Mathematics

During the first half-term, we have been focusing on core calculation methods. Once we have perfected our fluency in these areas, we then progress to Mastery of the claculation disciplines and work through more open-ended challenges and reasoning tasks. We are also using reflective journaling to explain and expand upon a range of topics. So far we have:

• Calculated using formal addition methods
• formal subtraction methods - including numbers in the millions and numberts with decimal values
• formal 'long' multiplication
• using 'BIDMAS' and exploring the order of multi operations
• short division, with fraction remainders
• long division with decimal remainders
• adding and subtracting fractions, improper fractions and mixed numbers
• multplying and dividing fractions, improper fractions and mixed number

Phew!
