The key stage in brackets is a rough guide for when this vocabulary is introduced. Within classrooms, key vocabulary is displayed on Maths Working Walls at appropriate times during the year and the use of this vocabulary is promoted through mathematical talk and reasoning opportunities in lessons.  \n\n| Vocabulary | Definition |\n| --- | --- |\n| 2D (KS1) | 2-dimensional – the shape lies on a plane (it is flat) . |\n| 3D (KS1) | 3-dimensional – the shape occupies space (it is not flat) ./ |\n| Acute angle (KS2) | An angle between 0o and 90o. |\n| Addition (KS1) | The process of calculating the total of two or more numbers or amounts. The result of the addition is called the sum or total. The operation is denoted by the + sign. |\n| Algebra (KS2) | Letters are used to denote variables and unknown numbers. For example, 5 + a = 8 where a = 3. |\n| Analogue clock (KS1) | A clock usually with 12 equal divisions to show the hours. Each of these divisions is subdivided into 5 equal parts, creating 60 minor divisions to represent minutes. The clock has two hands (minute and hour) that rotate about the centre. |\n\n\n| Angle (KS1) | An angle is a measure of rotation between two intersecting lines of surfaces. Angles are measured in degrees (o ) . |\n| --- | --- |\n| Angle at a point (KS2) | The complete angle all the way around a point is 360o. |\n| Angle on a straight line (KS2) | The sum of the angles at a point on a line is 180o. |\n| Anticlockwise (KS1) | In the opposite direction from the normal direction of travel of the hands of an analogue clock. |\n| Approximation (KS2) | A number or result that is not exact but it is sufficiently close to the actual number for it tobe useful. When two values are approximately equal, the sign ≈ is used. |\n| Area (KS2) | A measure of the size of any plane surface (the inside of a shape) . Area is usually measured in [square units e.g. cm](square units e.g. cm2 or m2)[2](square units e.g. cm2 or m2)[ or m](square units e.g. cm2 or m2)[2](square units e.g. cm2 or m2) . |\n| Array (KS1) | An ordered collection of counters, [numbers etc. in](numbers etc. in) rows or columns. |\n| Associative (KS1) | Numbers can be added or multiplied in any order and the answer will be the same.\u003Cbr>E.g. a + (b + c) = (a + b) + c and a x (b x c) = (a x b) x c\u003Cbr>Subtraction and division are not associative as the order that they are completed in matters. |\n| Average (KS2) | A number expressing the central or typical value in a set of data. This links to the mode, median or mean. |\n\n\n| Axis (KS2) | A fixed, reference line on a graph along which or from distances or angles are taken. |\n| --- | --- |\n| Bar chart (KS1) | A way of representing statistical information. Bars are used to represent different frequencies. The bars can be vertical or horizontal. This is also sometimes called a bar graph. |\n| Brackets (KS2) | Symbols used to group numbers in arithmetic or letters and numbers in algebra. The brackets show that the operations within it have priority and should be completed first. |\n| Capacity (KS1) | The volume of a material (typically liquid or air) help in a vessel or container. Units for capacity can include litres (l), millilitres (ml), cubic centimetres (cm3 ) and cubic metres (m3 ) . |\n| Carroll diagram (KS1) | A sorting diagram in which numbers or objects are classified as having a certain property or not having that property. |\n| Centi- (KS1) | Prefix meaning one-hundredth (of) . |\n| Centilitre (KS2) | A unit of capacity or volume that is equivalent to one-hundredth of a litre. The symbol for centilitre is cl. |\n| Centimetre (KS1) | A unit of measure that is equivalent to one-hundredth of a metre. The symbol for centimetre is cm. |\n| Centre (KS2) | The middle point of a line or a circle. |\n| Chart (KS1) | Another word for a table or graph. |\n| Circle (KS1) | A 2D s","cbCailPxePKbpO19","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailPxePKbpO19","pdf",252704,17,"English","# Mathematics vocabulary\n## Number, operations and relationships\n## Geometry and measures\n## Shapes and properties\n## Data and charts","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of this Mathematics Vocabulary List?\",\"answer\":\"It provides KS1 and KS2 maths vocabulary with definitions linked to the new National Curriculum and suggested introduction points by key stage.\"},{\"question\":\"How are these vocabulary words used in classrooms?\",\"answer\":\"They are displayed on Maths Working Walls at appropriate times and supported through mathematical talk and reasoning during lessons.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the document indicate whether a term belongs to KS1 or KS2?\",\"answer\":\"Each vocabulary entry includes a bracketed key stage, such as (KS1) or (KS2), acting as a rough guide for when it is introduced.\"}]","Mathematics Vocabulary List | PDF",1790884376,43]
