The National Curriculum statutory content for Year 4 is arranged in mathematical topic blocks over the year. Each block is divided into units. Each unit is focussed around one or two specific skills within that topic.
Due to the amount of subject matter in the National Curriculum, there is not much ‘wriggle room’ if teachers want to teach every unit in each block. In Autumn, we have allowed the first week for elicitation, finding out where your children are, plus an extra 8 days ‘spare’. In Spring, 6 days do not have allocated teaching, and in Summer – 5 do not. So you may need to select carefully what to leave out.
Hamilton strongly advise that teachers tailor the teaching using selected units in shorter blocks through the term to suit the needs of the class. Use the 'short blocks' button on the right to see our recommended route for progression through shorter blocks.
