We have been doing Data Handling for 6 days now - reading, recording and interpreting data from bar charts.

Take a look at this website, try the activities and then do the test. Click here

What are we doing at the moment?

We are currently working on the students' ability to:

• Suggest suitable units and measuring equipment to estimate or measure length
• Use, read and write standard metric units (km.m,cm,mm)
• Be aware of the existence of imperial units of measurements
• Convert up to 1000cm to metres and vice versa
• Choose and use appropriate number operations and appropriate ways of calculating to solve problems
• Measure and draw lines to the nearest millimetre
  

What have we done so far this year in Maths?

The students should be able to:

• Read and write whole numbers up to at least 10000 in figures and words, and know what each digit represents
• Read and write the vocabulary of estimation and approximation. Make and justify estimates up to about 250, and estimate a proportion
• Recognise negative numbers in context
• Understand the relationship between addition and subtraction
• Count on or back in repeated steps of 1, 10, 100 or 1000
• Identify near doubles, using known doubles
• Use informal pencil and paper methods to support, record or explain addition and subtraction
• Add three or four small numbers mentally
• Solve word problems involving addition and subtraction in the context of money
• Choose and use appropriate number operations and appropriate ways of calculating to solve problems
• Develop and refine methods for colum addition and subtraction of two whole numbers less than 1000
• Extend understanding of the operations of multiplication and division and their relationship to each other and addition and subtraction
• Use doubling or halving starting from known facts. For example: double/halve two-digit numbers by doubling/halving the tens first; to multiply by 4, double, then double again.
