Number & Place Value

count in multiples of 6 ,7, 9, 25 and 1000

find 1000 more or less than a given number

count backwards through zero to include negative numbers

recognise the place value of each digit in a four-digit number (thousands, hundreds, tens and ones)

order and compare numbers beyond 1000

identify, represent and estimate numbers using different representations including measures

round any number to the nearest 10, 100 or 1000

solve number and practical problems that involve all of the above and with increasingly large positive numbers

read roman numerals to 100 (I-C) and know that over time, the numerical system changed to include the concept of zero and place value

Addition & Subtraction

add numbers with up to four digits using the formal method of columnar addition

subtract numbers with up to four digits using the formal method of columnar subtraction

estimate and use inverse operations to check answers to a calculation

solve addition and subtraction two step problems in contexts deciding which operations and methods to use and why

Multiplication & Division

recall multiplication and division facts for multiplication tables up to 12 x 12

use place value, known and derived facts to multiply and divide mentally, including: multiplying by 0 and 1; dividing by 1; multiplying together three numbers

recognise and use factor pairs and commutativity in mental calculations

multiply two digit and three digit numbers by a one-digit number using formal written layout

solve problems involving multiplying and adding, including using the distributive law to multiply two digit numbers by one digit. integer scaling problems and harder correspondence problems such as n objects are connected to m objects

Fractions (including decimals)

recognise and show, using diagrams, families of common equivalent fractions

count up and down in hundredths; recognise that hundredths arise when dividing an object by one hundred and dividing tenths by ten

solve problems involving increasingly harder fractions to calculate quantities, and fractions to divide quantities, including non - unit fractions where the answer is a whole number

add and subtract fractions with the same denominator

recognise and write decimal equivalents of any number of tenths and hundredths

recognise and write decimal equivalents to ¼, ½ and ¾.

find the effect of dividing a one– or two–digit number by 10 and 100, identifying the value of the digits in the answer as ones, tenths and hundredths round decimals with one decimal place to the nearest whole number

compare numbers with the same number of decimal places up to two decimal places

Measurement

convert between different units of measure e.g. kilometre to metre; hour to minute

measure and calculate the perimeter of a rectilinear figure (including squares) in centimetres and metres

find the area of rectilinear shapes by counting squares

estimate, compare and calculate different measure, including money in pounds and pence

read, write and convert time between analogue and digital 12-24- hour clocks

solve problems involving converting from hours to minutes; minutes to seconds; years to months; weeks to days

Properties of Shape

compare and classify geometric shapes, including quadrilaterals and triangles, based on their properties and sizes

identify acute and obtuse angles and compare and order angles up to two right angles by size

identify lines of symmetry in 2 -D shapes presented in different orientations

complete a simple symmetric figure with respect to a specific line of symmetry

begin to recognise where angles are greater that two right angles and know the term straight angle referring to two right angles together

begin exploring line symmetry with two lines of symmetry

Position & Direction

describe positions on a 2 - D grid as coordinates in the first quadrant

describe movements between positions and translations of a given unit to the left/right and up/down

plot specified points and draw sides to complete a given polygon

Statistics

interpret and present discrete and continuous data using appropriate graphical methods, including bar charts and time graphs

solve comparison, sum and difference problems using information presented in bar graphs, pictograms, tables and other graphs
