Before you start your work, I would like you to click on the link to Y6 video page. You will see a video called 12-2-21 Arithmetic. I have talked through each question to remind you how to do them. Please watch it as it will help you.

Do your working out and answers in your Maths Book and then get someone to mark it for you or mark it yourself. BLOG me your score out of 30 please.

Please don’t open the answers until you have done the work it won’t help you. Once you have marked your work go back and try to correct the ones you got wrong, just like we would in school.

Please send me a picture of your working out instead of typing the answers into the BLOG. I want to see your working out.
