Module 1
So far we have been looking at Number and Place Value. We have been looking at numbers to 10,000,000 as well as rounding and comparing these numbers. We have also looked at negative numbers and how to calculate with them.
Reading and writing numbers to 10,000,000.
Rounding numbers to 10,000,000
Negative numbers
N.C read, write, order and compare numbers up to 10 000 000 and determine the value of each digit
round any whole number to a required degree of accuracy
use negative numbers in context, and calculate intervals across zero
We have been looking at rules of divisibility, prime, squared and cubed numbers.
N.C. identify common factors, common multiples and prime numbers
We have also been looking at long division methods and order of operations (known as BODMAS)
N.C divide numbers up to 4 digits by a one-digit number using the formal written method of short division and interpret remainders appropriately for the context
use their knowledge of the order of operations to carry out calculations involving the four operations
Module 2
In our maths lessons we have been learning about adding and subtracting fractions including mixed numbers.
NC. add and subtract fractions with different denominators and mixed numbers, using the concept of equivalent fractions
We are also studying measure. We have looked at the different types of measure and how to convert them, using our multiplication and division knowledge.
N.C use, read, write and convert between standard units, converting measurements of length, mass, volume and time from a smaller unit of measure to a larger unit,
In the final week, we have studied ratio. we looked at what ratio is, the symbols associated with ratio and how it relates to fractions.
NC solve problems involving the relative sizes of two quantities where missing values can be found by using integer multiplication and division facts
Module 3
In the first week back, we have continued to look at ratio and how this links to proportion. We have also looked at how both of these can be used to solve real world problems.
Following on from ratio, we have now begun to look at algebra. The children found it very eye opening when they realised that they have actually been using algebra, just in a different form, for most of their lives.
We have been looking at how to form algebraic expressions for things such as function machines and word problems.
NC: Pupils should be taught to use simple formulae and express missing number problems algebraically
We have also been looking at substituting values into algebraic equations and using these to find unknowns.
NC: Pupils should be taught to use simple formulae and express missing number problems algebraically
We have also been solving equations systematically and looking at the importance of showing the process clearly.
NC: Pupils should be taught to express missing number problems algebraically
As well as finding answers to algebraic equations, we have also been finding possibilities of values where there are two unknowns.
NC: Pupils should be taught to find pairs of numbers that satisfy an equation with two unknowns
NC: Pupils should be taught to enumerate possibilities of combinations of two variables.
For number day, we looked at the German Enigma machine and how it was used to send coded messages and how mathematics played a role in this and also how it helped to crack the enigma code.
Following on from Algebra, we have started looking at decimals and have been rounding decimals, adding and subtracting decimal numbers using a formal written method and multiplying and dividing decimals numbers by 10, 100 and 1000.
NC: identify the value of each digit in numbers given to three decimal places and multiply and divide numbers by 10, 100 and 1000 giving answers up to three decimal places
Module 4
We have followed on our learning by looking at equivalent fractions, decimals and percentages and continued the learning around finding missing percentages, order of operations as well as completing calculations with decimals and fractions.
NC: recall and use equivalences between simple fractions, decimals and percentages, including in different contexts.
We continued our learning by looking at shape and coordinates, as as part of this we have plotted coordinates, found missing points to plot a shape, translated and reflected shapes. As well as this we have been reviewing the properties of shapes and moved on to finding the areas of triangles and parallelograms.
NC: describe positions on the full coordinate grid (all four quadrants) and draw and translate simple shapes on the coordinate plane, and reflect them in the axes.
