Mathematics.

Using and applying maths

• Solve one- and two-step problems involving whole numbers and decimals and all four operations, choosing and using appropriate calculation strategies, including calculator use

• Represent a problem by identifying and recording the calculations needed to solve it; find possible solutions and confirm them in the context of the problem

• Plan and pursue an enquiry; present evidence by collecting, organising and interpreting information; suggest extensions to the enquiry

• Explore patterns, properties and relationships and propose a general statement involving numbers or shapes; identify examples for which the statement is true or false

• Explain reasoning using diagrams, graphs and text; refine ways of recording using images and symbols

Counting and understanding number.

• Count from any given number in whole number and decimal steps, extending beyond zero when counting backwards; relate the numbers to their position on a number line

• Explain what each digit represents in whole numbers and decimals with up to two places, and partition, round and order these numbers

• Express a smaller whole number as a fraction of a larger one, e.g. recognise that 5 out of 8 is ⁵¤₈; find equivalent fractions, e.g. ⁷¤₁₀ = ¹⁴¤₂₀, or ¹⁹¤₁₀ = 1⁹¤₁₀; relate fractions to their decimal representations

• Understand percentage as the number of parts in every 100 and express tenths and hundredths as percentages

• Use sequences to scale numbers up or down; solve problems involving proportions of quantities, e.g. decrease quantities in a recipe designed to feed six people

Knowing and using number facts.

• Use knowledge of place value and addition and subtraction of two-digit numbers to derive sums and differences, doubles and halves of decimals, e.g. 6.5 ± 2.7, halve 5.6, double 0.34

• Recall quickly multiplication facts up to 10 × 10, use to multiply pairs of multiples of 10 and 100 and derive quickly corresponding division facts

• Identify pairs of factors of two-digit whole numbers and find common multiples, e.g. for 6 and 9

• Use knowledge of rounding, place value, number facts and inverse operations to estimate and check calculations

Calculating.

• Extend mental methods for whole-number calculations, e.g. to multiply a two-digit by one-digit number (e.g. 12 × 9), to multiply by 25 (e.g. 16 × 25), to subtract one near multiple of 1000 from another (e.g. 6070 - 4097)

• Use efficient written methods to add and subtract whole numbers and decimals with up to two places

• Use understanding of place value to multiply and divide whole numbers and decimals by 10, 100 or 1000

• Refine and use efficient written methods to multiply and divide HTU × U, TU × TU, U.t × U, and HTU ÷ U

• Find fractions using division, e.g. ¹¤₁₀₀ of 5 kg, and percentages of numbers and quantities, e.g. 10%, 5% and 15% of £80

• Use a calculator to solve problems, including those involving decimals or fractions, e.g. to find ³¤₄ of 150 g; interpret the display correctly in the context of measurement

Understanding shape.

• Identify, visualise and describe properties of rectangles, triangles, regular polygons and 3-D solids; use knowledge of properties to draw 2-D shapes and identify and draw nets of 3-D shapes

• Read and plot co-ordinates in the first quadrant; recognise parallel and perpendicular lines in grids and shapes; use a set-square and ruler to draw shapes with perpendicular or parallel sides

• Complete patterns with up to two lines of symmetry and draw the position of a shape after a reflection or translation

• Estimate, draw and measure acute and obtuse angles using an angle measurer or protractor to a suitable degree of accuracy; calculate angles in a straight line

Measuring

• Read, choose, use and record standard metric units to estimate and measure length, weight and capacity to a suitable degree of accuracy, e.g. the nearest centimetre; convert larger to smaller units using decimals to one place, e.g. change 2.6 kg to 2600 g

• Interpret a reading that lies between two unnumbered divisions on a scale

• Draw and measure lines to the nearest millimetre; measure and calculate the perimeter of regular and irregular polygons; use the formula for the area of a rectangle to calculate its area

• Read timetables and time using 24-hour clock notation; use a calendar to calculate time intervals

Handling data

• Describe the occurrence of familiar events using the language of chance or likelihood

• Answer a set of related questions by collecting, selecting and organising relevant data; draw conclusions, using ICT to present features, and identify further questions to ask

• Construct frequency tables, pictograms and bar and line graphs to represent the frequencies of events and changes over time

• Find and interpret the mode of a set of data.
