Calculating with length
Ready for some calculations with length? Rulers at the ready...
Reading scales and solving problems
A KS2 numeracy worksheet created by an educator to help your child practise reading scales and solving problems.
Calculating perimeters
A Year 5 and 6 printable worksheet created by an experienced teacher to help your child practise calculating perimeters.
To find the perimeter of a shape you must add up the lengths of each of the sides. Can your child calculate the perimeters of these common shapes?

Calculating volume
Volume is the amount of 3D space that an object occupies. Volume can be measured in cubes. Calculate the number of cubes in each shape to work out the volume.
Estimate volume
Look at these containers. Which do you think has the greatest volume? (Think about their real-life size by considering what is inside.) Put them in order from smallest to largest volume. Estimate the volume in cm3, then calculate the volume to see how accurate you were.
Multiplying and dividing decimals
When you want to multiply a decimal by a one-digit or two-digit number, you can use the long multiplication method. It is very important to remember to line up your numbers correctly
or your decimal point will end up in the wrong place! Practise these sums using this method.

Time intervals puzzle
Agent Chronos has accepted a new mission: the delivery of a top-secret dossier to a contact in Miami, Florida. The night before his flight to the USA, Agent Chronos sets the alarm on his phone and goes to bed... but he’s forgotten to charge his phone and oversleeps. Will he make it onto the flight?
Volume of cubes and cuboids
The volume of a cube / cuboid = length x height x width. Look at the following shape pairs and estimate which has the bigger volume. Work out the volume with the formula; were you right?
Using brackets in calculations
If a number sentence has brackets in it, you need to do the operation in brackets first. Work out the following, remembering to do the operations in brackets first (some of these have negative answers!).
Turning fractions into decimals
A Year 6 Maths worksheet created by a teacher to help your child understand and practise how to convert fractions into decimals.
Rounding to find approximate answers
When you have carried out a long calculation it is a good idea to check your result by finding an approximate answer in your head. Work out the answers to these questions using whatever method you feel comfortable with. Then check your answer by rounding the numbers up or down then finding an approximate answer in your head.
Reducing ratios to their lowest terms
To reduce a ratio to its simplest form, you need to find a factor that you could divide both numbers by. Simplify these ratios by dividing both numbers by the same factor.
Reading and writing larger numbers
This table shows the place value of each of the digits of the large number above. Can you say the number above? Can you write it in words? Look at these numbers and put
the commas in where you think they should go. Say them out loud and then write them in words.

Properties of prisms: parallel planes
A prism is a 3D shape with two identical ends and all flat sides. Its cross section is the same all along its length and always the same shape as its ends. The shape of the prism’s ends gives the prism its name (for example, the ends of a hexagonal prism are hexagons). Prisms have parallel planes, which means that they have faces that are parallel to each other (they always stay the same distance apart and will never meet).
Probability word problems
Can you answer these tricky probability word problems? Pencil at the ready...
Perimeter and area compared
The perimeter is the distance all the way around the outside of a 2D shape. Area is the amount of space a surface takes up. We measure area in square units. Can you answer these questions (it may help you to draw these shapes on centimetre-squared paper)?
Parts of a circle
Here is a picture of a circle. Its centre is marked with a red dot. Can you measure the circle’s radius, diameter and circumference?
Multiplying using long multiplication
A quick way to multiply a three-digit number by a two-digit number is by using the long multiplication method. Here are some for you to try (there are some multiplications with four-digit numbers in here, but don’t worry, the method is still the same!). Use the boxes to help you set out your numbers correctly!
Multiplying fractions
When multiplying two fractions together, you quite simply multiply the numerators and then multiply the denominators. Work out the answers to these number sentences by multiplying both the numerators together and both the denominators together. Shade the diagram to show that you have found a fraction of a fraction.
Linear number sequences explained
A tricky worksheet on number sequences and writing formulas for the nth term.
Introduction to algebra
Use this teacher-created, Year 6 resource to help your child understand what algebra is and practise solving algebra questions.
Fractions, percentages and ratio problems

Formulas for calculating area and volume of shapes
The quickest way to find the area of a 2D shape is to use a formula. Can you use the right formula to find the areas of these shapes? With 3D shapes we can also find the volume, which
means the quantity of space taken up by the shape. Can you use the right formula to find the volumes of these cuboids?

Explaining probability
Probability is when we make judgements on whether something is likely to happen or not. Probability can be described in words, or more accurately in terms of fractions and percentages. Where would you put these statements on the probability line?
