Mathematics – What We’re Learning This Term

As mathematicians, we are building confidence and mastery in key mathematical concepts through Power Maths Year 6 – Book B. This term is all about deepening understanding, solving problems, and applying maths to real-life situations.

What We’ll Cover

Children will explore a range of topics designed to challenge and inspire:

  • Fractions, Decimals & Percentages
    Pupils will learn how these three concepts link together, converting between them and applying their knowledge to solve real-world problems like discounts and proportions.

  • Ratio and Proportion
    We’ll investigate how quantities relate to each other, using ratio to compare and scale recipes, maps, and everyday scenarios.

  • Algebra
    Children will take their first steps into algebra, learning how to use letters to represent numbers, form expressions, and solve simple equations.

  • Measurement & Geometry
    Pupils will calculate area, perimeter, and volume, and explore properties of shapes, including angles and symmetry.

  • Statistics
    We’ll interpret and present data using graphs and charts, developing skills to analyse information critically.

Why This Matters

Maths is more than numbers—it’s about problem-solving, logical thinking, and resilience. These skills help children succeed in school and beyond.

How You Can Support at Home

  • Encourage your child to explain their reasoning when solving problems.
  • Use everyday opportunities—cooking, shopping, travel—to talk about fractions, measures, and percentages.
  • Play maths games or puzzles together to make learning fun.
