Dear Parents and Carers,
Welcome back to a new school year, I hope you are as excited as I am to be back together. We are quickly settling into routines old and new ready for lots of hard work. Below is a breakdown of everything that we will be covering and what you need to know for the coming term.
In maths we are recapping place value. We will be exploring Roman Numerals, writing numbers from decimals up to a billion, understanding the value of each digit, and rounding numbers to help with estimation. Next, the children will learn about factors, multiples, and prime numbers identifying patterns in number. Before half term, we will ensure that children are confident with the formal written methods of addition and subtraction as well as mental strategies. After half term, we will explore multiplication. Children will learn a formal written method for long multiplication including multiplying by decimals. Finally, before Christmas, we will begin exploring fractions including finding a fraction of an amount, converting between fractions, decimals and percentages, and adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing fractions. Children will have a daily Mastering Number session.
