Maths will consist of nine topics called the programme of study (Set by the government).

These topics are very similar for all the year groups from Years 1 to 6.

Below is a breakdown of the topics Learning 4U tutors will teach taken from the programmes of study for Year 6

pupils.

Number and Place Value

• Reading, writing, ordering and comparing numbers to 10,000,000

• Calculating intervals across zero

Calculating

• Multiplying four-digit numbers by two-digit numbers using long multiplication

• Dividing four-digit numbers by two-digit numbers using long division

• Identifying common factors, common multiples and prime numbers

• Solving multi-step problems involving all four operations

Fractions, Decimals and Percentages

• Simplifying fractions

• Comparing and ordering fractions

• Adding and subtracting fractions with different denominators

• Multiplying pairs of proper fractions, giving the answer in its simplest form

• Dividing proper fractions by whole numbers

• Multiplying and dividing numbers by 10, 100 and 1000

• Multiplying one-digit numbers with up to two decimal places by whole numbers

• Using written division methods in cases where the answer has up to two decimal places

Ratio and proportion

• Finding percentages of amounts

• Solving problems involving shapes and scale factors

Algebra

• Using simple formulae

• Generating and describing linear number sequences

• Express missing number problems algebraically

• Find pairs of numbers that satisfy an equation with two unknowns

Measurement

• Converting between units of measurement, using decimal notation up to three decimal places

• Working out the perimeter and area of shapes (including parallelograms and triangles)

• Working out the volume of cubes and cuboids

Geometry

• Drawing a 2D shape using the given dimensions and angles

• Finding unknown angles in any triangle, quadrilateral and regular polygon

• Illustrating and naming parts of circles, including radius, diameter and circumference

• Recognising angles where they meet at a point, are on a straight line or are vertically opposite

• Plotting coordinates on all four quadrants

• Drawing and translating simple shapes on the coordinate plane and reflecting them in the axes

Statistics

• Interpreting and constructing pie charts and line graphs and using these to solve problems

• Calculating and interpreting the mean as an average

This is an outline of what a year 6 pupil will learn. Each year group will differentiate in topics and focus which we are equipped for.
