Primary Stage 6 Mathematics for Year 6
Calculators
As in Stage 5, it is important that learners become confident users of calculators. They need to
recognise that the calculator is a tool of which they are in control and to understand how it can help
them to develop their mathematics. Learners can be taught how to use a calculator effectively and to
recognise how and when it is appropriate to do so; by first deciding if mental and pencil-and-paper
methods are quicker or more reliable. Note that to use a calculator effectively requires a secure
knowledge of number, which has to be the prime aim.

Numbers and the number system
Count on and back in fractions and decimals, e.g. 1/3s, 0.1s, and repeated steps of whole numbers
(and through zero).
Know what each digit represents in whole numbers up to a million.
Know what each digit represents in one- and two-place decimal numbers.
Multiply and divide any whole number from 1 to 10 000 by 10, 100 or 1000 and explain the effect.
Multiply and divide decimals by 10 or 100 (answers up to two decimal places for division).
Find factors of two-digit numbers.
Find some common multiples, e.g. for 4 and 5.
Round whole numbers to the nearest 10, 100 or 1000.
Round a number with two decimal places to the nearest tenth or to the nearest whole number.
Make and justify estimates and approximations of large numbers.
Order and compare positive numbers to one million, and negative integers to an appropriate level.
Use the >, < and = signs correctly.
Estimate where four-digit numbers lie on an empty 0 –10 000 line.
Order numbers with up to two decimal places (including different numbers of places).
Recognise and extend number sequences.
Recognise and use decimals with up to three places in the context of measurement.
Recognise odd and even numbers and multiples of 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 up to 1000.
Make general statements about sums, differences and multiples of odd and even numbers.
Recognise prime numbers up to 20 and find all prime numbers less than 100.
Recognise the historical origins of our number system and begin to understand how it developed.
Compare fractions with the same denominator and related denominators, e.g. 3/4 with 7/8.
Recognise equivalence between fractions, e.g. between 1/100s, 1/10s and 1/2s.
Recognise and use the equivalence between decimal and fraction forms.
Order mixed numbers and place between whole numbers on a number line.
Change an improper fraction to a mixed number, e.g. 17/8 to 2
.
1/ 8
Reduce fractions to their simplest form, where this is 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 or a number of fifths or tenths.
Begin to convert a vulgar fraction to a decimal fraction using division.
Understand percentage as parts in every 100 and express 1/2, 1/4, 1/3, 1/10, 1/100 as
percentages.
Find simple percentages of shapes and whole numbers.
Solve simple problems involving ratio and direct proportion.
