Narrative Text

Maths- Y4		Maths- Y5
^{Position and Movement}	^{Pupils will learn how to describe the positions of objects and figures. They will learn how to describe positions on grids using coordinates. They will be introduced to the x and y axis', and build an understanding of how coordinates are written. They will learn how to translate shapes using the terms 'left', 'right', 'upwards' and 'downwards', and will use coordinates to describe a figure following a translation.}	^{Area and Perimeter}	^{Pupils will be extending their knowledge of perimeter and area. It begins with pupils finding the perimeter of a polygon constructed from other polygons. They then look at constructing shapes with the same perimeter but a different area.}
^{Roman Numerals}	^{In this chapter, pupils will learn to read and write Roman numerals. They will learn how Roman numerals were used and how they are still used today.}	^Volume	^{Pupils will look at the volume of specific shapes such as rectangular boxes. The term 'capacity' is revisited in a lesson in the middle of this chapter, which helps pupils differentiate between 'volume' and 'capacity'. Next, they learn to convert between different metric units and then between metric and imperial units. The chapter ends with pupils solving increasingly challenging word problems related to volume.}
		Roman Numerals	^{Pupils will identify and use Roman numerals. In the first lesson, pupils learn to write Roman numerals to 1000, determining rules to apply to the written number. In the second lesson, pupils learn how to write years above 1000. The chapter ends with applying knowledge of Roman numerals to real-life scenarios.}
