This Spring term in Mathematics, children will be learning about fractions and angles. We will spend time helping pupils understand fractions clearly – including recognising different fractions, finding equivalent fractions, and adding and subtracting them. In our work on angles, children will learn to identify different types of angles, measure them accurately, and use this knowledge to solve everyday problems.

Later in the term, we will move on to decimals and percentages, helping children see the links between all three and understand how they are used in real life. Throughout the term, we will continue with regular arithmetic practice to build confidence, improve speed, and strengthen key maths skills.



 

To support learning in an enjoyable way, we will continue using Learning by Questions (LBQ), which allows children to practise their maths in short, interactive sessions. Children will also be encouraged to work towards their multiplication and division badges, celebrating progress and helping them become more confident and fluent mathematicians.

Practising your Maths skills at home is a great idea. Here are some useful links to help improve your speed and accuracy:

• Times Tables Rock Stars

• Hit the Button – Top Marks

Throughout the term, we will continue applying our mathematical skills to real-life problems and reasoning challenges.

We’d love to know—where do you use Maths in your everyday life? Let us know!

Times Tables

It is incredibly important that you know and can recall your times tables in Year 5 and 6. If you haven't already got it, work hard and practise often to earn your Red Badge.

Calculations Policy

Here are our calculations policies. From here you can see how we build skills in adding, subtraction, multiplication and division. This may help you support learning at home.
