Mathematics

This term, our Number focus will be on fractions and decimals. We will also revise the four operations and extend students’ skills in algebra by solving problems involving missing numbers. Students will be encouraged to apply their knowledge and demonstrate mathematical reasoning when working on open-ended problems.

In Space , Students will review shape concepts such as symmetry and transformations (flip, slide, rotate). They will explore and compare the geometric properties of two-dimensional shapes and how they tesselate. 

In  Measurement, we will revise key concepts including length, mass, perimeter, and area.

In Statistics and Probability, students will consolidate their understanding of chance language, probability, and different ways to represent data, with a focus on creating and interpreting line graphs. 

In Algebra, we will find unknown values in numerical equations involving addition and subtraction, using the properties of numbers and operations. Students will create their own 'function machines' to follow and create algorithms that generate sets of numbers and identify emerging patterns.
