The Big Times Table Challenge 6 is an engaging mathematical exercise aimed at Year 6 students to test their proficiency in multiplication, division, and square and cube numbers. The challenge consists of a series of 100 questions that cover a variety of arithmetic operations including squaring numbers (e.g., 15²), finding square roots (e.g., √9), cube numbers (e.g., 10³), as well as basic multiplication (e.g., 1 x 7), division (e.g., 45 ÷ 9), and a combination of these operations. The goal for the students is to complete all the questions accurately within a five-minute time frame, although they may finish in less time.

Each question requires the student to apply their knowledge of times tables and their understanding of the properties of numbers. For instance, they must know that the square of a number is that number multiplied by itself, while the square root is the number that, when multiplied by itself, gives the original number. The challenge is designed to improve speed and accuracy in mental arithmetic, and it is a comprehensive way to assess a student's numerical fluency. The worksheet provides space for students to record the time taken if they complete the challenge in under five minutes, and at the end, they can tally their score out of 100 to measure their success. This challenge is a fun and competitive way for students to demonstrate their mathematical skills and to identify areas for improvement.
