Following the White Rose Maths scheme, Holmes class will cover six main blocks of learning over the course of the summer term: shape; position and direction; decimals; negative numbers; converting units; and volume. As part of the White Rose Maths scheme, each block is broken down into a series of small learning steps. Combined, these small learning steps then cover all the curriculum content your child needs to know in small, related chunks.Â
This term’s small learning steps for each block
| Maths area of learning | Block | Small Learning Steps |
| Geometry | Shape | Understand and use degrees; classify angles; estimate angles; measure angles up to 180°; draw lines and angles accurately; calculate angles around a point; calculate angles on a straight line; lengths and angles in shapes; regular and irregular polygons; and 3D shapes. |
| Geometry | Position and Direction | Read and plot coordinates; problem solving with coordinates; translation; translation with coordinates; lines of symmetry; and reflection in horizontal and vertical lines. |
| Number | Decimals | Use known facts to add and subtract decimals within 1; complements to 1; add and subtract decimals across 1; add decimals with the same number of decimal places; subtract decimals with the same number of decimal places; add decimals with different number of decimal places; subtract decimals with different number of decimal places; efficient strategies for adding and subtracting decimals; decimal sequences; multiply by 10,100 and 1000; divide by 10,100 and 1000; and multiply and divide decimals with missing values. |
| Number | Negative Numbers | Understand negative numbers; count through zero in 1s; count through zero in multiples; compare and order negative numbers; and find the difference. |
| Measurement | Converting Units | Kilograms and kilometres; millimetres and millilitres; convert units of length; convert between metric and imperial units; convert units of time; and calculate with timetables. |
| Measurement | Volume | Cubic centimetres; compare volume; estimate volume; and compare capacity. |
One of the most important things for your child to have mastered and maintain is their knowledge of times tables. For an overview of our weekly times tables focus, please view our Term 5 and Term 6 Homework Grid. To complement their work in lessons reinforcing their fluency, recall and commutativity of these timetables, your child will be set a weekly activity to complete as part of their homework on Sumdog.Â
