10. Ways to support your child in English • Weekly homework and spellings • Reading aloud • Reading to your child • Keep the focus of task in mind • Computer?

11. Mathematics Organisation • Monday to Thursday • Friday – using and applying problems / targets • Mental starter – heavy focus on quick mental skills • Multiplication tables – speed and instant recall • New learning – children need to understand it in context and have visual / practical prompts

12. New National Curriculum Expectations in Mathematics NUMBER Importance of place value – Y5 numbers to at least 1,000,000 Y6 numbers up to 10,000,000 • Rounding; multiplying and dividing by 10, 100, 1000; negative numbers; counting in steps; Roman numerals

13. Addition and subtraction • Mentally • Rounding, estimating to check accuracy • Word problems – multi-step • Y5 with more than 4 digit numbers • Decimals • Written method - column

14. Column Written Methods for Addition Y5 Children should extend the carrying method to numbers with at least four digits. 587 3587 + 475 + 675 1062 4262 1 1 1 1 1 3121 3.20 + 37 +2.88 + 148 6.08 3306 1 1 1 Using similar methods, children will: add several numbers with different numbers of digits; begin to add two or more decimal fractions with up to three digits and the same number of decimal places; know that decimal points should line up under each other, particularly when adding or subtracting mixed amounts, e.g. 3.2 m + 280 cm.

15. Y6 Children should extend the carrying method to number with any number of digits. 7648 6584 42 + 14865848 6432 913412432 786 1 1 1 1 1 1 3 + 468111944 1 2 1 401.20 + 26.85 + 0.71 428.76 1 Using similar methods, children will add several numbers with different numbers of digits; begin to add two or more decimal fractions with up to four digits and either one or two decimal places; know that decimal points should line up under each other, particularly when adding or subtracting mixed amounts, e.g. 401.2 + 26.85 + 0.71.

16. Written Methods for Subtraction Y5 Children should: be able to subtract numbers with different numbers of digits; SHOW WRITTEN METHOD begin to find the difference between two decimal fractions with up to three digits and the same number of decimal places; know that decimal points should line up under each other. • If the numbers involved in the calculation are close together or near to multiples of 10, 100 etc., children should be encouraged to recognise that it is more efficient to find the difference by counting up using a number line to support the mental calculation. • e.g. 1209 – 398 = 811SHOW NUMBER LINE

17. Y6 Children should: be able to subtract numbers with different numbers of digits; be able to subtract two or more decimal fractions with up to three digits and either one or two decimal places; know that decimal points should line up under each other. • If the numbers involved in the calculation are close together or near to multiples of 10, 100 etc, children should be encouraged to recognise that it is more efficient to find the difference by counting up using a number line to support the mental calculation. e.g. 3002 - 1997 = 1005

18. Multiplication and Division • Y5 – short up to 4 digits and long multiplication for 2 digit numbers • Y6– multiply up to 4 digit numbers by 2 digits • Long division and short up to 4 digits • Remainders as fractions / decimals / rounding • Word problems – multi step • Estimation / accuracy • Y5 squared / cubed / factors • Y6 Factors / common multiples / prime

19. Written Method for Multiplication Y5 HTU x U (Short multiplication – multiplication by a single digit)

20. Y6 ThHTU x U (Short multiplication – multiplication by a single digit) 4346 x 8 4.92 x 3 Long multiplication – HTU by TU / THTU by TU Column Method

21. Written Method for Division Y5 Children can start to subtract larger multiples of the divisor (e.g. 20x). Short division (HTU ÷ U) 196 ÷ 6 1x 6 2x 12 4x 24 5x 30 10x 60 20x 120 The key facts in the menu box should be extended to include 4x and 20x. 6 ) 196 - 180 30x 16 - 12 2x 4 32 r 4 Answer : 32 remainder 4 or 32 r 4 Any remainders should be shown as integers, i.e. 14 remainder 2 or 14 r 2. Children need to be able to decide what to do after division and round up or down accordingly. They should make sensible decisions about rounding up or down after division. For example 240 ÷ 52 is 4 remainder 32, but whether the answer should be rounded up to 5 or rounded down to 4 depends on the context.

22. Y6 Short division (TTHTU / U) and Long division (HTU ÷ TU) 972 ÷ 36 Bus stop method Any remainders should be shown as fractions, i.e. if the children were dividing 352 by 6, the answer should be shown as 58 4/6 which could then be written as 58 2/3 in its lowest terms.

23. Fractions, decimals and percentages Y5 • Equivalence • Compare and order fractions • Add and subtract fractions • Mixed numbers / improper fractions • Ordering decimals • Calculating fractions of a quantity • Solving problems Y6 • Simplify fractions • Multiply and divide fractions • Calculating percentages

24. Y6 Ratio and Proportion • Solving problems including scale factor Y6 Algebra • Simple formulae • Number puzzles • Solve equations

25. Measurement • Conversion of units – metric and imperial • Perimeter and area – formulae. Y6 area of triangles and parallelograms • Volume of cubes and cuboids • Capacity • Solving problems with all aspects of measure including time

26. Geometry • Draw 2D and build 3D shapes • Classify shapes • Draw and measure angles • Reason about properties of shapes • Radius, diameter and circumference of circles • Find missing angles • Translation, reflection, coordinates in 4 quadrants – predicting missing coordinates

27. Statistics • Y5 Complete, read and interpret information in tables (timetables) • Solve comparison, sum and difference problems using info from line graph • Y6 Interpret and construct pie charts and line graphs • Mean of set of data

28. Assessment • Show KLIPS

29. Ideas for helping at home • Tables! • Aims for end of year 5 • Sharpen and speed up mental skills • Solving problems in real life context • Promote correct use of mathematical vocabulary • Practical work – measuring – conversion of units • IT – Ipad Apps; Interactive Resources • Homework – Y6 spring term
