Thirty-eight equations in three rounds for Year 6 maths. Pupils solve sixteen one-step equations like a + 7 = 15, sixteen two-step equations such as 5q + 6 = 41, then find three different pairs of positive whole numbers for equations like x + y = 6. A complete answer key covers all three sections. Matched to two England National Curriculum algebra objectives.
Algebra
“Express missing number problems algebraically”
All 38 questions use letter notation rather than empty boxes.
Algebra
“Find pairs of numbers that satisfy an equation with two unknowns”
The challenge round demands three valid pairs per equation.
Sixteen equations across all four operations, including 3c = 21.
Sixteen equations such as 2a + 1 = 11 in a four-column grid.
Six equations like a × b = 12, each needing three different pairs.
Solutions for every equation in all three rounds.
Fluency practice
The graded rounds fill a practice lesson once solving methods are taught.
Timed challenge
The beat-the-clock round works as a race in the last ten minutes.
Homework
One round per night, self-marked against the key.
