Term 4 Maths Progressions
Maths progressions will differ from student to student but may include the following:
FRACTIONS
Students will be focusing on understanding fractions, their meaning, and the language around them. Fractions greater than one will also be covered - unpacking their meaning, and understanding how the different types of fractions compare. We will be learning about ratios; their meaning, and how to solve problems involving them. They will also learn how to convert fractions to percentages and vice versa.
Year 5 Fractions
STRATEGIES: Find fractions of sets when the numerator is 1 or more than 1.
STRATEGIES: Solve ratio problems using known multiplication facts or repeated addition.
STRATEGIES: Convert fractions to percentages.
KNOWLEDGE: Read, write and represent ALL proper fractions.
KNOWLEDGE: Read, write and represent some simple improper fractions.
Year 6 Fractions
STRATEGIES: Solve fraction equations.
STRATEGIES: Convert simple, non-unit (numerator greater than 1) common fractions to percentages.
KNOWLEDGE: Read, write and represent ALL proper, improper and mixed fractions.
KNOWLEDGE: Convert improper and mixed fractions.
KNOWLEDGE: Put all fractions with the same numerator or same denominator in order from smallest to largest or vice versa.
ALGEBRA
In this unit, students will be learning about the significance of rules to help them solve mathematical problems. They will learn to create and use rules to complete patterns and solve problems, and understand graphs, tables, and diagrams as well as plotting coordinates.
Year 5 Algebra
EQUATIONS & EXPRESSIONS: Use a rule to solve a problem.
EQUATIONS & EXPRESSIONS: Solve an equation with missing numbers.
PATTERNS & RELATIONSHIPS: Continue a number pattern and describe the rule.
PATTERNS & RELATIONSHIPS: Extensively interpret and analyse basic graphs, tables and diagrams to find relationships between numbers.
Year 6 Algebra
EQUATIONS & EXPRESSIONS: Read a word problem, write it as an equation and then solve it.
PATTERNS & RELATIONSHIPS: Plot coordinate points on a graph.
