Maths

Summer 1

This term, we will focus on Fractions, Decimals and Percentages, Measurement, Statistics and Geometry. Here are our objectives:

Number: Fractions, Decimals and Percentages

• Solve problems involving the calculation of percentages (for example, of measures and such as 15% of 360) and the use of percentages for comparison.
• Recall and use equivalences between simple fractions, decimals and percentages including in different contexts.

 

Measurement: Perimeter, Area and Volume

• Recognise that shapes with the same areas can have different perimeters and vice versa.
• Recognise when it is possible to use formulae for area and volume of shapes.
• Calculate the area of parallelograms and triangles.
• Calculate, estimate and compare volume of cubes and cuboids, using standard units including cm3, m3 and extending to other units (mm3, km3)

 

Statistics

• Illustrate and name parts of circles, including radius, diameter and circumference, and know that the diameter is twice the radius.
• Interpret and construct pie charts and line graphs and use these to solve problems.
• Calculate the mean as an average.

 

Geometry: Properties of Shape

• Draw 2D shapes using given dimensions and angles.
• Compare and classify geometric shapes based on their properties and sizes and find unknown angles in any triangles, quadrilaterals and regular polygons.
• Recognise angles where they meet at a point, are on a straight line, or are vertically opposite and find missing angles.

 

Geometry: Position and Direction

• Describe positions on the full co-ordinate grid (4 quadrants)
• Draw and translate simple shapes on the coordinate plane and reflect them in the axes.
