Numbers & Calculations
Big numbers, times tables, multiplying and dividing
- Place Value & Numbers to 100 000ReadyRead, build and compare numbers all the way to 100 000.
- Adding & Subtracting Whole NumbersReadyAdd and subtract big whole numbers, and use the tricks the operations hide.
- Multiplication Facts & Mental MathReadyKnow your facts to 12 × 12, and multiply by 0.1 and 0.01 in your head.
- Multiplying & Dividing Bigger NumbersReadyMultiply two-digit numbers and divide three-digit numbers, and see WHY the steps work.
- Ratios & RatesReadyTwo of this for every three of that. Ratios keep amounts fair when things grow.
Fractions & Decimals
Halves, quarters, decimals and rounding
- Fractions & Equivalent FractionsReadyDifferent-looking fractions can be the same amount. 2/4 is exactly 1/2. Every fraction has one true home on the number line.
- Decimals & RoundingReadyDecimals live on the same number line as fractions. Rounding picks the closer neighbour: 4.36 is about 4.4.
- Adding, Subtracting & Using FractionsReadyWhen the parts are the same size, you can add and subtract fractions by counting the parts.
- Multiplying & Dividing by Unit FractionsReadyFour groups of one third is 4/3. And four whole things hold twelve thirds. Two questions, same two numbers.
Patterns & Equations
Patterns, missing numbers and simple coding
- Patterns & Pattern RulesReadyEvery pattern hides a rule. Catch the rule and you can predict what comes next — even far ahead.
- Variables, Expressions & EquationsReadyA letter can stand for a hidden number. An equation is a balance — keep both sides equal and the mystery number shows itself.
- Coding: Conditions, Loops & Reading CodeReadyCode can ask a question and then do different things depending on the answer. Children read short programs, predict what they will do, change one thing and watch what follows, then write programs of their own.
Graphs, Data & Chance
Graphs, averages, surveys and probability
- Reading & Choosing GraphsReadyThe numbers can stay the same while the picture changes. Learn to check both — and to pick the graph that fits your question.
- ProbabilityReadyA fraction can say how likely something is. What SHOULD happen and what DOES happen get closer the more you try.
- Surveys & SamplingReadyAsk a good question, choose who to ask, and collect data you can trust.
- Mean, Median & ModeReadyThree ways to say 'usually': level everything out (mean), find the middle (median), find the most common (mode).
- Infographics & Data StoriesReadyTurn a data set into a picture story that's clear AND fair — then check that the words match the numbers.
Shapes & Measurement
Shapes, angles, area, perimeter and units
- Coordinates & TransformationsReadyPlot points on a grid, then slide, flip and turn shapes — and predict where they land.
- Area & PerimeterReadyPerimeter is the distance around a shape. Area is the space inside. Two shapes can share one and differ in the other.
- Triangles & Congruent ShapesReadyBuild triangles from rules, and spot shapes that match exactly.
- Angles & ProtractorsReadyAn angle is a turn. Compare turns, then measure and draw them with a protractor.
- Metric Units & ConversionsReadyPick the right unit — mm, cm, m, km, g, kg, mL, L — and convert bigger units into smaller ones.
- Views of 3D ObjectsReadyDraw what an object looks like from the top, the front and the side.
Money
Spending, budgets, best deals and taxes
- Taxes, Governments & Community ServicesReadyRoads, parks and fire services cost money and nobody pays at the door. Different governments collect taxes, and that revenue helps pay for what a community shares.
- Money & TransactionsReadyHow money travels — cash, cards, transfers — and how to estimate the cost of a whole basket.
- Budgets, Credit & DebtReadyA budget is a money plan you can test BEFORE you spend. And credit means buying now, paying later — with care.
- Unit Rates & Best ValueReadyWhich deal is really better? Unit rates tell you — the price for ONE makes different pack sizes comparable.
