Multiplication and Division - Multiply and Divide by 6 - Worksheet

The "Multiply and Divide by 6" worksheet is an educational resource aimed at helping Year 6 students master their multiplication and division facts for the 6 times table, in line with the National Curriculum objective of recalling facts up to 12 × 12. The worksheet includes a variety of exercises designed to enhance fluency and precision in mathematical calculations. Students are encouraged to utilize concrete and pictorial representations to understand and solve problems involving equal groups. Key vocabulary such as 'multiplication', 'division', and 'equal groups' is emphasized, and children are prompted to form number sentences and visual representations to demonstrate their understanding.

Differentiated sheets and teaching slides are provided as resources to cater to varying levels of student ability, from those working towards expectations to those working at greater depth. The exercises challenge students to compare and contrast the 3 and 6 times tables, and to practice common multiples such as 2, 3, 5, and 10. Advanced activities require students to work with times tables beyond the basic facts, using mental strategies like partitioning to solve more complex problems. For example, breaking down 46 x 6 into '40 x 6' and '6 x 6', and then combining the totals. Division problems outside the times tables are also tackled, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between multiplication and division when working with the number 6.
