Maths in Term 5
This term we will begin by reviewing fractions as equal parts of one whole. This will include:
| 1 | identifying a whole and the parts that make it up |
| 2 | explaining why a part can only be defined when in relation to a whole |
| 3 | identifying the number of equal parts in a whole |
| 4 | explaining the size of the part in relation to the whole |
| 5 | constructing a whole when given a part and the number of parts |
| 6 | identifying equivalent fractions |
We will then move on to looking at fractions greater than 1.
This will include:
| 1 | learning how to express quantities made up of both whole numbers and a fractional part |
| 2 | labelling a range of number lines and explaining the meaning of each part |
| 3 | identifying numbers on marked but unlabelled number lines |
| 4 | expressing a quantity as a mixed number and an improper fraction |
| 5 | converting a quantity from an improper fraction to a mixed number and vice versa |
| 6 | adding mixed numbers |
| 7 | subtracting a proper fraction from a mixed number (converting to an improper fraction first) |
Alongside our maths units for term 5. We will be working hard to consolidate and develop our multiplication skills for all times table facts up to 12 x 12.

What can parents do to support learning at home?
- Ensure children are secure with their times table knowledge up to 12x12. This supports understanding in so many areas of maths.
- Practise quick recall of number bonds to 10, 20 and 100 - the more confident they are with this, the better!
- Help children to secure their written methods of calculation (please follow the schools calculation policy for this).
- Help children to recognise the value of numbers up to 10,000 - what is the value of the digit 5 in 4567?
- Ensure children can explain how they know their answers. I know this because... This shows...
