Year 6 Maths Tutoring From The Best Tutors In Waverley

At age 11–12, students are building the foundation for high school mathematics. Year 6 Maths introduces essential skills in logical reasoning, algebraic thinking, and data interpretation. These concepts are critical for academic success and everyday decision-making.

Number: Students work with integers, fractions, decimals, and percentages. They compare and order fractions, perform operations with decimals, and solve problems involving percentages and rational numbers, including financial applications. They also explore prime, composite, and square numbers.

Algebra: Students explore patterns, create and interpret algorithms, and solve equations involving multiple operations. They use brackets and apply the order of operations.

Measurement: Students convert between metric units, calculate areas using formulas, and interpret timetables. They use angle properties to determine unknown angles.

Space: Students examine cross-sections of 3D objects, plot coordinates on the Cartesian plane, and use transformations to create tessellations.

Statistics and Probability: Students interpret data sets using digital tools, analyse data distributions, and conduct chance experiments. They assign and estimate probabilities using fractions, decimals, and percentages.

By the end of Year 6, students should confidently use integers, fractions, and decimals in calculations and solve problems involving percentages. They should understand patterns, use formulas for area, interpret data displays, and estimate probabilities. They should also be able to model mathematical problems, justify their reasoning, and communicate solutions clearly.

Tutoring begins by identifying areas where a student needs the most support—be it fractions, angles, or word problems. Lessons are tailored to reinforce key concepts, assist with homework, and prepare for school assessments.
