Introduction to Fractions
Students start with understanding fractions as part of a whole, using visual aids like pie charts and blocks. They learn to identify, name, and compare fractions. By Year 5, students perform operations with fractions and apply them to real-life contexts, such as cooking or dividing spaces.
Basic Concepts of Decimals
After establishing a strong foundation in fractions, students are introduced to decimals. They learn to convert fractions to decimals and vice versa and to use decimals in various contexts like money and measurements. By Year 5, students are solving problems involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of decimals.
Understanding Percentages
Starting with the concept of percentages as a special kind of fraction, students learn to calculate percentages of quantities and use them in comparisons. They apply these skills to data interpretation and financial calculations. By Year 5, they use percentages in more complex applications, including discounts, interest rates, and statistical data analysis.
