About the White Rose Maths Year 6 Scheme of Learning

The primary school White Rose Maths scheme of learning has gone through several iterations and versions up to the current version 3. The scheme of learning SOL is designed as guidance and it is not necessarily intended for each small step to take one lesson. As with all teaching, it is important that teachers adapt this SOL for their class/ pupils. 

Topics covered in Year 6 White Rose Maths scheme of learning work

The White Rose Maths Year 6 SOL outlines which topics are taught, and when, throughout the autumn, spring and summer terms of Year 6. 

The breakdown for Version 3 of the scheme of learning is as follows 

  • Place value
  • Addition, subtraction, multiplication and division
  • Fractions A
  • Fractions B
  • Converting units of measurement
  • Fractions, decimals and percentages
  • Area, perimeter and volume
  • Position and direction
  • Themed projects, consolidation and problem solving

Pre and Post Diagnostic Questions 

These tests can be used before starting the place value block to assess gaps, and after teaching the place value block to identify progress. 

Diagnostic Assessments Year 6

Worked Examples

Pupils check over completed questions to identify errors (or identify correct answers). Pupils are encouraged to explain the errors they find, not just ‘mark’ work. These worked examples help to solidify understanding by getting the pupil to discuss errors and how to avoid them. 

Year 6 Worked Examples

Rapid Reasoning 

These reasoning problems go alongside our Fluent in Five resource. One question each week has a model answer so teachers can understand what the question is asking and how to solve it.

Addition, subtraction , multiplication and division Year 6

Addition, subtraction, multiplication and division is the largest block of Year 6. Unlike the other year groups, the four operations are all covered in one block, rather than being separated into two separate blocks. By this stage, pupils are expected to be confident using formal written methods for addition and subtraction. Focus is on securing confidence with long multiplication and division, and applying this knowledge to solving more complex multi-step problems. Learners also build on their understanding of factors, multiples, prime, square and cube numbers.

32.74 ÷ 1000 =0.0327

In this block, pupils build upon the concepts learnt in Year 5; exploring and using equivalence between fractions, decimals and percentages. At this stage, students are also introduced to the concept of calculating a percentage of an amount. Initially pupils are introduced to  one-step problems, such as finding 10% of an amount. They then progress to solving multi-step problems, such as calculating 37% of an amount.

decimals question

Example year 6 fractions, decimals and percentages questions

1. Write \frac{7}{25} as a decimal and a percentage

Answer: \frac{28}{100} = 0.28 = 28%

\frac{3}{4} ________ 70%

\frac{6}{20} ______  60%

\frac{4}{10}   < 45%

\frac{3}{4}   > 70%

\frac{6}{20} <  60%

In Year 6, pupils explore how to calculate the area of different shapes; including triangles and parallelograms. They also build on their knowledge of volume from Year 5; calculating, estimating and comparing volume of cubes and cuboids, using standard units, including cubic centimetres and cubic metres.

Year 6 Version 3.0 White Rose Maths Resources

Year 6 version 2.0 white rose maths resources, using white rose maths to help children master maths.

The White Rose Maths mastery approach has seen tremendous success in schools all over the UK, helping children learn with a can-do attitude and embrace maths challenges with a smile. Lessons and resources influenced by White Rose focus on three concepts that help children work towards mastery.

Problem Solving

Through problem-solving lessons and activities, children are encouraged to use their mathematical skills and understanding to solve problems unfamiliar to them.

Maths reasoning tasks get children thinking about number problems logically so they can reach conclusions, find solutions and decide which methods to use and why.

Fluency tasks help children strengthen their foundational knowledge. They practise applying their skills and understanding to different number problems with varying contexts and levels of complexity, while independently choosing the method they use to tackle number problems successfully. Fluency brings together problem-solving and reasoning.

Discover Resources That Follow the White Rose Maths Small Steps to Progression

Maths mastery is a journey and to help youngsters on their way, so White Rose Maths has created “Small Steps to Progression”. These small steps break down which learning objectives children need to master, and in what order, to gain a deep understanding of maths topics, and gradually develop their reasoning and problem-solving skills.

There are small steps for each year group, sorted into blocks of weeks. For example, block one for Year 1 covers what children should learn between weeks one to three of the Autumn term. By following these steps, you can make sure children gain all of the foundational skills and knowledge they need to progress onto more complex and challenging lessons.

To help you work through the small steps with your class or with your child, we offer weekly resources that align with them. When you browse our maths resources by year group, you’ll find weekly packs of worksheets, teaching slides and lesson plans. These packs make it easy for you to follow the White Rose steps, save time on lesson planning and find resources that perfectly match your lessons and where children are in terms of progress.

Why Use Our White Rose Style Resources?

Designed with Mastery in Mind — We offer a huge range of primary maths resources that combine fluency, reasoning and problem-solving activities to help children on their journey to maths mastery.

Follow Clear Learning Objectives  — Each one of our resources is designed to help children meet learning objectives that align with the White Rose Small Steps. You’ll have peace of mind knowing our resources suit your lessons perfectly and will help children build on their maths skills and understanding.

Assess Children’s Progress — We offer assessments and mini-assessments to help you check children have a firm understanding of the steps you’ve already covered. This way, you can make sure your class is ready to move on to more advance lessons.

white rose reasoning and problem solving

Fun and Engaging Resources  — Fun is at the heart of our White Rose style resources. Our learning materials engage children in maths and get them excited about learning with fun visual imagery, creative contexts and imaginative maths problems.

Explore Topics in Depth with Differentiated Resources  — Our resources are differentiated by complexity so children can explore topics in-depth and improve their fluency.

So we offer hundreds of free resources you can download instantly with a free membership. Or if you’d rather have unlimited access to all of our resources, you can sign up for a premium membership.

The Benefits of White Rose Maths for Schools: Transforming Lessons with a Mastery Approach

Help all children master maths at a similar pace.

White Rose inspired lessons meet the needs of all children and focus on helping them keep up, not catch up. The small steps for progression make sure all pupils master the same learning objectives and progress at a similar pace. No children should fall behind, and none should speed through content ahead of their classmates. Instead, children of all levels of attainment get the support they need to grasp topics and explore concepts in depth. Only once the whole class has a good understanding of one learning objective do teachers move onto more advanced lessons.

Build Children’s Confidence and Competence in Maths

Every teacher wants to see their class excel in all subjects and White Rose Maths resources and frameworks can help whole classes work towards maths mastery. A big part of the mastery approach is teaching children to adopt a growth mindset. Maths lessons should show pupils that anyone can become a master of maths if they put in the effort and get the support they need to succeed.

When children stop believing that they can’t do maths and adopt a more positive, proactive attitude to this subject, that’s when they can reach their full mathematical potential. They’re likely to feel more confident and engaged in lessons, and the more they embrace maths challenges, the easier it will be for them to develop skills and understanding.

Streamline Lesson Preparation

White Rose Maths takes a weight off your shoulders when it comes to lesson planning. With Schemes of Learning, yearly frameworks and detailed small steps to progression, you won’t have to worry about planning what to cover in lessons each day, week, month and term.

The clear learning objectives outlined in the small steps to progression also make it easy for you to find resources to complement lessons and help children progress.

Enhance Your Maths Lessons with White Rose Maths Resources

Explore our primary maths resources by year group and discover a wide range of resources that support White Rose learning and the small steps to progression. Enhance your lessons, make learning fun and teach for mastery with maths worksheets, teaching slides, lesson plans, reasoning booklets and more.

White Rose Maths for Parents: Get Children Engaged in Learning at Home

The White Rose approach isn’t just for teachers to use in the classroom. You can also use  White Rose Maths in your home learning  to help your little one improve their confidence in mathematics. Practice makes perfect, and if your children are learning at home as well as at school, they’ll have a chance to delve deep into maths topics and develop a firmer understanding of the lessons covered in school. This knowledge and understanding can pave the way for more advanced maths.

White Rose Maths also makes it easier for you to support your child with their home learning tasks. As a busy parent, you don’t want to spend time trying to figure out exactly what children are learning at school, and you don’t have the time to learn topics for yourself so you can guide your child through it. You can use the White Rose Maths  small steps  as a schedule for your home learning sessions and you can find endless White Rose resources right here on the Master the Curriculum website. As homework will often be fluency or consolidation tasks, you won’t have to guide your child through number problems.
