Mathematics

In Mathematics, we will target the proficiencies of understanding, fluency, problem solving and reasoning, focusing on:

Number:

• Revising addition and subtraction strategies from last term, including counting on,  counting back, friendly numbers, commutativity, doubles and halves
• Combining addition and subtraction to explore more advanced strategies, such as fact families, partitioning into place value parts, and bridging to 10
• Continuing to deepen students’ understanding of and fluency with numbers up to 100 and beyond, including skip counting by 2s, 5s and 10s
• Introducing the concept of sharing, leading to representing practical modelling of division and multiplication
• Introducing simple fractions, such as halves and quarters, using both objects and collections
• 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 time on digital and analogue clocks, including o'clock, half past and quarter past/to
• Exploring location and transformation by following and giving simple directions 

Statistics:

• Describing and interpreting data from graphs

We will also be revising previously learnt topics.
