Explanation

Competence aims after year 6

  • explore
    , name and place decimal numbers on the number line
  • explore
    strategies for calculating with decimal numbers and
    compare
    this with strategies for calculating with whole numbers
  • formulate and solve problems from one’s own everyday life related to decimal numbers, fractions and percentages, and explain one’s own thought processes
  • describe
    properties and minimum definitions of two and three dimensional figures, and explain what properties the figures have in common, and what properties distinguish them from one another
  • explore
    and
    describe
    symmetry in patterns and carry out congruent mapping with and without a coordinate system
  • measure
    the radius, diameter and circumference of circles, and
    explore
    and argue for how they are interrelated
  • explore
    measures for area and volume in practical situations and represent them in different ways
  • use
    different strategies to calculate area and circumference, and
    explore
    the relationships between these
  • use
    variables and formulas to express relationships in practical situations
  • use
    variables, loops, conditions and functions in programming to
    explore
    geometric figures and patterns
