Year 6 Maths Term 2

1. Subtraction
Subtraction is taking one number away from another. For example, if you have 10 apples
and you give away 3, you have 10 - 3 = 7 apples left.

2. Addition
Addition is putting numbers together to find a total. If you have 4 oranges and 3 more, you
can add them together: 4 + 3 = 7 oranges.

3. Division
Division is splitting a number into equal parts. If you have 12 cookies and want to share
them with 3 friends, you would divide: 12 ÷ 3 = 4 cookies each.

4. Multiplying
Multiplication is adding a number to itself a certain number of times. For example, 5 times 3
(5 x 3) means you add 5 three times: 5 + 5 + 5 = 15.

5. Multiplying Decimals
Multiplying decimals is similar to multiplying whole numbers, but you must pay attention to
the decimal point. For instance, 3.2 x 2 = 6.4.

6. Inverse Operations
Inverse operations are pairs of operations that undo each other. For example, addition and
subtraction are inverse operations. If you add 5 and then subtract 5, you get back to the
original number.

7. Percentages
A percentage shows a part of a whole. If you have 100, and 25 are blue, then 25% are blue
because 25 out of 100 = 25%.

8. Adding and Subtracting Decimals


When adding or subtracting decimals, line up the decimal points. For example:
2.5 + 3.6 = 6.1.
9. Multiplying Fractions
To multiply fractions, multiply the top (numerator) and the bottom (denominator) across.
For example:
1/2 x 1/3 = (1 x 1) / (2 x 3) = 1/6.

10. BODMAS
BODMAS helps you remember the order of operations:
 Brackets
 Orders (like squares)
 Division
 Multiplication
 Addition
 Subtraction
A good example is: 2 + 3 x 4 = 2 + (3 x 4) = 14.

11. Square
A square number is a number multiplied by itself. For instance, 3 squared (3²) is 3 x 3 = 9.

12. Adding Fractions


To add fractions, make sure the bottom numbers (denominators) are the same. For
example:
1/4 + 1/4 = 2/4 = 1/2 (after simplifying).

13. Dividing Fractions


To divide fractions, multiply by the reciprocal. For example, to divide 1/2 by 1/3, you
multiply 1/2 by 3/1 = 3/2.

14. Long Division


Long division is a way of dividing numbers by breaking it down step by step. For example, for
154 ÷ 7, you would find how many times 7 fits into 154.

15. Ordering Numbers


Ordering numbers means putting them in sequence from smallest to largest or vice versa.
For example: 3, 5, 1, 4 arranged in order becomes 1, 3, 4, 5.
16. Subtraction Word Problems
These involve real-life situations where you need to subtract. For example, "There were 10
ducks, and 4 flew away. How many are left?" Answer: 10 - 4 = 6.

17. Multiplying by 10, 100, 1000


To multiply by 10, 100, or 1000, just move the decimal point. For example, 5.2 x 10 = 52; 5.2
x 100 = 520; 5.2 x 1000 = 5200.

18. Area and Perimeter


 Area is the space inside a shape. For rectangles, Area = Length x Width.
 Perimeter is the distance around a shape. For rectangles, Perimeter = 2 x (Length +
Width).

19. Converting Units – mm – cm – m - km


This involves changing one measurement unit to another. For example:
 10 mm = 1 cm
 100 cm = 1 m
 1000 m = 1 km

20. Ratio
A ratio compares two quantities. For example, if there are 3 apples and 2 oranges, the ratio
is 3:2.

21. Rounding
Rounding is simplifying a number to its nearest value. For example, 46 rounded to the
nearest ten is 50.

22. Algebra
Algebra uses letters to represent numbers. For example, in the equation x + 3 = 5, you can
find what x equals (in this case, x = 2).

23. Percentages, Fractions, Decimals


These three represent numbers in different ways. Knowing how to convert between them is
important. For example:
 50% = 1/2 = 0.5
24. Pie Charts
A pie chart shows parts of a whole using slices. You can create one using data and colour the
sections to show different percentages.

25. Equivalent Fractions


Equivalent fractions are different fractions that represent the same part of a whole. For
example, 1/2 is equivalent to 2/4.

26. Mean (Average) of Numbers


To find the mean, add all the numbers together and divide by how many there are. For
example: To find the mean of 2, 4, and 6, you would do: (2 + 4 + 6) ÷ 3 = 12 ÷ 3 = 4.

27. Multi-step Problems


These problems require more than one step to solve. For example: "If you bought 5 apples
at 50p each and a banana for 30p, how much did you spend altogether?"

28. Greater than / Less than


These symbols show relationships between numbers. For example, 8 > 5 (8 is greater than 5)
and 3 < 4 (3 is less than 4).

By practising these concepts, you'll build a strong foundation in Mathematics. Remember to


ask questions and have fun with numbers!
