and checked.
Do I need to sign up?
No. Set the sheet up, make it, then print it or download the PDF. There is no login, ever.
