Week 1 (4th Jan 10):
1.  Class game of bingo. Teacher to ask questions on number, shape properties, time etc. when calling out the numbers.
2.  Continue circumference investigation of last term. Where appropriate, explore the relationship between the circumference and diameter (when dividing the circumference by the diameter, the answer is always close to 3).
3.  Introduce pi. (Show formular for calculating the circumference using the diameter (C=∏d). Relate it to pupils’ results from previous lesson. Pupils to complete differentiated worksheets on calculating circumference. LA – focus on multiplying by 3 using a calculator. HA – Use Jump Maths if possible.
Week 2 (11th Jan 10):
4.  Teacher to introduce triangular numbers. What are triangular numbers? Can they complete the triangular numbers?
5.  Pupils to do mini investigation on triangular numbers. How many of them can they find? LA – completing simple multiplication sums using a calculator.
6.  Class to look at triangular numbers found and look at patterns.
Week 3 (18th Jan 10):
7.  Teacher to introduce pentominoes. Emphasise that pent = 5. Pupils to work out how many different pentominoes there are by making and drawing shapes made of 5 squares. LA – to be given different shapes to make/draw.
8.  Pupils to continue with pentominoes investigation, then try to complete simple pentomino puzzle.
9.  Pupils to continue with pentomino puzzle and, if necessary, attempt pentomino challenge.
Week 4 (25th Jan 10):
10.  Teacher to introduce rotational symmetry. Pupils to complete activities on the interactive whiteboard.
11.  Pupils to complete differentiated worksheets on rotational symmetry. LA – worksheets on simple line symmetry.
12.  Pupils to do an investigation on shapes and their rotational and/or line symmetry. HA – Jump maths if possible.
Week 5 (1st Feb 10):
13.  Introduce line graphs. Complete line graph activity on the interactive whiteboard.
14.  Pupils to complete differentiated worksheets on line graphs. LA – worksheets on pictograms. HA – Jump Maths if possible.
15.  Pupils to complete further differentiated worksheets on line graphs. LA – worksheets on bar graphs. HA – Jump Maths if possible.
Week 6 (8th Feb 10):
16.  Teacher to introduce decimals. Pupils to complete place value activities on the interactive whiteboard.
17.  Pupils to complete worksheets on place value for decimals. LA – place value for whole numbers. HA – Jump Maths if possible.
18.  Pupils to complete place value games (including decimals where appropriate) on individual computers. / 1
