Geometry and Measure
Time

Geometrical reasoning, shapes and measurements
6Gg.01 Identify, describe, classify and sketch quadrilaterals, including reference to angles, symmetrical properties,
parallel sides and diagonals.
6Gg.02 Know the parts of a circle:
- centre
- radius
- diameter
- circumference.

Statistics and Probability
Statistics
6Ss.01 Plan and conduct an investigation and make predictions for a set of related statistical questions, considering
what data to collect (categorical, discrete and continuous data).
6Ss.02 Record, organise and represent categorical, discrete and continuous data. Choose and explain which
representation to use in a given situation:
- Venn and Carroll diagrams
- tally charts and frequency tables
- bar charts
- waffle diagrams and pie charts
- frequency diagrams for continuous data
- line graphs
- scatter graphs
-6Ss.03
dot plots.
Understand that the mode, median, mean and range are ways to describe and summarise data sets. Find
and interpret the mode (including bimodal data), median, mean and range, and consider their appropriateness for the
context.
6Ss.04 Interpret data, identifying patterns, within and between data sets, to answer statistical questions. Discuss
conclusions, considering the sources of variation, and check predictions.
Probability
6Sp.01 Use the language associated with probability and proportion to describe and compare possible outcomes.
6Sp.02 Identify when two events can happen at the same time and when they cannot, and know that the latter are
called 'mutually exclusive'.
6Sp.03 Recognise that some probabilities can only be modelled through experiments using a large number of trials.
6Sp.04 Conduct chance experiments or simulations, using small and large numbers of trials. Predict, analyse and
describe the frequency of outcomes using the language of probability.
