Syllabus by topic
Exploring number patterns and sequences, properties of whole numbers, finding factors and multiples, prime and composite numbers, and understanding negative numbers and zero on the number line.
Understanding equal parts, comparing and operating with fractions; organising data as pictographs and bar charts; computing perimeter and area of rectangles and other simple shapes.
Types and properties of lines and angles; constructing angles and shapes with a compass and ruler; identifying and drawing lines of symmetry in 2-D figures.
Practice runway
Pick one zone from the table above, solve two examples by hand, then attempt the matching prompt below — that order beats re-reading a chapter cold.
Step 1
Generate 10 questions on prime numbers, factors, and number patterns — include pattern-extension and Virahanka-sequence questions.
Step 2
Create Fractions and Data MCQs — include comparison, equivalent fractions, and bar graph reading.
Step 3
Ask for a geometry drill on angle types, line relationships, and symmetry with diagram-based questions.
