Ages: 7 to 11 (Years 3, 4, 5 and 6)

These school years will build on the work done in the early years and will also end with a SATs test as specified in the National Curriculum, towards the end of Year 6.

The additional work done in each year is:

Year 3:
>, <, = use of these symbols
square numbers, prime numbers
muliples of numbers
more fractions: 1/8, 1/10 etc
decimal fractions: getting a feel for their size
continued use of the 4 main oprerators: +, -, X, / for more detailed calculations.
adding: more than 2 numbers
multiplying: 2 digit by 1 digit. Introducing the other times tables to 10
division: halving and quartering by division, idea of remainder
Year 4:
Fraction equivalence
Negative numbers: appreciation of more and less
Odds and Evens: telling whether the result of an addition is odd or even by looking at the properties of the two numbers added
Ratio
Decimals and Fractions: their relationship
Extending work with the 4 operators:
adding: decimal numbers
subtracting: decimals
multiplication: doubling
division: by single digit, maybe with remainder
Measurement: less and more in different units, converting units of measurement cm, mm, m
Areas: by counting squares
Perimeters of shapes
3D Shapes: faces, edges, vertices, nets
Angle: measurement by protractor
Compass points
Year 5:
Writing larger numbers as figures and words
Estimating calculations by rounding
Estimating fractions of quantities
Negative numbers: differences between
Multiples and factors
Number squaring
Fractions: comparing sizes, with many different denominators. Considering one quantity as a fraction of another
Percentage: of a quantity, manually calculated
Extending work with the 4 operators:
Adding: several numbers, varying sizes, in columns
Subtracting: hundreds and thousands
Multiplying: of decimals, and long multiplication
Dividing: into numbers in hundreds and thousands
Calculator work for all operations including problem solving
Areas: in square mm, cm, m. Also converting between such units
Metric and imperial units: comparing between
Triangle: types of
Time: 24 hour clock
Angles: types of, calculation of angles in shapes
Reflection and rotation
Probability: understanding of, and associated words
Year 6:
Estimating decimal calculations by rounding to a whole number
Number sequence: describing the pattern
Multiples: awareness of larger multiples of single digit numbers
Fractions: by all 4 operators, also mixed numbers and improper fractions
Percentage: one number as percentage of another, percentages of quantities, with and without use of calculator
Extending work with the 4 operators:
Multiplication: Long, with 3 digit numbers
Division: Long, by 2 digits
Calculator work: extended to fraction and percentage
Brackets: interpreting use of, in more complex calculations
Metric/Imperial units: converting between
Area calculation: square, rectangle, triangle
Quadrilaterals: further types
Polygons: names and properties

Towards the end of Year 6, children will take a SATs test as specified in the national cuuriculum. This will assess their attainment thus far. The exam consists of a calculator paper, a non-calculator paper and a mental test.

Tuition can address any or all of the above areas, and provide practice in SATs tests by the use of past papers
