Year 6 - Find Someone Who | Back to School Maths Review

The visible directions frame the work as a review of prior Year 5 skills for students entering Year 6. During each exchange, classmates switch papers, solve a mixed mathematics prompt, compare reasoning, and initial after agreement. Two activity sheets draw across prior-year number, operation, fraction, measurement, and problem-solving skills rather than one narrow strand. The circulation routine doubles as informal prerequisite evidence, and the completed pages support whole-class review afterward.

About this resource

Year 6 - Find Someone Who | Back to School Maths Review This back to school maths review allows Year 6 students to refresh their maths skills from the previous year while getting to know new classmates. Students are given a worksheet with 16 mixed maths questions spanning skills learned in Year 5. They must find a classmate who can solve each problem, check the work, and have the classmate initial to show they solved it correctly. With two versions included, students will sharpen skills like comparing fractions and decimals, finding area and perimeter, interpreting graphs, and more. This resource provides an engaging way for Year 6 students to review essential maths concepts individually or in small groups at the start of the school year. Answer keys are provided to check work. Use it for morning work, centres, or a back to school maths activity.
