YEAR 6

What will my child be doing in Year 6?

 

At the age of 10 and 11 your child will be in Year 6.

 

Year 6  is the final of 4 years where your child will be working at Key Stage 2. At the end of Key Stage 2 your child should have reached a particular level of skills, knowledge and understanding.

 

Schools use targets to check each child’s progress so they can adapt their teaching to best serve the child.

 

Some children will not progress as quickly as others or have special educational needs. Parents and carers have a key role in the educational development of their child. It is important to communicate with your child’s teacher, take an interest in what your child is learning at school and praise your child when they have done well.

 

YEAR 6 NUMERACY TARGETS

 

By the end of Year 6, most children should be able to…

 

· Know all tables to 10 x 10, especially for division, eg 63 divided by 7 = 9, and quickly work out remainders.

· Multiply and divide decimal by 10 or 100 in their heads in their heads, eg 2.61 x 10, 53.2 divided by 100.

· Put numbers, including decimals, in order of size, eg 1.06, 0.099, 0.25, 1.67.

· Use pencil and paper to add and subtract decimals, eg 3.91 + 8.04 + 24.56, or 13.3 – 1.27.

· Use pencil and paper to multiply and divide, eg 387 x 46, 21.5 x 7, 539 divided by 13, 307.6 divided by 4.

· Cancel fractions eg reduce 4/20 to 1/5, and work out which of two fractions is bigger, eg 7/12 or 2/3.

· Work out simple percentages of whole numbers, eg 25% of £90 is £22.50.

· Estimate angles and use a protractor to measure them.

· Work out the perimeter and area of simple shapes that can be split into rectangles eg

· Solve word problems and explain their methods.

· Use co-ordinates to plot the position of points.

· Understand and use information in graphs, charts and tables.
