Term 2 2023

This term we will be learning about calculations. We will learn to:

divide numbers up to 4 digits by a two-digit number using the formal written method of short division where appropriate, interpreting remainders according to the context
perform mental calculations, including with mixed operations and large numbers
use their knowledge of the order of operations to carry out calculations involving the four operations
solve addition and subtraction multi-step problems in contexts, deciding which operations and methods to use and why

Also, we will be learning about fractions, decimals and percentages. We will learn to:

use common factors to simplify fractions; use common multiples to express fractions in the same denomination
compare and order fractions, including fractions >1
add and subtract fractions with different denominators and mixed numbers, using the concept of equivalent fractions
multiply simple pairs of proper fractions, writing the answer in its simplest form
divide proper fractions by whole numbers
associate a fraction with division and calculate decimal fraction equivalents [for example, 0.375] for a simple fraction
identify the value of each digit in numbers given to 3 decimal places and multiply and divide numbers by 10, 100 and 1,000 giving answers up to 3 decimal places
multiply one-digit numbers with up to 2 decimal places by whole numbers
use written division methods in cases where the answer has up to 2 decimal places
solve problems which require answers to be rounded to specified degrees of accuracy
recall and use equivalences between simple fractions, decimals and percentages, including in different contexts
