In Term 3, our year 4 maths will cover the following topics:
Week 1: Area
Week 2: Prisms
Week 3: Volume and Capacity
Week 4: Triangles
Week 5: Number and order of operations
Week 6: Using Ratios
Week 7: Rates
Week 8: Fractions, decimals and percentages
Week 9: Time
Week 10: Assessment Task
Students will complete a 20-minute class quiz in Weeks 3, 5, 7 and 9. Each Quiz will focus on topics covered in the two weeks prior to the quiz (e.g., the Week 3 quiz will assess content from Weeks 1 & 2 the Week 5 quiz will assess content from Weeks 3 & 4, and so on).
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 aims to consolidate the topic focus area, allowing students to gain confidence and accuracy in their mathematics. To assist students in completing their homework, videos explaining the harder questions of the homework are accessible to students through the Eduvision Portal.
