Your child may be learning through a variety of topics and stories this year, which makes lessons relevant and exciting. They will plan and write their own wonderful creative stories, design posters and leaflets. They will learn to write in sentences and to use exciting language — all while improving their handwriting. 3. Maths skills

Pupils practise solving varied addition and subtraction questions. For mental calculations with two-digit numbers, the answers could exceed 100.write clearly, accurately and coherently, adapting their language and style in and for a range of contexts, purposes and audiences apply and prove the standard circle theorems concerning angles, radii, tangents and chords, and use them to prove related results} Pupils should read, spell and pronounce mathematical vocabulary correctly. Year 5 programme of study Number - number and place value draw 2-D shapes and make 3-D shapes using modelling materials; recognise 3-D shapes in different orientations and describe them

use the 4 operations, including formal written methods, applied to integers, decimals, proper and improper fractions, and mixed numbers, all both positive and negative The ‘basic’ school curriculum includes the ‘national curriculum’, as well as relationships, sex and health education, and religious education. Pupils solve two-step problems in contexts, choosing the appropriate operation, working with increasingly harder numbers. This should include correspondence questions such as the numbers of choices of a meal on a menu, or 3 cakes shared equally between 10 children. Number - fractions (including decimals) explore what can and cannot be inferred in statistical and probabilistic settings, and express their arguments formally solve problems involving the relative sizes of 2 quantities where missing values can be found by using integer multiplication and division factscompare lengths, areas and volumes using ratio notation and/or scale factors; make links to similarity (including trigonometric ratios) It’s beautifully illustrated and narrated, you sign up yourself then let pupils create their own monster (rather than children putting their details in), and while it’s available on tablets, the computer version is absolutely free to play.

Pupils begin to relate the graphical representation of data to recording change over time. Upper key stage 2 - years 5 and 6 To play, they must find words that match the dots and dashes cards. Their knowledge of sound buttons will help them with this task. A variety of dots and dashes and word cards with are included in each. Recording addition and subtraction in columns supports place value and prepares for formal written methods with larger numbers. Number - multiplication and division derive and illustrate properties of triangles, quadrilaterals, circles, and other plane figures [for example, equal lengths and angles] using appropriate language and technologiesPupils practise using the formal written methods of columnar addition and subtraction with increasingly large numbers to aid fluency (see Mathematics appendix 1 (PDF, 248KB)). move freely between different numerical, algebraic, graphical and diagrammatic representations [for example, equivalent fractions, fractions and decimals, and equations and graphs] describe the changes and invariance achieved by combinations of rotations, reflections and translations}

They use larger numbers to at least 1,000, applying partitioning related to place value using varied and increasingly complex problems, building on work in year 2 (for example, 146 = 100 + 40 + 6, 146 = 130 +16). extend and formalise their knowledge of ratio and proportion in working with measures and geometry, and in formulating proportional relations algebraically Pupils understand the relation between unit fractions as operators (fractions of), and division by integers.understand and use the concepts and vocabulary of expressions, equations, inequalities, terms and factors identify and interpret roots, intercepts and turning points of quadratic functions graphically; deduce roots algebraically {and turning points by completing the square}
