This page will provide you with the current Maths focus in class and various links and websites connected with the learning taking place in the classroom. Many websites will provide you with worksheets or simply allow you to practice your everyday Maths drills. You can also visit Mrs Gambley's Blog which will provide you with some fantastic resources and interactive games.
Term 2 Maths Outline
Weeks 1-2: Multiplication
· Revise multiplying a 2-digit number
by a 1-digit number using both the distributive law and written algorithm
· Begin to learn how to multiply a
2-digit number by a 2 digit number using the written algorithm
Week 3: Perimeter
· Revise Perimeter –
o
What
it is and how it can be found practically
o
What
units we measure it in (cm, m also mm and km)
o
How
it can be calculated for a square (Perimeter = side x 4)
o
How
it can calculated for a rectangle (Perimeter = length + width) x 2)
· Extend children by having them use what they
have learnt about perimeter to solve simple life-related perimeter problems)
Week 4: Division
· Revise the two forms of writing
division questions
· Revise dividing when there is no
remainder (Short division – no decimals)
· Extend this so that students are
dividing into multi-digit numbers
· Revise dividing when there is a
remainder (short division – writing a decimal as ‘r’)
Week 5: Graphs
· Revise picture graphs (pictograms)
what they look like, how they are drawn and how they are read/interpreted
· Revise dot plots - what they look
like, how they are drawn and how they are read/interpreted
· Revise bar graphs/column graphs -
what they look like, how they are drawn (axes, labels, title etc) and how they
are read/interpreted
· Revise Pie graphs - what they look
like and how they are read/interpreted (do not need to be drawn by hand)
· Revise how you can input a table in
Microsoft Excel and the program will then draw either a bar/column graph or pie
graph for you
· Introduce Stem-and-leaf plots. Show
how they consist of stems (generally to the left of the line) and leaves
(generally to the right of the line)
· Demonstrate how the ‘stem values’
increase downwards and how the ‘leaf values’ increase from left to right
· Have students practice reading
stem-and-leaf plots correctly
· Encourage students to draw a
stem-and-leaf plot from a given list of data, by arranging the data in
ascending order first and denoting what they stem is and what the leaf is on
each number
Week 6: Cartesian Planes
· Revise Cartesian Planes but focus on
the FIRST QUADRANT ONLY. Ensure students can still draw the first quadrant of a
Cartesian plane on grid paper and label it correctly
Week 7 : Exam
Number and Place Value
