YEAR 5 PROGRAM SEMESTER ONE

ENGLISH Students are learning to critically analyse a variety of texts and use evidence to support inferences and opinions. They are exposed to the reading strategies of thinking within the text, thinking beyond the text and thinking about the text. Students engage in a range of learning activities to develop skills to write persuasive and narrative text utilising key structural and language features. MATHEMATICS Students participate in activities to develop skills to read and interpret the size and order of numbers from hundredths to millions. They identify and describe factors and multiples of whole numbers and use them to solve problems. Students revise and consolidate their mental strategies and written skills in the four operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. They continue to develop their understanding of place value and number patterns. Students use real world problem solving tasks to model maths in context. They learn to interpret and make connections between three dimensional and two dimensional shapes. Students also compare 12 and 24 - hour time and convert between them. Using various units of length, they calculate the perimeter and area of shapes and real objects.
