Handling Data 5
Shape, Space and Measures 6
All should be able to :
Solve a problem by representing, extracting and interpreting data in tables, graphs, charts and diagrams, for example: line graphs; frequency tables and bar charts.
Most should be able to :
Calculate statistics for small sets of discrete data:
- find the mode, median and range, and the modal class for grouped data;
- calculate the mean, including from a simple frequency table, using a calculator for a larger number of items.
Interpret diagrams and graphs (including pie charts), and draw conclusions based on the shape of graphs and simple statistics for a single distribution.
Use vocabulary and ideas of probability, drawing on experience.
Understand and use the probability scale from 0 to 1; find and justify probabilities based on equally likely outcomes in simple contexts; identify all the possible mutually exclusive outcomes of a single event.
Collect data from a simple experiment and record in a frequency table; estimate probabilities based on this data.
Some should be able to :
Recognise when it is appropriate to use the range, mean, median and mode; calculate a mean using an assumed mean.
Know that if the probability of an event occurring is p, then the probability of it not occurring is 1 p; find and record all possible mutually exclusive outcomes for two successive events in a systematic way, using diagrams and tables.
All should be able to
Identify different nets for an open cube.
Measure and draw lines to the nearest millimetre.
Record estimates and readings from scales to a suitable degree of accuracy.
Understand that area is measured in square centimetres (cm2).
Understand, measure and calculate perimeters of rectangles and regular polygons.
Most should be able to
Use 2-D representations to visualise 3-D shapes and deduce some of their properties. Use names and abbreviations of units of measurement to measure, estimate, calculate and solve problems in everyday contexts involving length, area.
Know and use the formula for the area of a rectangle; calculate the perimeter and area of shapes made from rectangles.
Calculate the surface area of cubes and cuboids.
Solve word problems and investigate in a range of contexts: length, perimeter and area.
Some should be able to
Make simple scale drawings.
Deduce and use formulae for the area of a triangle, parallelogram and trapezium.
Know and use the formula for the volume of a cuboid.
