Free, curriculum-aligned Year 6 maths practice — integers, order of operations, ratio and early algebra — with a fresh weekly challenge and step-by-step lessons. Ideal selective-test groundwork.
The core of the Australian Curriculum for Year 6 — all practised free on KAOO.
Understanding and ordering negative numbers on the number line.
Applying brackets and operation order (BODMAS) reliably.
All four operations with fractions and decimals, fluently.
Percentages of quantities, and an introduction to ratio and rate.
Number patterns, rules and simple algebraic thinking.
The Cartesian plane, area and volume, and interpreting data.
Year 6 pulls everything together — negative numbers, order of operations and early algebra are the direct on-ramp to Year 7. Solid, confident practice here is the difference between a smooth transition and a shaky start to high school.
Year 6 is when NSW students sit the selective high school placement test for Year 7 entry, alongside many private-school scholarship exams. Its maths component tests reasoning and speed, not just knowledge. KAOO’s timed Weekly Maths Challenge builds exactly that — free, every week. Check test dates in the exam directory.
