Think back over the whole year. What is one thing in maths you can do now that felt hard back in September?

Maybe it was reading a big number, measuring in metres, or naming a shape by its sides. Hands up when you have one in mind.

A number built from place-value blocks. Read it aloud and watch which column holds the biggest digit.

Here is 235. Now here is 240. Which is greater, and which column told you?

These are all number ideas. In a moment we will look at a measures idea and a shape idea too.

Today we sort mixed review cards into the area of maths each one belongs to. An area of maths is a big topic — like number, measures or shape.

We will work these together on the board. The cards are: round 268; how long is a pencil, centimetres or metres; a shape with four equal sides; and a true-or-false card saying a square has four sides.

For the last card, you are not deciding if it is true yet. You are just saying which topic it is about.

Today we work through these sorting rounds together, each one a step harder. Say which topic each card comes from as you place it. We take the rounds one at a time:

• First: numbers under 500 and over 500.
• Then: lengths measured in centimetres and lengths measured in metres.
• Then: shapes sorted by how many sides they have.
• Last: statements sorted into true and false, drawn from all three topics.
