Year Six: Summer Term. Old Curriculum

This resource from Hamilton Trust contains two weekly plans, teaching sequences and classroom resources. They revise the following areas number, measures, addition, subtraction and shape. The detailed teaching sequences include differentiated activity ideas, suggested resources and notes on progression and misconceptions in the specific areas. Objectives are:

Week 1

  • Compare fractions such as 2/3, ¾ and 5/6 by converting them to fractions with the same denominator
  • Order numbers with up to three decimal places and place them on a number line,
  • Begin to recognise and use decimals with three places
  • Find the difference between a positive and a negative integer, and between two negative integers in a context such as temperature or on the number line
  • Order a set of positive and negative integers
  • Compare numbers up to 1 million; use < and > signs
  • Recognise multiples of 2 to 10 up to the 10th multiple
  • Find common multiples and factors of two-digit numbers
  • Read and interpret scales on a range of measuring instruments; comparing readings on different scales
  • Tell the time on digital and analogue clocks using the 24-hour clock
  • Read and use timetables using the 24-hour clock

Week 2

  • Add two or more two-, three- or four-digit numbers including decimals
  • Subtract pairs of two-, three- or four-digit numbers including decimals using mental or written methods
  • Choose mental, written or calculator methods to work out addition and subtraction calculations
  • Visualise and draw on grids of different types where a shape will be after reflection, after translation, or after rotation through 90 or 180 degrees about its centre or about one of its vertices
  • Describe, identify and visualise parallel and perpendicular edges or faces
  • Use the properties of 2D and 3D shapes to classify 2D shapes and 3D solids
  • Estimate angles and use a protractor to measure these
  • Draw angles, using a protractor, on their own and in shapes
  • Calculate angles on a straight line, in a triangle or around a point

The Hamilton website also hosts a wealth of other free resources.
