How to use this book This Maths and English Study and Practice book contains everything children need for the school year in one book. A study page and a practice page for each topic.
Reading – Word reading
1. Write the root word for the word underlined in each sentence.
• Know what a root word is • Recognise how some words are related in word families
‘Remember’ boxes highlight key points
Questions split into three levels of difficulty – Challenge 1, Challenge 2 and Challenge 3 – to help progression.
Challenge 1
Root words and word families
a) Everyone was unhappy with the food. b) Stan was impolite when he pushed in the line.
Root words
c) The cat had unwrapped itself from the string.
A root word is the basic form of a word.
Example Take the word appear
root word
A prefix and/or suffix can be added to make different words:
Key words highlighted on each Study page with definitions in the glossary.
disappear
appeared
d) They were busy reheating the food.
Remember
Prefixes and suffixes can be added to the root word to change the meaning, but only the root word has a meaning on its own.
4 marks
Look out for prefixes and suffixes when reading, and think about how they are used to change the word meaning.
Challenge 2 1. Write each word in the correct sentence. sensible

Word families
1. Sort the following words into three different word families.
Word families can have a common root word.

Examples • sense
emotion
elephant sensible
sensitive
insensitive
phonics
uneventful
eventful
alphabet
emotionally motioning
Total marks boxes for recording progress and ‘How am I doing’ checks for self-evaluation.
Word family 1:
All these words have ‘sense’ as a common root word. • act
actress
actor
action
All these words have ‘act’ as a common root word.
Tips give ideas on how to remember key information.
Word families can also have a common spelling pattern. If you know how to read one of the words, it is most often the case that other words with the same pattern will sound the same. Example touch
Tip Care is needed with spelling patterns – sometimes the same letters can make a different sound.

Reading – Word reading
Prefixes • Apply knowledge of prefixes to understand the meaning of words
Opposite meanings Some familiar words can be changed by adding a prefix, which gives the opposite meaning. Example un-
happy
unhappy (means not happy)
dis-
agree
disagree (means not agree)
mis-
understand
misunderstand (means not understand)
im-
possible
impossible (means not possible)
il-
legal
illegal (means not legal)
ir-
responsible
irresponsible (means not responsible)
in-
active
inactive (means not active)
Remember The prefixes un-, dis-, mis-, in- and im- are used to change a word to its opposite meaning.
Tip Make sure you know the meaning of the root word first.
Care is needed with words beginning with in- because occasionally it does not give an opposite meaning. For example, the words include and involve can both mean ‘in’: • include (in with something else) • involve (in an activity or situation).

Number – Fractions
Recognising fractions and equivalent fractions • Recognise fractions (unit and non-unit fractions) • Compare and order fractions with the same denominators • Recognise and show equivalent fractions
Recognising fractions
how many parts there are
A fraction is part of a whole that has been divided into equal pieces. A fraction is made up of two parts: numerator and denominator.
Numerator Denominator
Example
how many parts the whole has been divided into
Look at this bar: The whole bar has been divided into 5 equal pieces. So the bottom number of the fraction (denominator) is 5. The top number can show how many pieces of the bar have been shaded (grey) or not shaded (white). So the top number of the fraction (numerator) could be ... 2 5
3 5
or
2 shows that two pieces of the bar are shaded (grey)
Tip
3 shows that three pieces of the bar are not shaded (white)
Comparing and ordering fractions
A unit fraction has a numerator of 1. A non-unit fraction has a numerator of 2 or more.
When comparing fractions with the same denominator, we only need to look at the numerator. So, we can say 25 is smaller than 35 . <
Equivalent fractions 1 2
2 4
4 8
Each circle above has been divided into a different number of equal parts. The first circle has 12 shaded. The second circle has 24 shaded. The third circle has 48 shaded. But, all three circles have the same amount shaded, so we can call them equivalent (=). 12 = 24 = 48
