Term 4 Maths Progressions
Maths progressions will differ from student to student but may include the following:
Rational Numbers (Weeks 1-4)
Students will build confidence with fractions, decimals, and percentages. They will practise converting between different forms, adding and subtracting fractions and decimals, and finding fractions or percentages of whole numbers. They will also use multiplication and division facts to scale quantities and identify whole sets from fractional parts.
Year 5 Rational Numbers
Convert between mixed numbers and improper fractions with denominators of up to 10
Find a fraction of a whole number, using multiplication and division facts and where the answer is a whole number (e.g., 2/3 of 24); identify, from a fractional part of a set, the whole set.
Identify, from a fractional part of a set, the whole set.
Add and subtract fractions with the same denominators, including to make more than one whole.
Add and subtract whole numbers and decimals to two decimal places (e.g., 32.55 – 21.21 = 11.34)
Use known multiplication facts to scale a quantity.
Year 6 Rational Numbers
Convert between mixed numbers and improper fractions
Find a fraction or percentage of a whole number where the answer is a whole number (e.g., 3/8 of 48; 30% of $150)
Identify, from a fractional part of a set, the whole set
Add and subtract fractions with the same or related denominators (e.g., 1/44 + 1/8)
Add and subtract whole numbers and decimals to two decimal places (e.g., 250.11 + 135.29 = 385.4).
Use known multiplication and division facts to scale a quantity
Algebra (Weeks 5-7)
Students will explore number patterns and relationships, solving number sentences and using tables, graphs, and diagrams to identify and describe rules. They will make predictions about future elements and create algorithms to generate patterns, procedures, or make decisions.
Year 5 Algebra
Form and solve true or false number sentences and open number sentences involving all four operations (e.g., 674 + 56 – __ = 671).
Use tables to recognise the relationship between the ordinal position and its corresponding element in a growing pattern, develop a rule for the pattern in words, and make conjectures about further elements or terms in the pattern
Create and use an algorithm for generating a pattern, procedure, or pathway.
Year 6 Algebra
Form and solve true or false number sentences and open number sentences involving all four operations, using an understanding of equality or inequality (e.g., 8 × 7 < 8 × 5 + 8 (T or F?).
Use tables, xy graphs, and diagrams to recognise relationships in a linear pattern, develop a rule for the pattern in words (i.e., that there is a constant amount of change between consecutive elements or terms), and make conjectures about further elements in the pattern.
Create and use algorithms for making decisions that involve clear choices.
