We are delighted to welcome you to Year 4.

This web page will be updated with useful information and photographs of the fantastic work we have done in class and at home, so please check it regularly.

Maths

As mathematicians, we will learn about the concepts of area and perimeter. We will measure area by measuring surface coverage, e.g. counting squares before measuring area by using multiplication. We will find areas of figures that have squares and rectangles by counting and visualising. We will also learn about types of angles. We will name and compare angles, and use this information to help when classifying triangles and quadrilaterals. We will explore symmetry and symmetrical figures before applying this knowledge to the completion of symmetrical figures. We will draw lines of symmetry on shapes and figures, and will combine this knowledge and understanding to sort a variety of 2D shapes.
