This unit focuses on three areas. [1] Securing the ability to read times on analogue clock faces [2] Developing a deep understanding of 2D shape [3] Creating and continuing arithmetic number sequences The work on 2D shape includes composing and decomposing 2D shapes. The ability to compose and decompose shapes is a fundamental geometric skill that involves building more complex figures from simpler ones and breaking down larger shapes into their constituent parts. This skill

New slides are now online to provide further support for Year 6 arithmetic revision. 1. Equivalent fractions (5F2b) 2. Percentages of quantities (6R2) 3. Multiplication of decimals (6F9b) 4. Subtraction of decimals from whole numbers (4F8, 5F8) More details Equivalent fractions This topic was chosen because fluency with equivalent fractions supports learning in other areas. For example: • adding and subtracting fractions • comparing and o

A 2.5cm squared paper file has been added to the Resources page. Many of the magnetic versions of Cuisenaire rods that are used for teacher modelling come in multiples of 2.5cm. Children use their Cuisenaire rods in cm squared paper and it is helpful if teacher modelling with the magnetic versions of Cuisenaire rods can also be done on squared paper. If your magnetic rods are in multiples of 2.5cm then this resource will be suitable. You may want to join two sheets together a
