My Mini Maths (Y6 Arithmetic Practice) - This part of My Mini Maths is particularly helpful when you are practising for the Arithmetic paper.  You can select the types of questions you find tricky, watch a video to help you, then try lots of examples of that type of question:  https://myminimaths.co.uk/arithmetic-16-practice-questions/ 

MathsBot (Y6 Arithmetic Practice) - This is new, and is similar to My Mini Maths: https://mathsbot.com/primary/ks2Mini You can either practise all of the question types, or you can select the types of questions you find tricky.

• To select question types, click on the question number.  (You can select more than one question at a time.)
• Next, click 'New', and the questions that match the types you selected will appear.
• To return to the original set of questions, click 'Reset'.
• Whichever page you are on, to change the questions to a new set, simply click 'New'.
• You can check your answers once you have finished by clicking 'Answers'.

IXL - A fantastic website.  You can pick an area to work on, look at examples or explanations and also answer some example questions.  To use the website for free, you are limited to a certain number of questions, but it's definitely worth looking at every now and then.  https://uk.ixl.com/math/year-6

BBC Bitesize - A great website.  Again, you can choose an area to look at.  There are videos, explanations and short quizzes to help you.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/subjects/z826n39  (Make sure you have Y6 selected.)
