It is essential that
children have a clear understanding of number and value. They should
know without hesitation their tables and be able to calculate
mentally. For this reason we have been revising closely number
concepts and operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication and
division.) These will include as the year progresses numbers up to
100 000.
In addition, children will
extend their knowledge of decimals and fractions, their ability to
estimate and calculate and their experience in measuring (time,
temperature, length, weight, capacity.) They will handle data in a
variety of forms (spreadsheets, graphs, diagrams and charts) and be
familiar with the characteristics of 2D and 3D shapes (area, angle.

areas covered please visit the Cambridge Primary website.
In bilingual maths
lessons, children will be presented with concepts and vocabulary from
the Hessen maths programme, such as symmetry, parallel lines, problem
solving, etc.
