Y5- I can use facts about shapes to deduce missing angles and lengths. I can identify regular and irregular polygons. I can use a protractor.

Eagle maths week beginning 4th March:

Y5 and Y6 -I can calculate missing angles on a straight line, around a point and in a triangle

Y6 additional objectives- I can find missing angles in a quadrilateral. I can describe different triangles and quadrilaterals.

Y6: 
- I can solve problems involving the calculation of percentages and the use of percentage comparisons.
- I can find the missing value when given a % of the total.
- I can calculate % increases and decreases.
Y5
- I can solve problems which require knowing percentage and decimal equivalents of ½, ¼, 1/5, 2/5, 4/5 and those fractions with a denominator or a multiple of 10 or 25.

Eagle class maths, week beginning 11.2.19

Y5

• recognise the per cent symbol (%) and understand that per cent relates to ‘number of parts per hundred’, and write percentages as a fraction with denominator 100, and as a decimal

• solve problems which require knowing percentage and decimal equivalents of 1/2, 1/4, 1/5, 2/5, 4/5 and those fractions with a denominator of a multiple of 10 or 25.

Y6

• divide proper fractions by whole numbers

• associate a fraction with division and calculate decimal fraction equivalents for a simple fraction

• recall and use equivalences between simple fractions, decimals and percentages, including in different contexts.

• solve problems involving the calculation of percentages [for example, of measures, and such as 15% of 360] and the use of percentages for comparison

Eagle class maths week beginning 4.2.19

Year 6

I can divide decimals by integers.

I can solve problems involving decimals.

I can write decimals as fractions.

I can convert fractions to decimals.

Year 5

I can round decimals to the nearest whole number.

I can round to the nearest tenth.

I can solve problems involving decimals.

This half term we shall be studying two picture books: the first is 'The Water Tower' by Gary Crew and using this to inspire our writing of narratives; the second will be 'The Arrival. by Shaun Tan.  We shall be reading extracts from Steve Backshall's Deadly Diaries, which are memoirs of his travels across the world. Then we will read The Unforgotten Coat by Frank Cottrell Boyce, a tale of an immigrant starting a primary school in Liverpool.

In our spelling/ vocabulary sessions, we investigate spelling rules and patterns. Spellings will continue to be sent home as a new rule if investigated; please ensure your child practises these and applies them in writing. 

In addition to our English sessions, we have a daily whole class reading session. Reading fluency and stamina is vital in Y5 and 6, and we strongly encourage the children to read daily to continue to improve this and further expand their vocabulary and understanding.  All children have the opportunity in the week to change their library book.
