This sequence will develop pupils’ understanding of units of time. Pupils often find it difficult to imagine or estimate a given amount of time, for example: 1 minute. This understanding is crucial to underpin understanding of time intervals and life skills such as interpreting timetables, understanding how long it will take to walk somewhere or how quickly they need to run to win a race. The HFL maths advisrers have mapped and connected the curriculum in each year group term by term. Each half-term is developed with an easy to pick up and use set of sequences with step by step guidance. Examples of how concrete and pictorial representations can benefit pupils’ learning as well as other mastery techniques are included. Ideas to deepen and extend mathematical thinking for all learners, examples of great questions and resources to support pupils’ talk and reasoning are embedded.

This sequence briefly revises learning about angles from Year 5 and then builds further to find missing angles by applying what pupils know about angles in shapes, around a point and on a straight line. The new learning in Year 6 focuses upon pupils needing to be able to recognise angles that are vertically opposite as equal. This sequence provides a brief opportunity to consolidate and apply this knowledge in the context of problem solving in which pupils will be asked to draw on a range of knowledge and skills.

In this sequence of learning, pupils will build on their understanding of square numbers related to area to consider what cube numbers are and represent these concretely. This will lead to exploration of volume - reinforcing the understanding that volume is the measure of the space taken up by a three-dimensional object and how this can be calculated for a cuboid using length x width x height.

As pupils extend their learning in which they are expected to bridge whole numbers, they will need to apply their understanding of mixed numbers and improper fractions to help them calculate more easily, or to interpret final answers. As the National Curriculum statement suggests, pupils are actively encouraged to use materials and diagrams during this learning to ensure they have a secure understanding of this concept.

The HFL Diagnostic Maths Assessment: End of Year Transition Tool supports with assessment of learning at the end of the academic year to inform transition and autumn term planning as children move to the next year group. The papers cover the full National Curriculum content for each year group to support teacher assessment judgements and to inform planning for the next academic year. For Year 6 children, this will inform secondary school transition. ‘So what now? I know the gaps, but how and when do I address them?’ The multiple-choice questions have been specifically designed to identify where pupils are making common errors or have specific misconceptions. This will enable teachers to plan for pre-teaching and / or rehearsal by revisiting previously taught content. Each set of assessment materials for Year 1 to Year 6 in single or mixed age classes contains the following: Paper 1 – Arithmetic Paper 2 – Reasoning Digital markbook with filters and reports to enable forensic gap analysis Planning and transition guide to precisely inform planning and teaching for the autumn term for the whole class, groups and individuals For school-specific or training enquiries or to build a package to suit your school structure, please email the HFL Primary Maths Team at primarymaths@hfleducation.org

The ‘Year 6 Maths SATs analysis toolkit’ provides teachers and subject leaders with resources and analysis tools to identify specific areas of learning strength and development for pupils and classes when using any past SATs papers as practice (2016-2022). Accompanying the analysis spreadsheets, documents and progress tracker is a digital guidance video that explains each of the resources and how to use them. There are 5 resources within this SATs analysis toolkit. These resources are: • KS2 2016 / 2017 / 2018 / 2019 / 2022 Question Level Analysis tools (5 separate Excel documents) • National Curriculum Coded Domain Referencing Support (PDF) • Raw and scaled score progress and attainment tracker (Excel) • SATs Analysis Toolkit Digital Guidance • SATs Analysis Toolkit Guidance (PDF) This guidance document aims to support Year 6 teachers and mathematics subject leaders with using the analysis tools to identify both areas of strength and areas of development for Year 6 cohorts following completion of any of the 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2022 SATs papers.

This is an excellent series of lessons for Year 3, complete with an extensive range of supporting resources. In this learning sequence, pupils will construct and interpret bar charts in variety of contexts and orientation. They will look, firstly, at why bar charts are useful for organising information. They will be encouraged to retrieve information from bar charts, interpret and infer. There is no necessity in the Year 3 curriculum for pupils to draw entire bar charts from tables. Instead, they will focus on completing bar charts with scales provided. HFL maths advisers have mapped and connected the curriculum in each year group term by term.

This learning sequence links telling the time with several elements of mathematics, including reading scales, counting in multiples of five and fractions. Pupils will develop a physical sense of what a ‘turn’ is before applying this to telling the time on a clock. The focus in this sequence is to achieve a secure understanding of how the clock works, with a later sequence building on this to teach pupils how to draw the hands on a clock.
