Maths Revision- Test Week Exam

Our exam week in Year 5 starts on the week of November 25th 2013- we will have 3 maths tests in total. Two of the tests will be written papers, (one will be a calculator paper) and the other will be a mental maths test. Like last year in Year 4, these tests cover everything for the year. Of course we haven't finished teaching the maths curriculum yet for Year 5, but these tests are useful to see how well you do on what we have studied. They will also give you an idea of what we will be looking for over the year, with regards to the rest of the curriculum. Some questions you will find tricky, (that's ok, just try your best) and many you should find ok.
Please don't panic about these tests, we just want you to try your best, and really show us what you have learned in maths. Remember, maths is a subject where knowledge is built upon lesson after lesson, year after year. Therefore, some of the questions you may have to answer, you may already be familiar with, especially from Year 4. Think about the strategies and methods you have learned, and try to apply them when you are doing the tests. Think: what is the question asking me to do? What operation do I have to use? Do I need to write any units of measurement? You should always go back and check your work at the end if you have time- it's amazing the marks you can pick up just from doing this!
In order to help you with your revision- here are the key concepts we have seen since the beginning of Year 5.
Unit 1A
*Place value- e.g. what is the value of the 5 in this number? 654,312
*Rounding numbers to the nearest 10,100 and 1000
*Compare numbers and calculations using the < and > signs
*All times tables up to the 10 times tables
*Multiplying and dividing a whole number by 10, 100 and 1000
*Multiplying using the brackets method
*Multiplying using the grid method
*Division using a number line
*Division by chunking
*Number sequences
*Square numbers
*Square roots
*Factors of 2 digit numbers
*Adding 2 and 3 digit numbers using a number line
*Adding 2 and 3 digit numbers using column addition
*Subtracting 2 and 3 digit numbers using a number line
*Subtracting 2 and 3 digit numbers using column subtraction
*Finding the difference between 2 numbers
*Problem solving

Unit 1B
