Year 6 - Maths

Date: 27th Jan 2026 @ 1:38pm

This week in Maths, the children have been busy becoming percentage pros! ⭐ They learned how to find percentages of amounts, like working out 10% of 50 by dividing by 10 βž—, and then using this to build up to other percentages. For example, if 10% of 50 = 5, then 20% must be 10! πŸ’‘ They also explored how to work backwards to find the whole when only a percentage is given. For instance, if 25% = 8, they used multiplication to discover that the whole amount must be 32 (because 8 × 4 = 32). πŸ” Using bar models πŸ“Š and number lines helped them visualise their thinking, and they enjoyed solving real‑life puzzles like discounts and sale prices πŸ›’. The class worked brilliantly and showed great perseverance—well done, Year 6! πŸŽ‰
