Teaching Points
Day 1: Sentence Analogies
3 and 4 20 minutes These traditional Verbal Reasoning questions still pop up in various school exams, so it's a good idea for your child to have at least a basic understanding of them in Year 5. Encourage your child to remember that the words they choose must be related to the words outside of the brackets in exactly the same way. A dictionary is recommended in these questions for looking up tricky vocabulary.
Day 2: Non-Verbal Reasoning: Order and Position
5 and 6 20 minutes This week's Non-Verbal Reasoning focuses on the placement and order of shapes in any given question. Students must pay attention to whether shapes are moving up, down, left, right, diagonally, or a mixture of all of the above! These questions can be frustrating at times, so encourage your child to look at one aspect of a figure at a time in order to work out what's going on.
Day 3: Area and Perimeter
7, 8 and 9
25 minutes Area and perimeter are quite simple in concept, but the number one way in which students lose marks on them is by getting the two confused! In order to prevent this, it's really important that your child understands exactly what each word means, and is also able to use the correct units in their answer. Area and perimeter of compound shapes is a little more difficult, so students should pay close attention to the examples in which the methods to these are explained.
Day 4:Revision Sheets
10 and 11 20 minutes These revision sheets cover the topics studied in this week's work, and students should use them to help highlight and strengthen any weaker areas before they attempt the Mini Test. If they come across any questions they don't understand in the revision sheets, students should take care to refer back to previous worksheets to help them figure out the right method to use to come up with their answer.
Day 5:Mini Test
2 pages 20minutes
We would suggest that Mini Test 12 should take 20 minutes.
Week 12 Extra Activities!
The extra activities below are designed to help students further strengthen skills needed in Year 5. They can be completed at any time that is convenient during the week's schedule.
1. Complete Vocab List 12 (2 words per day is a good way to break it down).
2. 'Area and Perimeter Challenge' game. Can be played as a family or with friends. Instructions are on a sheet included with this week's pack of work.

Sentence Analogies
In these questions, you must find one word from each group that best completes the sentence.Take a look at this example...
Horse is to ( foal, mammal, farm )as crocodile is to ( tail, green, reptile )
The most important thing to remember with these questions is that the first word in each line of the sentence must be related to the second word in EXACTLY THE SAME WAY.
In the first line of this sentence, the answer is 'mammal'. In this question, the relationship between the words is to do with what kind of animals horses and crocodiles are. So, the corresponding answer in the second line would be 'reptile', as this is the kind of animal a crocodile is. Now have a go at some yourself below!
Sometimes answers have less to do with the meanings of the words, and more to do with their sounds or letters. See if you can spot what's going on in questions 7, 11 and 12!
1. Bird is to ( wing fly beat )as fish is to ( cool swim eat )
2. Road is to ( car town concrete )as track is to ( train rails hill )
3. Send is to ( receive present gift )as give is to ( take tea pass )
4. Pen is to ( write blue ink )as pencil is to ( draw lead red )
5. Italy is to ( pizza Europe world )as China is to ( wall cup Asia )
6. Owl is to ( nest hoot mouse )as dog is to ( cat bath bark )
7. Ale is to ( beer drink ail )as flew is to ( fly bird flu )
8. Letter is to ( envelope postman stamp )as money is to ( buy spend purse )
9. Horseshoe is to ( love luck horse )as dove is to ( peace white fly )
10. Wedding is to ( marriage dress celebrate )as funeral is to ( sad death black )
11. Time is to ( clock emit minute )as spin is to ( nips turn lie )
12. Hone is to ( sharp house shone )as harp is to ( apple pie sharp )
13. Fantasise is to ( magic imagine real )as slumber is to ( party snooze pyjama )
14. Block is to ( brick clog clock )as cope is to ( manage free help )
15. August is to ( November July September )as March is to ( May December June )
16. Kid is to ( child duck goat )as calf is to ( leg boy elephant )

Non-Verbal Reasoning: Order and Position
In NVR exercises, it’s really important to look at where shapes are positioned in relation to other shapes. Is one shape always next to another? Are the shapes in a figure always in the same order?
Have a go at the exercises below to start practising this.
1. If all of the shapes in the figures below moved one space clockwise, which shape would be top left?
2. Which shape is twoplaces anticlockwisefrom the square?
3. Which shape is threeplaces clockwise fromthe circle?
4. Which shape is twoplaces clockwise fromthe star?
5. Which shape is threespaces anticlockwisefrom the triangle?
Now have a go at these…
6. If the colours of the shapes below moved two spaces anticlockwise, which colour would be bottomright?

AREA is a way of measuring how large a surface is. It is measured in millimetres / centimetres / metres / kilometres squared. These units are written as mm², cm², m² and km².
Calculating the area of a square or rectangle is easy. You just have to multiply the length by the width.
area of rectangle = length x width
9m
3m
The length of a shape is normally the longest side... 9m here.
The width is normally the shortest side... 3m here.
The area must therefore be...
9m x 3m
27m²
So what happens if we don't have a rectangle? Sometimes we will be given odd-looking shapes, but we can still find the area!
Look at the shape below... Can you see what we've done?
We can split these odd shapes into rectangles and squares... Once we've done this, the area is easy to work out.
REMEMBER – make sure you add the two areas together to find the final answer.
3cm
7cm
4cm
12cm
3cm
3 x 4 = 12cm²
12 x 3 = 36cm²
So the answer is 36cm² + 12cm²= 48cm²

Finding the area of a triangle is a little bit trickier...
For a triangle, we must multiply the length by the height AND then divide our answer by two. The formula looks like this:
(length x height) ÷ 2
Have a look at the example to the right:
The length of the triangle is 12cm.The height of the triangle is 6cm.
What is the triangle's area?
12cm
6cm
First, we must multiply the length by the height. For this triangle that would be...
12cm x 6cm = 72cm²
Now we have to take our answer and divide it by two...
72cm² ÷ 2 = 36cm²
So the area of our triangle is 36cm²
Now have a go at these...
11mm
8mm

The PERIMETER of a shape is the distance all the way around the edge.
To calculate the perimeter, you just add up the lengths of all the sides.
To find missing lengths, use horizontal lines to help find a missing horizontal side, and vertical lines to help find a missing vertical side.
11cm
7cm
12cm
?
?6cm
4cm
12cm
Perimeter = 4 + 4 + 12 + 12Perimeter = 32cm
In this shape, you can see that we have to work out the lengths of the two missing sides before we can calculate the perimeter.
To work out the side with the darker grey question mark, we must use the other vertical sides, and to work out the lighter one, we must use the horizontal sides.
= 12cm - 6cm = 6cm
= 11cm - 7cm = 4cm
Perimeter
REMEMBER: the opposite sides of a rectangle are ALWAYS the same (even if they're not written down).
What are the perimeters of the following shapes?
Perimeter = __________
Perimeter = __________
Perimeter = __________
5cm

12mm

Now have a look at the next shape.
Now try to work out the perimeter of the above shape. Don't forget to work out any missing sides first.
