Maths

Summer 1

This term, we will focus on 'Area, Perimeter and Volume, 'Statistics', 'Geometry: Properties of shape & Position and Direction'. It's set to be a busy term!

Year 6 will work on the following objectives:

 

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.
