Welcome to the Mary Webb Year 6 Transition Numeracy Project!

The aim of this booklet is to give you some practice of some of the Maths
Skills you have used at Primary School as well as an introduction to some
of the Maths you will be looking at when you get to Secondary School in
September.

The booklet contains a mixture of different tasks, some you will find
really straight forward, and be able to do without any help, and some will
make you think – you might need to ask for a bit of help from a friend,
teacher or someone at home.

Have a go at as many of the tasks in the booklet as you possibly can and
bring it with you in September to show your new teachers at Mary Webb
all the good Maths you can do!

Good luck!
KEYWORDS

booklet. If you find any other words you are not sure about, look them up
in your dictionary and add them to the list.

Multiply up to 20 x 20 in your head.

Take two 2 digit numbers: e.g. 15 x 13

Take the first number and add the units digit of the second number. 15 + 3 = 18

Multiply this by 10 18 x 10 = 180

Multiply the units digits of both numbers and add to your last answer. 5 x 3 = 15

180 + 15 = 195
Use the method shown to quickly multiply these numbers.
Therefore 15 x 13 = 195
12 × 16 13 × 19 Trying it again
(12 + 6) × 10 = 180 (13 + 9) × 10 = 220
14 x 18
2 × 6 = 12 3 × 9 = 27
14 + 8 = 22
180 + 12 = 192 220 + 27 = 247

17 × 18 14 × 11
4 x 8 = 32
(17 + 8) × 10 = 250 (14 + 1) × 10 = 150
220 + 32 = 252
7 × 8 = 56 4×1=4
250 + 56 = 306 150 + 4 = 154 Therefore 14 x 18 = 252

3n - 2 13 28 43 58 73 88 103 118 133 148

Square each number and then add the number to that square.
n 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

n² + n 2 6 12 20 30 42 56 72 90 110

Square each number and multiply it by 3.

n 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

3n² 3 12 27 48 75 108 147 192 243 300

Remember total of a 6 number Fibonacci = 5th number × 4.

Multiply by 4 is double and double again
