New Framework Maths:Word Problems Year 6

Product Information

When children are taught maths division, they usually use the context of problem-solving by answering a number of word problems. Having only introduced bar modelling to Year 6 recently I wanted to find a way to make their new-found skills useful in their approach to answering the kind of year 6 word problems that appear in the SATs. A great way to test children on their division knowledge is to use this set of differentiated worksheets which feature different long division word problems. While these problem-solving year 6 maths worksheets are great for classroom use during key stage 2 maths lessons, they are also ideal for home learning, so go for it!

These problem-solving year 6 maths worksheets will challenge and engage your pupils to enhance their learning. Some word problems may seem too complex or confusing at first glance. They may have too much information, too many steps, or too many operations. In such cases, breaking down the problem into smaller and simpler parts is helpful. Here are some tips on how to do that: Everything in there is teacher-made and ready to roll. Because we know less time planning means more time teaching.

Breaking down Year 6 multi-step word problems with structured bar modellingArea. Each table in a classroom is 110cm long and 55cm wide. What is the area of each table in square centimetres and square metres? Tables: These are grids that show data in rows and columns. For example, you can use a table to show how to find equivalent ratios or fractions. These outlines can be made even more explicit. Taking the above example, part 1 could say: divide the cost of the bag of lemons by the number of lemons to find out how much each lemon costs. Conceptualised bar modelling for KS2 SATs
