This term, we are focusing on Numbers and Algebra.
Some of the progressions we are working towards are listed below.
Year 6
NUMBER STRUCTURE: Identify, read, write, compare, and order whole numbers.
Identify square numbers and factors of numbers up to 125.
OPERATIONS: Use rounding, estimation, and inverse operations to predict results and to check the reasonableness of calculations.
Round whole numbers to a power of 10, and round tenths and hundredths to the nearest whole number or one decimal place.
Add and subtract any whole numbers.
Recall multiplication facts to at least 10 × 10 and corresponding division facts.
Multiply multi-digit whole numbers. Divide up to four-digit whole number by a one-digit divisor, with a remainder.
Use the order of operations rule with grouping, addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
RATIONAL NUMBERS: Identify, read, write, and represent fractions, decimals (to two places), and related percentages.
Compare and order fractions, decimals (to two places), and percentages, and convert decimals and percentages to fractions.
Multiply and divide numbers by 10 and 100 to make decimals and whole numbers
For fractions with denominators of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, or 100: compare and order the fractions; identify when two fractions are equivalent; represent the fractions in their simplest form.
Convert between mixed numbers and improper fractions.Find a fraction or percentage of a whole number where the answer is a whole number.
Identify, from a fractional part of a set, the whole set.
Add and subtract fractions with the same or related denominators.
Add and subtract whole numbers and decimals to two decimal places. Use known multiplication and division facts to scale a quantity.
FINANCIAL MATHEMATICS: Solve problems involving purchases (e.g., ensuring they have enough money); create simple financial plans (e.g., shopping lists, a family budget).
Year 7
NUMBER STRUCTURE: Identify, read, write, compare, and order whole numbers using powers of 10.
Find the highest common factor (hcf) of two numbers under 100, and the least common multiple (lcm) of two numbers under 10.
Use exponents to represent repeated multiplication, and identify square roots of square numbers up to at least 100.
OPERATIONS: Use rounding and estimation to predict results and to check the reasonableness of calculations. Round whole numbers to any power of 10, and round decimals to the nearest tenth, hundredth, or whole number.
Recall multiplication facts to at least 10 × 10 and identify and describe the divisibility rules for 2, 3, 5, 9.
Multiply whole numbers. Divide whole numbers by one- or two-digit.
Use the order of operations.
Order, compare, and locate integers on a number line and explore adding and subtracting integers.
RATIONAL NUMBERS: Identify, read, write, and represent fractions, decimals (to three places), and percentages.
Compare, order, and convert between fractions, decimals (to three places), and percentages.
Multiply and divide numbers by 10, 100, and 1000.
Find equivalent fractions, simplify fractions, and convert between improper fractions and mixed numbers.
Multiply fractions and decimals by whole number.
Find a percentage of a whole number. Add and subtract fractions with different denominators of up to a tenth, using equivalent fractions.
Add and subtract decimals to three decimal places, with an emphasis on estimating before calculating.
Use proportional reasoning to explore multiplicative relationships between quantities .
FINANCIAL MATTERS: Calculate total cost and change for any amount of money.
Apply percentage discounts to whole-dollar amounts.
The Hero Progressions outlined above form the foundation of our math instruction. Students will be taught at a level that both challenges and engages them. The students will continue their learning in their assigned groups.
