Mathematics

Students will participate in lessons that help build understanding, fluency, problem solving skills and reasoning skills in all areas of Mathematics.

Number

This term in Number, students will extend their understanding of mathematical patterns, operations and algebraic thinking. They will identify and continue number patterns, explore missing values in equations, and create consistent rules that can be applied to different sets of numbers. Students will develop their understanding of mathematical modelling by using mathematics to represent and solve real-world problems and situations. They will also explore estimation and rounding to make reasonable predictions and check the reasonableness of their answers. Students will investigate number properties, including factors, multiples and relationships between numbers, and apply these properties to solve problems efficiently. They will also explore how algorithms and programming formulas can be used to represent and solve mathematical situations. 

Measurement 

This term in Measurement, students will explore the concept of mass, developing their ability to estimate, measure, and compare the mass of different objects using appropriate units and tools. They will revise key areas such as angles and area, applying these skills to real-world and problem-solving contexts. Students will also engage in worded problems to strengthen their ability to interpret and apply measurement concepts.

Statistics 

This term in Statistics, students will learn how data can be collected, organised and used to answer questions about the world around them. They will learn how to plan a simple statistical investigation, create questions and collect categorical and numerical data from their peers and wider community. Students will represent their findings using a range of graphs and data displays, learning to read, interpret and discuss what the data is telling us. They will explore mean, median and mode to describe and compare sets of data, as well as create and interpret stem-and-leaf plots. Through these experiences, students will develop their ability to identify patterns, make conclusions and confidently communicate what they have discovered from data.
