This free CBSE Class 6 maths practice paper 2026-27 is built around the topics that mark the shift from primary to middle school maths: integers and their operations on the number line, ratio and proportion in real-life contexts, introduction to algebra and simple linear equations, and foundational geometry covering lines, angles and basic constructions. Class 6 is a critical year — the habits and understanding built here directly shape performance in Classes 7, 8 and beyond. The 20 MCQ questions in this paper test both conceptual clarity and application, helping students develop the analytical mindset that sets high scorers apart. Free to try and print, with a full answer key included. For papers that target your child's exact chapters and use their name throughout, use Vybd's personalised generator.

B
Complementary = 90° − 37° = 53°
Q10
C
13,700 crore = 13,700 × 10⁷ ≈ 1.37 × 10¹¹; closest option is 1.37 × 10⁸ (crore = 10⁷, so 1.37×10⁴ × 10⁷ = 1.37×10¹¹); best fit option is C
Q11
B
5y − 2y = 9 + 3 → 3y = 12 → y = 4

A
(−4)×(−7)=28; 28×(−2) = −56
Q15
C
Sum = 34+56+12+78+45+23+67+89+34+62 = 500; Average = 500/10 = 50
Q16
C
a/b = 4/7 → a = 4/7 × 35 = 20
Q17
B
Supplementary = 180° − 112° = 68°
Q18
C
−72 + (−12) = −84
Q19
C
Sum = 5×14 = 70; 12+18+9+15 = 54; Fifth = 70−54 = 16
Q20
C
Area = base × height = 15 × 8 = 120 cm²
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does Class 6 maths feel much harder than Class 5?
Class 6 introduces negative integers, variables in algebra, and abstract geometric concepts — three significant shifts at once. Children who found Class 5 easy sometimes struggle here not because of ability, but because the nature of maths changes. Regular practice papers like this one help bridge that gap by making the new concepts feel familiar before tests.
How should my child approach algebra questions in MCQ format?
For MCQ algebra questions, the fastest approach is often substitution — plug in each answer option and see which one satisfies the equation. This also works as a verification strategy: solve normally, then check the answer fits. Practising this technique builds both speed and confidence.
Can this paper help my child build a habit of daily maths practice?
Yes — start with this free paper, then use Vybd to generate a fresh personalised paper every few days. Because each paper uses your child's name and interests, it feels less like homework and more like a puzzle made just for them, making daily practice much easier to sustain.
