Year 5 Maths

In this intensive selective school mathematics course, our lessons consist of four main components:

• 20 Minute Mini Test with review (Approximately 1 hour)

Every week, students complete a 20-minute mini test with a review immediately after the completion of the test.

• Topic focus: (Approximately 20 minutes)

Students will be completing a brief review of the main ideas and mathematical concepts that are required for the selective school examination. These topics include:

Week 1: Length and Perimeter

Week 2: Area

Week 3: Volume and Capacity

Week 4: Patterns and Algebra

Week 5: Algebraic Substitution

Week 6: Algebraic Equations

Week 7: Percentages

Week 8: Angles

Week 9: Fractions

Week 10: Assessment Task

• Problem Solving: (Approximately 40 minutes)

Students will be attempting to solve harder problems that are similar to the harder problems found in the selective school examination. This part of the lesson teaches students a wide range of problem-solving techniques, preparing them to systematically and flexibly solve new problems that they may encounter in the selective school examination.

• Homework

Homework aims to consolidate the topic focus area, allowing students to gain confidence and accuracy in their mathematics.
