Welcome to Mrs Alexander's Primary Five Class!

Mathematics & Numeracy – In this half term we will be studying:

Number

Count forwards and backward in multiples of 3,4,5,6,7,8,9, within 100.

Understand the equivalence of fractions where the numerator is 1.

Use division facts to find fractions of quantities.

Find out what must be added/subtracted to any 3-digit number to make the next higher/lower multiple of 10 or 100.

Find doubles and multiples of 10 and 50.

Use written multiplication to multiply a 3-digit number by a single digit number.

Solve a range of written and mental problems, selecting the appropriate operation.

Calculate the input/output or operation within a given function machine.

Compare different ways of spending a fixed budget within £100.00

Calculate estimated costs by rounding prices.

Discuss ways of managing money effectively.

Learn the 6, 7 and 9 times multiplication facts as repeated addition and arrays. Year 5 will derive the corresponding division facts, using their understanding of the inverse operation.

Measures

Convert between mm and cm.

Know and use gram equivalents of 1kg, ½ kg, ¼ kg, ¾ kg and 1/10 kg.

Know and use millilitre equivalents of 1l, ½ l, ¼ l, ¾ l and 1/10 l.

Use the relationship between hours, minutes and seconds to convert time durations.

Use a thermometer to measure temperature in degrees Celsius to calculate temperature increases and decreases.

Shape & Space

Draw nets and use to construct a range of 3D shapes.

Calculate direction and amount of turn using simple maps.

Understand the need for a standard unit of turn smaller than a right angle.

Data Handling

Design and use a data collection sheet to investigate an identified issue, and evaluate its effectiveness.
