Patterns in Mathematics: Students will learn how to recognise number patterns and shapes. They will enjoy finding rules and solving simple logic puzzles.
Lines and Angles: Children will understand different kinds of lines (like straight and curved) and types of angles. They will also learn to spot these in everyday objects.
Number Play: Students will become confident in using large numbers. They will know how to compare and arrange numbers in the correct order.
Data Handling and Presentation: They will know how to gather information, put it into tables or graphs, and read the results clearly.
Prime Time: Learners will find out about factors, multiples, and understand the difference between prime and composite numbers.
Perimeter and Area: Students will be able to calculate how long the border of a shape is and how much space it covers using easy formulas.
Fractions: Children will understand how to divide things into equal parts. They will also compare, add, and subtract fractions with simple examples.
Playing with Constructions: Students will learn the use of ruler, compass, and protractor to draw accurate shapes and angles correctly.
Symmetry: Students will learn the concept of symmetry in designs and will be able to draw mirror images of different shapes.
The Other Side of Zero: Learners will understand what negative numbers are and how to use them in real-life cases like weather or bank account balances.
