Maths- Y4

Maths- Y5

Length, capacity and mass

Pupils will learn how to estimate and measure mass, volume and length. They will learn how to convert units of measure from larger to smaller, and vice versa.

Geometry

Pupils will explore angles: measuring angles, the investigation of angles on a line/point and drawing angles, before moving onto using angles as a descriptor for common shapes. The chapter ends with pupils solving problems involving angles and investigating angles inside regular polygons.

Area and perimeter of figures

Pupils will learn about the concepts of area and perimeter. They will measure area by measuring surface coverage, e.g. counting squares before measuring area by using multiplication. They will find areas of figures that have squares and rectangles by counting and visualising. They will learn how to apply their knowledge of finding area to figures in different orientations.

 Position and movement 

Pupils will explore position and movement. In the first lesson, they will name and plot points on a grid before moving onto the translation of a shape in the second lesson. They are then required to describe the movement of a shape on a grid as the first step in describing reflections. The chapter ends with pupils looking at and describing reflections across a mirror line.

Geometry

 

Pupils will learn about types of angles. They will name and compare angles, and use this information to help when classifying triangles and quadrilaterals. Pupils will explore symmetry and symmetrical figures before applying this knowledge to the completion of symmetrical figures. They will draw lines of symmetry on shapes and figures, and will combine this knowledge and understanding to sort a variety of 2D shapes.

Measurements 

 

 

Pupils will explore the measurement of mass, temperature, time and length. They will convert units of length from millimetres to centimetres and from centimetres to metres. They look at units of time in days, weeks, months and years, then in seconds, minutes and hours. The last lesson looks at temperature and how to use a vertical number line (thermometer).
