Year 6 Christmas maths worksheets
A free 3-page Christmas maths booklet for Year 6, set in an Australian summer Christmas. Division and fraction warm-ups, percentage discounts, multiplying larger numbers, deciding what a remainder means (how many buses or boxes), adding related fractions, a Christmas budget in dollars and cents and 24-hour time. Print it for the class, turn on the answer key for marking, or switch edition for a fresh set with the same skills.
How to use it in class
- The remainder problems make a good discussion: when do you round up, and when do you ignore the leftover?
- Give the budget questions as a timed challenge, then ask students to explain their order of operations.
- It works as a relaxed end-of-primary revision lesson in the last weeks before high school.
Is it right for my class?
Aimed at Year 6 at the end of the year. It revises the core Year 6 number and measurement content rather than introducing anything new.
24 questions over 3 pages. After the warm-up the pages are story problems, so students read more there; read them aloud for early readers.
