Online Numeracy Lessons for Primary 5 Students in Scotland.

Primary Five numeracy and mathematics lessons begin with place value to 10,000. Pupils learn to say what a digit is worth depending on its place value up to 10,000 and to order numbers up to 10,000.

We teach how to round numbers to the nearest 10 and 100. Pupils learn what it means to round a number and to round a number to the nearest 10 and 100.

Pupils learn reading and interpreting decimal numbers to one decimal place. They learn to say what a decimal is, to know what a decimal place is and to read and interpret a number to one decimal place.

We teach adding and subtracting numbers up to four digits mentally with rounding. Pupils learn what it means to round a number and can round a decimal number to the nearest whole number. They learn round a decimal number to one decimal place. We teach pupils to say what rounding means, to estimate to give an approximate answer and to add and subtract numbers mentally with rounding.

We teach the properties of 2D shapes. Pupils learn what 2D means and identify the properties of 2D shape.

Pupils learn to define triangles by knowing their properties: length of sides and size of angles.

We teach the parts of a circle. Pupils learn what the different parts of a circle are and can label a circle, naming its parts. They learn what the relationship is between the diameter and radius of a circle.

We teach angles, symmetry and transformation. Pupils learnt what symmetry is and identify lines of symmetry. They learn to make patterns symmetrical over more than one line of symmetry.

They learn say what an angle is, recognise angle types by their size and name them correctly.

We teach the eight-point compass and its angles. Pupils learn the points of the eight-point compass. They learn what clockwise and anti-clockwise mean. They learn what the distance is between the points of the eight-point compass and work out in degrees the distance between the different points of the compass.
