Key ideas
We write large numbers with spaces, not commas: 934 567.
Front-end rounding uses the leading digits: 253 + 615 is more than 200 + 600.
Partial products break both factors by place value: 36 x 42 = (30 + 6) x (40 + 2).
Equivalent fractions name the same quantity, like 1/2 and 2/4.
Each place moving left is ten times the one before.
Watch out for
- Using commas instead of spaces.
- Rounding to the wrong leading place value.
- Missing a partial product.

Key ideas
A pattern rule describes how each element relates to the one before.
We can write a rule as an expression, like r + 5, to predict elements.
A letter variable, like n, stands for an unknown number.
A story problem can be written as a one-step equation.
We find the value of the variable that makes the equation true.
Watch out for
- Describing only two terms instead of the rule.
- Predicting without using the rule.
- Placing the variable in the wrong term.

Key ideas
Many rectangles can share the same perimeter or the same area.
Parallel lines never meet; perpendicular lines meet at a right angle.
For a given perimeter, the shape closest to a square has the greatest area.
Intersecting lines cross; vertical and horizontal describe direction.
A millimetre is very small, about the thickness of a fingernail.
Watch out for
- Confusing perimeter and area.
- Confusing parallel and perpendicular.
- Thinking one perimeter or area means one rectangle.

Key ideas
First-hand data is collected by us; second-hand data comes from another source.
Some questions are best answered with first-hand data, others with second-hand.
A double bar graph compares two sets of data side by side.
A legend tells which bar is which group.
An impossible event never happens; a certain event always happens.
Watch out for
- Thinking all data must be collected personally.
- Confusing first-hand and second-hand data.
- Leaving off the legend so the bars can't be told apart.
