Hamilton’s problem-solving investigations are 'low floor, high ceiling' activities that give all children opportunities to develop mastery and mathematical meta-skills. Explore a set for a whole year group.

Extra Support worksheets come with guidance for a teacher or TA working with small groups. They can make a significant difference to children working below ARE. Extra support is linked to individual objectives-based units, but you can also explore a set for a whole year.

Procedural fluency is fundamental to numeracy, and Hamilton's practice worksheets are carefully differentiated for children working toward Age Related Expectations (ARE), at ARE and at greater depth. Practice is linked to individual objectives-based units, but you can also explore sets of worksheets for the whole year.

short multiplication problem solving year 6

  • Decimals – for example, 98 ÷ 4 = 24.5
  • By rounding – for example, 98 ÷ 4 = 24.5, which rounds up to 25.

Your child will be expected to interpret remainders depending on the context of the question. For example:

‘Buses can carry 30 people. There are 113 students going on the trip. How many buses will they need?’   This question is essentially asking  113 ÷ 30 = 3.77 . But because the students can’t take 0.77 of a bus to school, it is appropriate to round up to 4. The students will need 4 buses .

Perform mental calculations, including with mixed operations and large numbers

Identify common factors, common multiples, and prime numbers.

Your child will be expected to recognise common factors , common multiples, and prime numbers and use this knowledge to solve problems. For example, they could use their understanding of common factors to find equivalent fractions:

They could work out that    =   because 3 is a factor of both 12 and 15.

Solve problems involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division

Understand and use the order of operations.

The order of operations (sometimes called BODMAS), refers to the order operations within a calculation should be completed to get the right answer. Watch this video for an explanation:

Your child should be able to solve calculations using the order of operations, including calculations that use brackets. They should know how brackets change what the calculation means. For example:

2 + 1 × 3 = 5 (2 + 1) × 3 = 9

Use rounding to check answers and make estimates

They should be able to round answers to a specified degree of accuracy, for example, to the nearest 10, 20, 50, and so on.

Solve multi-step problems in contexts

The multi-step word problem could involve any combination of up to three operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division). Your child should have a range of methods to solve these problems.

How to help at home

There are lots of ways you can help your child to understand addition and subtraction. Here are just a few ideas to support your child’s learning:

1. Play the 1 to 21 game

You can help your child practise all four operations at home by playing the 1 to 21 game.

Ask them to roll a dice five times and record each number shown on the dice on a piece of paper. For example, 1, 4, 3, 5, 3. They then need to find a way to reach an answer of 1 using any operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and/or division) on the numbers.

Your child can only use each number once and they have to use at least two numbers in each calculation. For example, we could get the answer of 1 by calculating 3 ÷ 3, 5 – 4, 4 – 3, and so on. Then ask your child to find a calculation with the answer of 2 using any operation, then an answer of 3 and so on until they reach 21.

You could make this game even more challenging by saying that they have to use at least three, four, or even all five numbers to make it really tricky! Print out our activity sheet to have a go:

Activity: One to twenty-one

short multiplication problem solving year 6

Find ways to make all the numbers 1 to 21.

2. Play Four 4s

Play the game Four 4s to practise multiplying, dividing, adding, and taking away.

The aim is to make all the numbers from 1 to 20 using just the number 4 four times. Use a combination of operations (multiplying, dividing, adding, and taking away) to make calculations where the answers are the numbers 1 to 20.

You must use all four 4s, but you can put two together to make 44 as well as using operations.

1 = (4 ÷ 4) ÷ (4 ÷ 4) 2 = (4 × 4) ÷ (4 + 4) … and so on.

3. Try lots of different methods

Encourage your child to use their knowledge of different calculation strategies to solve problems.

For example, when solving word problems, ask your child what exactly the problem is asking them to do. Which operations will they need? Does the problem involve equal sharing, or multiplication as scaling? Sometimes it can be useful to transform word problems into mathematical symbols to make it very clear what you need to do.

Encourage your child to estimate their answer by rounding before they solve questions with a formal method. This will help them check that their answer makes sense when they come to work it out properly.

Once your child has completed a question using their preferred method, see how many different ways they can find to solve the problem. They might find it useful to explain these methods to you with drawings or symbols. Talk about which method seems the most efficient or easiest for this particular problem. You may want to challenge them to make up their own similar problem to practise some more.

4. Explore factors, multiples, primes, and composite numbers

You can help your child identify factors and factor pairs using their knowledge of times tables.

You can play a factor and multiple game with your child. Ask your child to choose an even number on a 100 square and cross it out. You then cross out a number that is either a factor or a multiple of that number. For example:

Start at 20. A factor of 20 is 4. A multiple of 4 is 40. A multiple of 40 is 80. … and so on. The game gets harder and harder as it goes on and more numbers are crossed out!

Continue to take it in turns to choose a number that is a multiple or a factor of the number that has just been crossed out by the other player. When a player cannot cross out any numbers, that player loses the game.

Your child will also need to explain why a number is prime or composite . Prime numbers are numbers that only have factors of 1 and itself. They can only be divided by 1 or themselves to get a whole number. 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, and 13 are all prime numbers. Composite numbers are numbers with more than two factors. 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, and 12 are all composite numbers.

Have more prime numbers or more composite numbers been crossed out in your game? Talk to your child about it. If you want to play another prime number game (or print out a number square), download the activity below:

Activity: Prime number lotto

short multiplication problem solving year 6

Find out about prime numbers.

5. Explore square and cube numbers

Your child will need to use and understand square and cube numbers.

A square number is created by multiplying an integer (whole number) by itself. For example:

9 is a square number because it can be made by multiplying 3 by 3. 25 is a square number because it can be made by multiplying 5 by 5. 144 is a square number because it can be made by multiplying 12 by 12.

A square number can also be represented in the shape of a square. A square with 3cm by 3cm sides has an area of 9cm ². Ask your child to find some objects that are all the same size, and arrange them into a square. Notice how this makes a square number.

Cube numbers are formed by multiplying an integer (whole number) by itself three times. For example:

8 is a cube number because it can be made by multiplying 2 by 2 by 2. 27 is a cube number because it can be made by multiplying 3 by 3 by 3. 125 is a cube number because it can be made by multiplying 5 by 5 by 5.

A cube number can also be represented in the shape of a cube. You could ask your child to make a cube with building blocks or Lego. If they use blocks with sides of equal length (for example, 1cm by 1cm by 1cm), then any bigger cube they build will need to use a cube number of those blocks.
