Instructions:
Each week, you will have two sessions on mymaths, 2 fluency or problem-solving tasks and one y6 arithmetic paper which should be straightforward but will keep your brains going. Please do not print out the sheets – just write your answers into your red homework book or any paper you can find at home. You should find the answers attached so that you can self-mark.
MONDAY - mymaths – reverse percentages and percentage change
TUESDAY - reverse percentage word problems – remember the bar model!!
