The sequence is 2, 4, 6, 8, ... What is the next number?
12
9
10
8
Each term increases by 2, so the term after 8 is 8 + 2 = 10. The next number in the pattern is 10.
Calculate 3 + 5 * 2.
20
16
10
13
According to order of operations, multiply first: 5 * 2 = 10, then add 3 gives 13. The result is 13.
What is 15% of 200?
25
20
30
35
10% of 200 is 20 and 5% is 10, so 15% of 200 is 20 + 10 = 30. The answer is 30.
Find the perimeter of a rectangle with length 5 units and width 3 units.
15 units
8 units
10 units
16 units
Perimeter = 2 Ã - (length + width) = 2 Ã - (5 + 3) = 16 units. Thus the perimeter is 16 units.
Simplify 3/4 - 1/8.
3/8
1/8
5/8
1/2
Convert 3/4 to 6/8, then subtract 1/8 to get 5/8. The simplified result is 5/8.
What is the mean of the data set [2, 3, 5, 7, 5]?
4.8
4.4
5
4
The sum of the numbers is 22 and there are 5 values, so the mean is 22 ÷ 5 = 4.4. The average is 4.4.
Calculate the area of a triangle with base 10 units and height 6 units.
16 square units
60 square units
36 square units
30 square units
Area = 1/2 à - base à - height = 1/2 à - 10 à - 6 = 30. The area is 30 square units.

Each term is double the previous one: 16 Ã - 2 = 32. The next term is 32.
Evaluate (7 + 3) * 2^2.
32
20
50
40
Compute 2^2 = 4 and (7+3) = 10, then multiply: 10 Ã - 4 = 40. The value is 40.
Simplify the fraction (2/3) ÷ (4/9).
8/27
9/8
2/3
3/2
Dividing by a fraction means multiply by its reciprocal: (2/3) Ã - (9/4) = 18/12 = 3/2. The result is 3/2.
Find the median of the values [3, 8, 7, 5, 9, 2, 4].
4
6
5
7
Sorted the data to [2,3,4,5,7,8,9], the middle (4th) value is 5. Thus the median is 5.
Estimate 48 Ã - 26 by rounding to the nearest tens.
1200
1000
1250
1500
Round 48 to 50 and 26 to 25, then multiply: 50 Ã - 25 = 1250. This gives a close estimate of the product.
Express the area of a semicircle with radius 7 in terms of π.
14Ï€
7Ï€
49Ï€/2
49Ï€
The full circle area is πr² = 49π; a semicircle is half of that, or 49π/2. The expression is 49π/2.
If 5² = 25, what is 6²?
11
30
36
42
Squaring 6 gives 6 à - 6 = 36. Therefore, 6² = 36.
Solve for x: x/4 + 2/3 = 5/6.
3/4
2/3
1/2
2/5
Subtract 2/3 from 5/6 to get x/4 = 1/6, then multiply both sides by 4: x = 4 Ã - (1/6) = 2/3.
What is the volume of a cylinder with radius 3 units and height 5 units?
15Ï€
54Ï€
45Ï€
30Ï€
Volume = πr²h = π à - 3² à - 5 = π à - 9 à - 5 = 45π. Thus the volume is 45π cubic units.
What is the mode of the data set [3, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 3]?
7
3
4
5
The mode is the most frequent value. Since 3 appears three times, it is the mode of the data set.
What is the 8th term of the Fibonacci sequence 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, ...?
55
34
21
13
Each term is the sum of the two previous terms. The 7th term is 13, so the 8th term is 13 + 8 = 21.
Evaluate the expression 2^3 * (3 + 1) - (5 * 2).
14
22
32
18
Compute 2^3 = 8 and (3+1) = 4, so 8 * 4 = 32, then subtract 5*2 = 10 to get 22. The result is 22.

Cheat Sheet

  1. Master the order of operations (PEMDAS) - Get ready to conquer those tricky calculations by following the magic acronym: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication & Division (left to right), Addition & Subtraction (left to right). It's like following a treasure map - skip a step and you might end up with the wrong "X"! Practice with varied expressions to build confidence and speed. SBAC Sample Questions: Grade 6 Math
  2. Simplify algebraic expressions - Combining like terms and wielding the distributive property is your secret weapon for sleek, simplified answers. Think of it as tidying up a messy room: distribute any negative signs, group your "cousins" (like terms), and voilà, your expression sparkles! Regular practice helps these rules become second nature. Free Mathematics Past Questions and Answers For Primary 6
  3. Calculate triangle area - Triangles might look simple, but their area formula packs a punch: Area = ½ × base × height. Picture slicing a rectangle in half - boom, there's your triangle area! Memorize the formula, plug in your numbers, and watch geometry become a breeze. Mathematics Examination Questions Primary 6 Mathematics
  4. Find the LCM and HCF - Two friends who play together: Least Common Multiple (LCM) finds the smallest number both can land on, while Highest Common Factor (HCF) picks their biggest shared friend. These concepts make fraction work and ratio problems feel like a fun game of matching! Tackle several pairs of numbers to master the drill. Mathematics Examination Questions Primary 6 Mathematics
  5. Analyze data with mean, median & mode - Turn raw numbers into meaningful insights by calculating the average (mean), the middle value (median), and the most frequent number (mode). It's like being a data detective - spot trends, outliers, and patterns hidden in the chaos! Use real-life examples like test scores or sports stats to keep it exciting. GMAS Sample Questions: Grade 6 Math
  6. Boost mental math & estimation skills - Ditch the calculator and train your brain to estimate like a pro: round numbers, break them into friendlier chunks, then adjust your answer. Need 45% of 280? Grab 50% (140) and subtract 5% (14) to land on 126 - fast and fun! Regular mental workouts sharpen your number sense and build confidence. Mathematics Examination Questions Primary 6 Mathematics
  7. Explore properties of geometric shapes - From rectangles to squares, understanding sides and angles lets you calculate area and perimeter in a snap. Imagine wrapping a gift - knowing the perimeter tells you how much ribbon you need! Practice with different dimensions, and soon shapes will feel as friendly as playing with building blocks. Mathematics Examination Questions Primary 6 Mathematics
  8. Tackle ratios & proportions - Ratios compare quantities (like ingredients in a recipe), and proportions show when two ratios are equal. Transform decimals and percentages into ratios to see relationships clearly - 0.8 becomes 8/10, which simplifies to 4:5! Practice by mixing virtual "recipes" or solving real-world puzzles. Mathematics Examination Questions Primary 6 Mathematics
  9. Convert between fractions, decimals & percentages - Master these conversions to navigate any math scenario: divide for decimals, multiply by 100 for percentages, flip for fractions. Changing 7/8 into 0.875 or 87.5% feels like unlocking a new level in a video game! Keep a conversion chart handy until it sticks. Mathematics Examination Questions Primary 6 Mathematics
  10. Use divisibility rules - Speed up your factor hunts by spotting patterns: even numbers are divisible by 2, sums of digits reveal divisibility by 3, and if both apply, you've got a 6! These quick checks help simplify fractions and break down big numbers into manageable pieces. Turn it into a fun quiz - see how fast you can test a number. SBAC Sample Questions: Grade 6 Math
