Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and Division - Assessment (1)

The Year 6 mathematics assessment on the four operations challenges students to demonstrate their proficiency in addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division through a variety of questions. The assessment includes tasks such as filling in missing digits, completing addition pyramids, and solving word problems that require a good understanding of the four operations. For instance, students are tasked with calculating the sum of 3,180 and 856, the result of subtracting 4,658 from 10,000, dividing 312 by 4, and multiplying 2,438 by 6. Each of these questions is designed to test the students' arithmetic skills and their ability to perform calculations accurately.

Additionally, the assessment incorporates real-life scenarios, such as determining the value difference between two houses, where Tia's house is valued at £846,000 and Malachi's house is worth £387,000 less. Students must use their subtraction skills to complete the bar model representing this information. Another question involves reasoning with weights, where students find the weight of one bag given the total weight of seven boxes and eight bags. The assessment also includes a self-evaluation section where students rate their confidence with the four operations. Further challenges include a problem involving the redistribution of pens between two boxes to achieve an equal amount and a division problem where students must identify an error in a calculation with remainders. The assessment concludes with questions on packing pencils into packs of 32 and finding the number of full packs and remaining pencils, testing both division and multiplication skills, as well as the ability to work with remainders.
