Multiply and divide whole numbers by 10 or 100 (e.g. 9900 ÷ 10, 737 ÷ 10, 2060 ÷ 100).

 

Comparing and ordering numbers, perhaps using symbols such as < and >

 

Find any number that is between two other numbers

 

Put a set of whole numbers in order of size  - this might include negative numbers.

 

Use negative numbers on a number line or temperature scale.      

 

Round any whole number (up to 10000) to the nearest 10, 100 or 1000.

 

Continue number sequences like 1, 4, 7, 10, ... and explain the pattern (‘adding 3’)

 

Recognise odd and even numbers.

 

Recognise multiples of 6, 7, 8, 9.

 

Recognise square numbers (1x1=1, 2x2=4, 3x3=9, etc)

 

Find all the pairs of factors of any number up to 100.

 

Remember the fractions vocabulary numerator (top number) and denominator (bottom number).

 

Change an improper fraction to a mixed number (e.g. change 13/10 to 13/10).

 

Recognise when two simple fractions are equivalent, (e.g. 70/100 = 7/10).

 

Put a set of fractions such as 2, 23/4, 13/4, 21/2, 11/2, in order of size.

 

Find fractions of small quantities (e.g. ¾ of 12, 1/10 of 50, 1/100 of £3).

 

Know what each digit means in a decimal number with up to two decimal places.

 

Put a set of decimals in order of size.

 

Round a decimal numbers to the nearest whole number

 

Change fractions into decimals (e.g. ¾ = 0.75).

 

Find simple percentages of small quantities (e.g. 25% of £8).

 

Change fractions into percentages (e.g. ¾ = 75%).

 

 

Calculations

4

Find pairs of decimals that total 1 (e.g. 0.2 + 0.8) or 10 (e.g. 6.2 + 3.8);

 

Find pairs of two-digit numbers that total 100 (e.g. 43 + 57);

 

Find pairs of numbers with a total of 1000 (e.g. 350 + 650).

Understand that addition and subtraction are opposites.

 

Understand that multiplication and division are opposites.

 

Know by heart all times tables up to 10 ´ 10.

 

Double and halve numbers and use these skills to help with calculations (e.g. 3.5 x 6  = 7 x 3 = 21)

 

Do multiplication calculations like 34 x 8,  243 x 6, 45 x 72,  43 x 3.6  and  283 x 7.3  on paper.

Explain how to do a calculation in writing.

 

Spot and explain patterns in numbers and shapes.

 

Solve real-life problems involving money, measurements and time using simple calculations.

 

 

 

Shape, space and measures

4

Use, read and write standard metric units (km, m, cm, mm, kg, g, l, ml), including their abbreviations.

 

Convert larger to smaller units (e.g. km to m, m to cm or mm, kg to g, l to ml).
