1 Select the TWO numbers that have a total of 1000.

250 750 380 450 610

Working: look for a pair that adds to 1000. 250 + 750 = 1000. None of the other numbers pair up to make 1000.

Strand: Number — number bonds to 1000 (0845 P2)
LO: 6Nc4 — use place value and number facts to add or subtract.

2 Write the next two numbers in this sequence.

8, 6.5, 5, 3.5, ,

Working: each term goes down by 1.5.

3.5 − 1.5 = 2.
2 − 1.5 = 0.5.

Strand: Number — sequences with decimals (0845 P2)
LO: 6Nn15 — recognise and extend number sequences.

3 Two angles meet on a straight line. One angle is 110°. Calculate the size of the other angle.

The other angle = degrees

Working: angles on a straight line add up to 180°. 180 − 110 = 70°.

Strand: Geometry — angles on a straight line (0845 P2)
LO: 6Gs6 — calculate angles on a straight line / around a point.

4 Drag each calculation onto its answer.

Drag each item into the correct category. Place all 4 items into the 4 categories below.

1/2 of 96
1/4 of 96
3/4 of 96
1/3 of 96

1/2 of 96

1/3 of 96

1/4 of 96

3/4 of 96

Working: 1/2 of 96 = 48; 1/3 of 96 = 96÷3 = 32; 1/4 of 96 = 96÷4 = 24; 3/4 of 96 = 24×3 = 72.

Strand: Fractions — fractions of an amount (0845 P2)
LO: 6Nc21 — find fractions of quantities.

5 Work out each calculation. Remember the order of operations.

6 + 4 × 5 =

(6 + 4) × 5 =

Working: do brackets and multiplication before addition.

6 + 4 × 5 — multiply first: 4 × 5 = 20, then 6 + 20 → 26.
(6 + 4) × 5 — brackets first: 10 × 5 → 50.

Strand: Calculation — order of operations (0845 P2)
LO: 6Nc22 — apply the arithmetic laws / order of operations.

6 Select ALL the prime numbers in this list.

11 23 29 15 21

Working: a prime number has exactly two factors — 1 and itself. 11, 23 and 29 are prime. 15 = 3×5 and 21 = 3×7, so they are not prime.

Strand: Number — prime numbers (0845 P2)
LO: 6Nn19 — recognise prime numbers.

7 Apples cost $2.40 for 2 kg. What is the cost of 5 kg of apples?

Cost = $

Working: first find the cost of 1 kg: $2.40 ÷ 2 = $1.20. Then 5 kg costs 5 × $1.20 = $6.00.

Strand: Measure — scaling cost / money (0845 P2)
LO: 6Ps7 — solve word problems involving ratio and direct proportion.

8 Work out these percentages.

25 per cent of 60 =

10 per cent of 250 =

Working:

25 per cent of 60 — 25% is one quarter: 60 ÷ 4 → 15.
10 per cent of 250 — 10% is one tenth: 250 ÷ 10 → 25.

Strand: Number — percentages of amounts (0845 P2)
LO: 6Nn29 — find simple percentages of whole numbers.

9 On a grid, point A is at (2, 1). Point B is 4 squares to the right of A and 3 squares up. Write the coordinates of point B.

B is at ( , )

Working: 4 squares right adds 4 to the x-coordinate: 2 + 4 = 6. 3 squares up adds 3 to the y-coordinate: 1 + 3 = 4. So B is (6, 4).

Strand: Geometry — coordinates (0845 P2)
LO: 6Gp1 — read and plot co-ordinates in all four quadrants.

10 A shape has four straight sides, two pairs of parallel sides and four right angles, but its sides are not all equal in length. What is the name of this shape?

Rectangle Square Rhombus Trapezium

Working: four right angles and two pairs of parallel sides means it is a rectangle. (A square would have all four sides equal; a rhombus has no right angles; a trapezium has only one pair of parallel sides.)

Strand: Geometry — properties of quadrilaterals (0845 P2)
LO: 6Gs3 — identify and classify quadrilaterals.

11 A bus leaves at 14:35 and arrives at 15:20. How many minutes does the journey take?

Journey time = minutes

Working: from 14:35 to 15:00 is 25 minutes, then 15:00 to 15:20 is 20 minutes. 25 + 20 = 45 minutes.

Strand: Measure — time intervals / timetables (0845 P2)
LO: 6Mt5 — calculate time intervals using digital and analogue times.

12 Drag the correct sign into each box to make the number sentence true.

3.5 × 4 Drop here 14

0.5 × 100 Drop here 40

250 ÷ 4 Drop here 70

📦Word Bank:

Working: work out each side, then compare.

3.5 × 4 = 14, so use the equals sign.
0.5 × 100 = 50, which is more than 40, so use the greater-than sign.
250 ÷ 4 = 62.5, which is less than 70, so use the less-than sign.

Strand: Calculation — comparing values (0845 P2)
LO: 6Nn12 — use the greater-than, less-than and equals signs correctly.

13 Complete the sentence about a cube.

A cube has edges and vertices.

Working:

A cube has 12 edges (the lines where faces meet).
A cube has 8 vertices (the corners).

Strand: Geometry — properties of 3D shapes (0845 P2)
LO: 6Gs2 — describe the properties of 3D shapes (faces, edges, vertices).

14 Sara has 30 sweets. She gives 2/5 of them to her friend. How many sweets does she give away?

Sweets given away =

Working: first find 1/5 of 30 = 30 ÷ 5 = 6. Then 2/5 = 2 × 6 = 12.

Strand: Fractions — fraction of an amount, word problem (0845 P2)
LO: 6Nc21 — use fractions as operators to find fractions of quantities.

15 Eggs are packed into boxes of 6. A farmer has 200 eggs. How many boxes are needed for ALL the eggs?

Boxes needed =

Working: 200 ÷ 6 = 33 remainder 2. 33 boxes would hold 198 eggs, leaving 2 eggs over, so you need 1 more box. 33 + 1 = 34 boxes.

Strand: Calculation — division with rounding up (0845 P2)
LO: 6Ps6 — solve a word problem needing division and rounding up.

16 Calculate.

3.6 × 100 =

47 ÷ 100 =

Working:

3.6 × 100 — ×100 moves every digit two places left → 360.
47 ÷ 100 — ÷100 moves every digit two places right → 0.47.

Strand: Calculation — multiply/divide by 100 (0845 P2)
LO: 6Nn5 — multiply and divide decimals by 10 or 100.

17 Put these values in order, starting with the smallest.

Drag items to reorder. Arrange the 4 items in the correct sequence.

0.35
60%
1/4
0.5

Working: change them all to decimals: 1/4 = 0.25, 0.35, 0.5, 60% = 0.6. In order: 1/4, 0.35, 0.5, 60%.

Strand: Number — comparing fractions, decimals & percentages (0845 P2)
LO: 6Nn23 — recognise and use the equivalence between decimal, fraction and percentage forms.

18 Tom says, “All multiples of 5 end in the digit 5.” Is Tom correct? Explain your answer.

Marks: 1 points

Working / model answer: No. Multiples of 5 end in either 5 or 0, for example 10, 20 and 30 end in 0. So Tom is not correct.

Strand: Number — multiples / reasoning (0845 P2). Keyword auto-graded, model answer shown.
LO: 6Nn17 — recognise multiples of 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100.

19 A rectangle is 8 cm long and 5 cm wide. What is its area?

Area = cm²

Working: area of a rectangle = length × width = 8 × 5 = 40 cm².

Strand: Measure — area of a rectangle (0845 P2)
LO: 6Ma1 — measure and calculate the area of rectilinear shapes.
