Additionally, the platform is very accessible, as it is offered completely free of charge, and this will remain the same in the future. This means you can practise Year 6 multiplication whenever it suits you.
Curriculum
In Year 6, children should be able to multiply and divide large numbers and apply the appropriate methods. The skills they need to master include:
- Multiplying four-digit numbers by two-digit numbers using long division.
- Dividing four-digit numbers by two-digit numbers using long division.
- Solving multi-step problems involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, and explaining why they choose a particular method.
At Practise Maths, you can practise these skills, especially multiplying and dividing two-digit numbers. Once you’ve mastered that, you’ll find it easier to solve long division problems. This way, your child will be well-prepared for Year 6 and the corresponding SAT!
