Maths

In maths this term we will be working on ratio, algebra, decimals and also revisiting fractions decimals and percentages. Pupils will be able to:

Solve problems involving the relative sizes of two quantities where missing values can be found by using integer multiplication and division facts.
Use simple formulae to generate and describe linear number sequences.
Identify the value of each digit in numbers given to 3 decimal places and multiply and divide numbers by 10, 100, 1000, giving answers up to 3 decimal places.

How you can help…

Practise times tables to increase fluency; children who are not fluent with their times tables will struggle with the pace of calculation in year 6 and will find reasoning problems difficult, therefore it is vital to secure times table knowledge. Short sharp bursts of timetable practice are a good way to consolidate.
Support and encourage your children with their maths homework.
