Topics

Objectives Count on or back in thousands, hundreds, tens and ones to add or subtract. Add or subtract near multiples of 10 or 100, e.g. 4387 299. Add/subtract a near multiple of 10, 100 or 1000, or a near whole unit of money, and adjust, e.g. 3127 + 4998; 5678 1996. Use appropriate strategies to add or subtract pairs of three-digit numbers. Calculate differences between near multiples of 1000, e.g. 5026 4998.

Mental Skills

Double multiples of 10 to 1000 e.g. double 360, and derive the corresponding halves. Double multiples of 100 to 10 000, e.g. double 3600, and derive the corresponding halves. Derive quickly doubles of multiples of 100 to 5000, and corresponding halves. Multiply multiples of 10 to 90, and multiples of 100 to 900, by a single-digit number. Use factors to multiply, e.g. multiply by 3, then double to multiply by 6. Find half of odd and even numbers to 40, using notation such as 13 1/2. Recognise simple mixed fractions, e.g. 1 1/2 and 2 1/4, 5 3/4. Order simple or mixed fractions on a number line, e.g. using the knowledge that 1/2 comes halfway between 1/4 and 3/4, and that 1 1/2 comes halfway between 1 and 2.

Fractions

4B

Count on and back in fractions, e.g. 1/3 s. Change an improper fraction to a mixed number, e.g. 7/4 to 1 3/4; 17/8 to 2 1/8; order mixed numbers and place between whole numbers on a number line. Start expressing remainders as a fraction of the divisor when dividing two-digit numbers by single-digit numbers. Give an answer to division as a mixed number (with divisors of 2, 4, 5, 10 or 100). Use decimal notation for tenths and understand what each digit represents. Understand the equivalence between one-place decimals and fractions in tenths. Use decimal notation and place value for tenths in context, e.g. introducing length, mass, capacity in decimal notation. Use decimal notation for hundredths and understand what each digit represents. Understand the equivalence between two-place decimals and fractions in hundredths.

11

Decimals

Use decimal notation and place value for tenths and hundredths in context, e.g. order amounts of money; convert a sum of money,introducing length in decimal notation; round a sum of money to the nearest dollar. Compare and order numbers with up to two decimal places (including different numbers of places) and compare using the > and < signs. Count on and back in decimals, e.g. 0.1s, and repeated steps of whole numbers. Round a number with up to two decimal places to the nearest tenth or to the nearest whole number. Understand that 1/2 is equivalent to 0.5 and also to 5/10. Recognise the equivalence between the decimal fraction and vulgar fraction forms of halves, quarters, tenths and hundredths.

Measurement

Choose and use standard metric units and their abbreviations (mm) when estimating, measuring and recording length. Know and use the relationships between familiar units of length mm and cm; recap the meaning of milli. Know and use the relationships between familiar units of mass g and kg. Know and use the relationships between familiar units of capacity ml and L. Interpret intervals/divisions on partially numbered scales and record readings accurately. Draw and measure lines to the nearest centimetre and millimetre. Use decimal notation and place value for tenths in length, weight, capacity context. Use decimal notation to record measurements, e.g. 1.3 mm, 1.3 kg.

13

Time

Add and subtract time given in hours and minutes. Calculate time intervals in minutes and hours. Find the area of rectilinear shapes drawn on a square grid by counting squares. Understand that area is measured in square units, e.g. sq-cm.

14

Area and Perimeter

Understand area measured in square centimetres and square metres. Draw rectangles, and measure and calculate their perimeters.

15

Handling Data

Answer a question by sorting and organising data or objects in Venn diagrams giving different criteria for grouping the same objects. Use Venn diagrams to sort numbers or objects using one, two or three criterion; explain choices using appropriate language, including not. Answer a set of related questions by collecting, selecting and organising relevant data; draw conclusions from their own and others data and identify further questions to ask. Know various appropriate strategies and heuristics to solve problems. Explore and solve number problems and puzzles, e.g. logic problems. Use ordered lists and tables to help to solve problems systematically.
