Learn Its
Learning at Home
To help with children’s learning, we would encourage them to consolidate their understanding of these facts and mental strategies. This selection builds upon those which have been given in the previous years and gives the foundations of their learning to come.
A solid understanding of these can support children’s school learning and allow them to access the more complex elements of mathematics.
Children may also, occasionally, be given Learn Its. These support children to develop their knowledge and memory of what they will need to know for upcoming topics in maths. This is not homework as such but is sent home to support children’s school work.
Children are also encouraged to access TTRS daily to ensure a rapid recall of the multiplication facts.
| Year 5 Rapid Recall Facts/Mental Strategies |
|
• Know pairs of decimals that total 1 • Tables allocation squared numbers cubed numbers multiples and factors prime numbers • Multiply and divide by 10/100/1000 • Multiply by 5/50/25 mentally x10 and half/x100 and half/x100 and half then half • Fraction, decimal and percentage equivalents 1/2, 1/4, 1/5, 2/5, 4/5 and those fractions with a denominator of a multiple of 10 or 25 • Know percentages as a fraction over a denominator of 100 • Convert between different units of metric measure [for example, kilometre and metre; centimetre and metre; centimetre and millimetre; gram and kilogram; litre and millilitre] • Know that one full turn is 360°, half turn is 180°, quarter turn is 90° and three quarter turn is 270° • Read Roman numerals to 1,000 |
