Mathematics and Numeracy

The following page provides information on the coverage of skills taught within mathematics and numeracy for the Spring term. These are:

Place Value 

• Round to the nearest 10, 100, 1000 and decimals to 2 places.

• Order decimals to 2 decimal places.
• Compare decimals to 2 decimal places using <>=
• X and divide by 10, 100 and 100 including decimals.
• use place value and number facts to solve problems inc, measures
Statistics

• Pose questions to collect relevant data.
• Draw and interpret a line a graph.
• Interpret information in a timetable.
• Revise Carroll and Venn diagrams .
• Introduce a conversion graph.
• Explain what they have found out in their data.
• Use digital skills where appropriate.
• Complete a frequency table based on tally charts.
• Find the mean, median and mode.

Addition and Subtraction

Mental

• Rehearse mental addition strategies for decimal and whole numbers
• Use counting on to count in 2 place decimals to the next whole number
• Add several numbers using mental methods


•Written
• Add several numbers using column addition
• Add and subtract 5-digit numbers.
• Check answers using written column methods
• Solve multistep problems

Position and Direction

 

• Recognise and compare acute, obtuse, right and reflex angles

• Recognise angles in a line measure to 180 degrees and around a point 380 
degrees
• Revise perpendicular and parallel sides
• Read and plot coordinates (1st and 4 quadrants)
• Draw simple polygons using coordinates
• Translate simple polygons by adding to and subtracting from the coordinates
• Reflect simple shapes in the y axis
• Use a protractor to measure and draw angles in degrees

Multiplication and Division

 Mental
• Revise fluency of times tables
• Find factor pairs
• Multiply and divide numbers by 10 and 100 up to 2 decimal places
Written
• Multiply 3 and 4-digit numbers using the column method. Estimate answers
• Divide 3-digit numbers by 1 digit using a written method including remainders
• Use long multiplication to multiply 3 and 4-digit numbers by teen numbers

Fractions, Decimals, Percentages

 • Revise unit fractions
• Compare fractions and find equivalences
• Simplify fractions
• Find fractional quantities of 3-digit numbers.
• Placing decimals on a number line and round to the nearest whole number
• Comparing and ordering decimals
• Know that percent means out of 100 and that fractions, decimals and percentages are all different representations of the same thing – part of a whole
• Explore equivalences between fractions, decimals and percentages

 

Pupils are challenged every week to improve their fluency in integral number skills such as multiplication and addition facts. Here is an example of the Year Five Big Maths Challenge. Pupils are encouraged to use the habit 'Get it Right!' to improve their scores and time. Here is an example below:
