Advanced Maths Vocabulary
Communicate with mathematical precision: use correct vocabulary for ratio, proportion, algebra, volume, coordinate geometry, and circle parts; specify units including cm³, m³, and miles/km; use notation for algebraic expressions and order of operations accurately
Teaching approaches
Gakuva’s recommended starting approach is selected. You can still compare every option.

When your child writes up maths involving algebra or 3-D shapes, do they use precise language — like "algebraic expression", "cubic centimetres", or "coordinates" — and apply the correct notation throughout?

Check understanding
- Use 'radius', 'diameter', and 'circumference' correctly when describing a circle
- Distinguish between an expression, an equation, and a formula in mathematical writing
- Specify units correctly when presenting volume calculations (e.g. 60 cm³ not just 60)
