The overall aim is to help pupils to apply in a variety of situations the mathematics they have already learnt.The programme seeks to achieve this by teaching the strategies that will enable pupils to approach a variety of problems in a more logical and systematic way. The more specific aims of the programme are to promote the following:
• willingness to attempt problems and to persevere;
• confidence in one’s ability to solve problems;
• awareness of problem-solving strategies;
• awareness of the value of approaching problems in a systematic manner;
• ability to select appropriate solution strategies;
• ability to apply solution strategies accurately;
• ability to monitor and evaluate one’s thinking whilst solving problems.

The main purpose of this Mathematics Homework is to make your life, as a teacher of Year 6 pupils, as easy as possible. All of the homework activities are based on the renewed Primary Framework for mathematics; however, as they assess specific learning objectives they can be used in conjunction with other planned teaching schemes.
Each homework activity sheet addresses a whole, or part of, a learning objective. The questions are written to test the understanding of your pupils once they have worked on a topic in the lesson. This in turn, will provide you with the information required to assess the pupils’ learning, and will enable you to plan your lessons effectively.
With a full set of answers included you can be confident that your students are getting regular, relevant homework that tests their understanding across the Year 6 objectives and all seven core strands. This easy-to-use CD will reduce the time spent preparing and marking homework enabling you use your time as efficiently as possible.
The Year 6 curriculum is structured into five blocks, reflecting the same structure as the other primary year groups. Each block is made up of three units, and each unit represents two or three weeks of teaching. The blocks are:
• Block A: Counting, partitioning and calculating
• Block B: Securing number facts, understanding shape
• Block C: Handling data and measures
• Block D: Calculating, measuring and understanding shape
• Block E: Securing number facts, relationships and calculating
Our Mathematics Homework Activities provide you with a set of challenging and engaging Maths homework activities for every week of the school year.
Each maths activity addresses a whole or part of a learning objective and all the homework sheets are in Microsoft® Word format.
