Mathematics

In Mathematics, we will build students' mathematical proficiencies of Understanding, Fluency, Problem Solving and Reasoning.  Below is an overview of some of the core concepts covered in each strand: 

Number and Algebra:

• Revising addition and subtraction strategies from last term, including counting on,  counting back, friendly numbers, doubles and halves
• Combining addition and subtraction to explore more advanced addition and subtraction strategies, such as fact families, partitioning into place value parts and commutativity 
• Integrating addition with financial mathematics to solve money related problems  
• Deepening students’ fluency and understanding of numbers up to 120 and beyond, particularly in terms of place value 
• Further exploring the concept of sharing, leading to representing practical modelling of division and multiplication
• Continuing to develop strategies for problem solving in real life scenarios, requiring students to explain their thinking and reasoning

Measurement:

• Estimating, measuring and ordering the capacity of objects
• Reading the time on digital and analogue clocks, including o'clock and half past

Statistics:

• Gathering data by asking questions and representing findings on a graph 
• Analysing and interpreting information from graphs to summarise the key findings and draw conclusions  

Space: 

• Recognising, naming and describing 3D shapes/objects and their features
• Creating 3D shapes/object using hands-on materials 

We will also be revising previously learnt topics, as part of our ongoing revision process, which helps students activate prior knowledge and retain concepts into their long term memory.
