Set out your lesson
“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?”
Full guide and materials
- Activity. 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
What to notice. 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)
