Spring 2

Our fourth term of the academic year will cover fractions, starting with understanding the concept of 'a whole', developing to mixed number fractions and finally converting fractions. This leads on nicely to our unit on decimals. 

Our TT Rockstars homework of 20 minutes is still in place. We will also be adding 1 sound check a week to the children of year 4, to build up their confidence in answering 25 questions with 6 seconds per question. 

Fractions

Step 1 – Understand the whole

Step 2 – Count beyond 1

Step 3 – Partition a mixed number

Step 4 – Number lines with mixed numbers

Step 5 – Compare and order mixed numbers

Step 6 – Understand improper fractions

Step 7 – Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions

Step 8 – Convert improper fractions to mixed numbers

Step 9 – Equivalent fractions on a number line

Step 10 – Equivalent fraction families

Step 11 – Add two or more fractions

Step 12 – Add fractions and mixed numbers

Step 13 – Subtract two fractions

Step 14 – Subtract from whole amounts

Step 15 – Subtract from mixed numbers

Decimals

Step 1 – Tenths as fractions

Step 2 – Tenths as decimals

Step 3 – Tenths on a place value chart

Step 4 – Tenths on a number line

Step 5 – Divide a 1-digit number by 10

Step 6 – Divide a 2-digit number by 10

Step 7 – Hundredths as fractions

Step 8 – Hundredths as decimals

Step 9 – Hundredths on a place value chart

Step 10 – Divide a 1- or 2-digit number by 100

• Step 7 - Multiply and divide by 7        
• Step 8 - 7 times-table and division facts        
• Step 9 - 11 times-table and division facts        
• Step 10 - 12 times-table and division facts        
• Step 11 - Multiply by 1 and 0        
• Step 12 - Divide a number by 1 and itself        
• Step 13 - Multiply three numbers

Area

• Step 1 - What is area?
• Step 2 - Count squares
• Step 3 - Make shapes
• Step 4 - Compare areas

During our first term we will be exploring Place Value and Addition and Subtraction. Below lists how the learning is broken down over year 4.
