Set out your lesson
“When your child writes up a maths answer involving angles, fractions, or money, do they use precise vocabulary and correct notation — like writing "acute angle", "3/4", or "£2.50" rather than vague descriptions?”

- Activity. Communicate with mathematical precision: use correct fraction/decimal vocabulary, name angle types accurately, specify units in measurement and money, and use notation (=, <, >, ÷, ×) correctly
What to notice. Distinguish between 'three fourths' and 'three quarters' and use both correctly • State an answer in the correct unit: '63 square centimetres' not just '63' • Write 15:45 in 24-hour notation and explain the distinction from 3:45 pm
