Maths Assessment

Year 6: Term 1ent

1 recognise situations, including financial contexts, that use integers; locate and represent
integers on a number line and as coordinates on the Cartesian plane (AC9M6N01)

2 identify and describe the properties of prime, composite and square numbers and use
these properties to solve problems and simplify calculations (AC9M6N02)

3 apply knowledge of equivalence to compare, order and represent common fractions

including halves, thirds and quarters on the same number line and justify their order
(AC9M6N03)

4 solve problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions using knowledge of

equivalent fractions (AC9M6N05)

5 find unknown values in numerical equations involving brackets and combinations of

arithmetic operations, using the properties of numbers and operations (AC9M6A02)

6 convert between common metric units of length, mass and capacity; choose and use
decimal representations of metric measurements relevant to the context of a problem
(AC9M6M01)

7 interpret and use timetables and itineraries to plan activities and determine the
duration of events and journeys (AC9M6M03)

8 locate points in the 4 quadrants of a Cartesian plane; describe changes to the

coordinates when a point is moved to a different position in the plane (AC9M6SP02)

9 recognise and use combinations of transformations to create tessellations and other

geometric patterns, using dynamic geometric software where appropriate (AC9M6SP03)

10 interpret and compare data sets for ordinal and nominal categorical, discrete and
continuous numerical variables using comparative displays or visualisations and digital
tools; compare distributions in terms of mode, range and shape (AC9M6ST01)

11 identify statistically informed arguments presented in traditional and digital media;

discuss and critique methods, data representations and conclusions (AC9M6ST02)
