Mathematics Year 6 |
Calculation Problems In this unit, pupils start by considering the effect of the order operations are completed in and learn of the conventions that disambiguate abstract calculations, including the use of brackets. Formal algebra is introduced for the first time, although much of the emphasis is on non-abstract representations and the contexts in which it is applied.
Fractions Pupils deepen their understanding of fractions, building on their knowledge of different representations to focus more on the numerical patterns and relationships that are the foundation for efficient comparison and calculation strategies. |

Mathematics Year 5 |
Multiplication and Division In this unit, pupils explore factors, multiples, square numbers, prime numbers and composite numbers. Pupils use multiplication facts up to 12 x 12 to derive other multiplication facts and the corresponding division facts. They explore a range of calculation strategies to multiply and divide with increasingly large numbers, including the formal written layout. Through a range of problem solving contexts, pupils explore how to represent problems using models and develop flexibility when selecting strategies.
Perimeter and Area Pupils will build on their understanding of finding the area of shapes by counting squares. Pupils will measure and calculate the perimeter and area of composite rectilinear shapes using a range of units of measure. They will investigate the relationships between area and perimeter and start to consider the complications in finding the area of non-rectilinear shapes and therefore the importance of estimating these. |
