    Geometry: Properties of Shape

    This topic will mostly focus on angles: classifying, estimating, drawing accurately, measuring and calculating angles around a point and on a straight line. 

    We will then look at properties of different 2D and 3D shapes.

    Vocabulary

    Angle                   Acute                   Right angle              Obtuse                Reflex       Degrees

    Position and Direction

    In this topic, we will explore translating shapes, reflecting in horizontal and vertical lines, lines of symmetry and problem solving using coordinates.

    Vocabulary

    Coordinates            Axis                   Vertical              Horizontal            Translation         

    Reflection             Symmetry                 Origin                 

    Decimals

    In the last week of term, we will begin our Decimals topic. We will be adding and subtracting decimals within and across one. 

    Vocabulary 

    Decimal place                 tenths          hundredths                 thousands                  

    Summer 2

    Decimals (continued)

    This term we will continue looking at decimals including adding and subtracting numbers with decimal places and multiplying and dividing numbers by 10,100 and 1000.

    Negative numbers

    In this topic we will explore negative numbers, their uses and how to add and subtract, moving above and below zero.  

    Vocabulary 

    Zero       Negative numbers       Positive numbers

    Converting units

    In this unit, we will learn and apply the conversions between different units of measure. This will allow the children to covert between different units of length, mass, capacity and time. We will look at a variety of fluency questions practicing the specific conversions before applying these in a variety of worded problem solving questions.
