Year Six: Autumn Term. Old Curriculum

This resource from Hamilton Trust contains two weekly plans, teaching sequences and classroom resources. They cover ordering numbers and place value, decimals, area and perimeter. The detailed teaching sequences include differentiated activity ideas, suggested resources and notes on progression and misconceptions in the specific areas. Objectives are:

Week 1

• Revise using decimal notation for tenths and hundredths

• Give a number between two numbers with one decimal place - for example, 2.5 and 2.6

Week 2

• Begin to recognise and use decimals with three places
• Measure and calculate the perimeter of rectilinear shapes
• Measure and calculate the area of rectilinear shapes
• Estimate the area of an irregular shape by counting squares
• Calculate the perimeter of simple compound shapes that can be split into rectangles
• Calculate the area of simple compound shapes that can be split into rectangles

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