year 6 maths adv

This advanced edition of Understanding Maths Year 6 provides graded exercises that will test student of most ability groups, and in many of the chapters, will extend and challenge more gifted students. The questions are graded into levels of difficulty:

• Easier questions: These Level 1 (and sometimes Level 2) questions are intended to build confidence and follow the format of the examples.
• Average questions: Level 2 & 3 questions are of average difficulty level, and give all students (weak, average & gifted) a good opportunity to practice and consolidate the ideas and rules given throughout most of the chapter. All students should try to complete and understand questions in the first three levels.
• Harder questions: These questions are more difficult as they involve larger numbers, and some of the more difficult ideas in the related topic. Reference pages numbers and not included so that students learn to search through the chapter for the relevant information.
• Problem solving: This more difficult level has been included to challenge those students who are more gifted at Maths. Usually the questions are more sentence and problem oriented, and therefore they involve more reading and comprehension skills. It is unlikely that any of the questions in this level can be done mentally, because several different ideas, rules or steps are usually required.
