Patricia Mogose Maths Tutor

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
