From March, a daily problem will be released by the White Rose Maths Hub in the lead up to the SATs. This can be found here: http://whiterosemathshub.co.uk/problemoftheday/  

Lastly, maths salamanders has several Year 6 sheets (which can be printed or just viewed online) with a variety of different questions covering a mixture of topics. There is a separate sheet with the answers. This is excellent for testing you child’s ability to switch between topics.
