Term 3

Big Ideas! 

• Two-and-three dimensional objects with or without curvedsurfaces can be described, classified, and analysed by their attributes.

• Shapes have sides that are parallel, perpendicular, or neither.

• Shapes have line symmetry, rotational symmetry, or neither.

• Shapes are similar, congruent, or neither.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify and sort shapes in a range of different ways using geometrical language to explain and justify grouping.

• Sort and classify plane shapes using geometrical language.

•  Describe number of sides and angles, angle size, equal or

• unequal side length.

• Use geometrical language to explain and justify classification and properties of shapes.

• Describe number of sides and angles, angle size, equal or unequal side length.

•  Draw objects that can take the form of plane views.

• Use commonly shared rules to communicate ideas about

defining shapes.

• Identify and explain relationships between shapes, including

similarities and differences.

• A percent is another way to write a decimal

• A percent is relative to the size of the whole.

• A percent is a special type of ratio where a part is compared to a whole and the whole is 100.

• A decimal is another name for a fraction

• A percent is a special type of ratio where a part is compared to a whole and the whole is 100.

• Benchmark fractions like 1/2 (0.5) and 1/4 (0.25) can be used to estimate calculations involving fractions and decimals.

• The effects of operations for addition and subtraction with fractions and decimals are the same as those with whole numbers.

• If two quantities vary proportionally, the quantities are either directly related (as one increases the other increases) or inversely related (as one increases the other decreases).

Learning Objectives:

• Use a range of additive and simple multiplicative strategies with whole numbers, fractions, decimals, and percentages.

• Know how many tenths, tens, hundreds, and thousands are in whole numbers.

• Know fractions and percentages in everyday use.

• Record and interpret additive and simple multiplicative strategies, using words, diagrams, and symbols, with an understanding of equality.

• Understand addition and subtraction of fractions, decimals and integers.

• Find fractions, decimals, and percentages of amounts expressed as whole numbers, simple fractions and decimals.

• Apply simple linear proportions, including ordering fractions.

• Know the equivalent decimal and percentage forms for everyday fractions.

• Know the relative size and place value structure of positive and negative integers and decimals to three places.
