STRATEGY SPOTLIGHT LESSONS The main update to the SFP in 2026/27 will be the introduction of ‘strategy spotlight’ lessons. These lessons isolate a single mathematical method and explore it in depth. These will be located at the start of Unit 2 in Stage 3, Stage 4, Stage 5 and Stage 6. The methods are: Making the next logical unit… (eg 10, 100, 1) Making the previous logical unit… Partitioning both addends Partitioning the minuend Relationships for addition Relationships for s

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
