MATHSThis term in maths we will be learning to:Number

Read, write and locate any 4-digit number on a landmarked line from 0-1000 and use this to

Locate 4-digit numbers on a landmarked line and use this to compare/order numbers Round to ten, a hundred and a thousand. Understand the nos of 1s, 10s, 100s, 1000s in a 4-d no, & use of zero as a

place holder Recognise negative numbers in relation to number lines and temperature Read Roman numerals to 100 (I to C).

Addition and subtraction Mentally add and subtract any pair of two digit numbers or 3-digit multiples of. Use column addition to add 3-digit & 4-digit nos: first expanded, then

compact method. Subtract numbers from 3-digit numbers using ‘Frog’/counting up, e.g. 426–

278, 321-87. Use 'Frog' to subtract from multiples of 1000 where the difference is less than

500. Use column subtraction to subtract 3-digit & 4-digit nos: first expanded, then

compact method. Estimate and use inverse operations to check answers to a calculation. Solve addition and subtraction two-step problems in contexts, deciding which

operations and methods to use and why.Multiplication and division

Count in multiples of 6, 7, 9, 25 and 1000. Recognise negative numbers in relation to number lines and temperature. Add multiples of 1, 10, 100, 1000 without difficulty. Multiply 1 and 2 digit whole numbers by 10, 100 and 1000. Know and recite times tables, including division facts, up to 12 × 12; Multiply by 0 and multiply and divide by 1. 18. Use known facts, place value,

factors and commutativity to multiply and divide mentally, including multiplying three numbers together.

Multiply 1-digit numbers by 2-digit or 'friendly' 3-digit numbers mentally or using grid method (i.e. using the distributive law).

Know how to use ‘efficient chunking’ for division above the range of the tables facts, e.g. 84 ÷ 6 = ?

Begin to extend this to 3 digit numbers Solve single-step problems; begin to solve multi-step problems, including

multiplication/division Solve scaling & harder correspondence problems: n objects are connected to

m objects. Find the effect of dividing a one- or two-digit number by 10 and 100,

Fractions and decimals Write the equivalent fraction for fractions with given denominators or

numerators, e.g. ½ = ?/8 Reduce a fraction to its simplest form, e.g. 6/12 ≡ ½. 24. Use times tables to find unit and non-unit fractions of amounts, e.g. 1/6 of 48,

3/8 of 64. 25. Add and subtract fractions with the same denominator. Know that one-place decimal numbers represent ones and tenths Round decimals with one decimal place to the nearest whole number. Recognise and write decimal equivalents of any number of tenths or

hundredths and decimal equivalents to ¼, ½, ¾. Compare numbers with the same number of decimal places up to two decimal

places. Solve simple measure/money problems involving fractions and decimals to

two decimal places. Count up and down in hundredths

Shape, measure, position and direction Convert between units of measurement, e.g. cm to m, g to Kg, ml to L; units of

time. Measure and calculate the perimeter of a rectilinear figure (incl. squares) in

pounds and pence Convert between units of time, analogue/digital times, and between 12-hour &

24-hour times. Compare and classify geometric shapes, including quadrilaterals and

triangles, based on their properties and sizes. Identify acute and obtuse angles, compare and order angles up to 180⁰ . Identify lines of symmetry in 2-D shapes presented in different orientations;

complete a simple symmetric figure with respect to one line of symmetry. Describe positions on a 2-D grid as coordinates in the first quadrant, plot

specified points and draw sides to complete a given polygon. Describe movements between positions as translations of a given unit to

left/right, up/down

and continuous data on time graphs; answer questions re-data.

Additional information

PE Kit : Please ensure that your child has their full PE kit in school every week, for both indoor and outdoor activities. Kit needs to be kept in proper Games kit bags (no plastic bags, please). It is important that all children are wearing the correct uniform kit. It does impact your child’s learning when they do not have the correct clothing. Please ensure your child has a water bottle.

Homework We will be sending out all homework on a Thursday. Spelling lists to be revised for the spelling test every Monday, maths and comprehension books. Please make sure all their homework is returned for marking by Monday. Please listen to your child read and note down the reading your child does at home each day in their diary.

Reading Homework Please hear your child read at least twice a week; this is to be recorded formally in the Home School Book. The children should also continue to learn their weekly spellings. Useful questions to ask whilst hearing your child read: •What do you like best about the book you are reading?• What do you think will happen next in the book? • How is the setting described? • What words did the author use to describe the characters?
