Message to teachers
Maths Plus Assessment Book Year 6 is an easy-to-use book for both students and teachers. It provides students and teachers with an assessment book that should easily fit into the whole-school maths assessment policy of most schools.
The book is designed to diagnostically assess students at Year 6 level. Each assessment page is a snapshot of work that addresses the specific outcomes from the NESA Syllabus. The book provides students with a variety of opportunities to demonstrate their skills, knowledge and understanding of key concepts in Number, Algebra, Measurement, Space, Statistics and Probability. The pages in this book can assist with:
• assessing understanding of specific knowledge required by the NESA Syllabus
• diagnosing students’ knowledge to assist with future scaffolding of work
• providing evidence for A–E reporting
• providing meaningful work samples of students’ work and understanding. Supported by discussion, observation, hands-on experiences and teachers’ own observations, these assessment pages can become a useful component in assisting teachers to accurately assess their students.
Answers for the assessment tasks and a Student Book–Assessment Book correlation chart can be found online on the Maths Plus Teacher Dashboard.

Hints for finding percentages
* 10% is equal to 1 10 , so to find 10% divide by 10
* 50% is equal to 1 2 , so to find 50% divide by 2
* 25% is equal to 1 4 , so to find 25% divide by 4 or halve and halve again
* 75% is equal to 3 4 , so to find 75% find 1 4 and multiply it by 3.
