What will students learn in your course?
- To draw 2-D shapes using given dimensions and angles
- To recognise, describe and build simple 3-D shapes, including making nets
- To compare and classify geometric shapes based on their properties and sizes and find unknown angles in any triangles, quadrilaterals, and regular polygons
- To illustrate and name parts of circles, including radius, diameter and circumference and know that the diameter is twice the radius
- To recognise angles where they meet at a point, are on a straight line, or are vertically opposite, and find missing angles.
- To interpret and construct pie charts and line graphs and use these to solve problems
- To calculate and interpret the mean as an average.
- To add and subtract whole numbers with more than 4 digits, including using formal written methods (columnar addition and subtraction)
- To add and subtract numbers mentally with increasingly large numbers
- To use rounding to check answers to calculations and determine, in the context of a problem, levels of accuracy
- Combinations of two variables
- Finding pairs of numbers to satisfy equations with two unknowns
- Generate and describe linear sequences
- To solve problems involving the relative sizes of two quantities where missing values can be found by using integer multiplication and division facts
- To solve problems involving the calculation of percentages [for example, of measures, and such as 15% of 360] and the use of percentages for comparison
- To solve problems involving unequal sharing and grouping using knowledge of fractions and multiples.
