Estimating Lengths
Measurement
Estimate lengths using units of inches, feet, centimetres, and metres
Extending Table Patterns
Mathematical Thinking
Recognise and use repeated reasoning to generalise: extend multiplication table patterns, derive unknown facts from known ones, and describe rules for sequences
Fluent adding and subtracting within 100
Addition & Subtraction
Fluently add and subtract within 100 using strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and the relationship between addition and subtraction
Fluent adding and subtracting within 20
Addition & Subtraction
Fluently add and subtract within 20 using mental strategies; know from memory all sums of two one-digit numbers
Fractions on a number line
Fractions
Recognise and use fractions as numbers: place unit fractions and non-unit fractions with small denominators on a number line
Giving Change
Measurement
Add and subtract amounts of money to give change, using both £ and p in practical contexts
Halves and quarters (age 7+)
Measurement
Solve word problems involving dollar bills, quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies, using $ and ¢ symbols appropriately
Justifying mathematical reasoning
Mathematical Thinking
Construct and follow multi-step mathematical arguments; identify errors in reasoning and explain why a method works or does not work
Measuring & Plotting Lengths
Measurement
Generate measurement data by measuring lengths to the nearest whole unit and display the data on a line plot
Measuring length (age 7+)
Measurement
Measure the length of an object by selecting and using appropriate tools such as rulers, yardsticks, metre sticks, and measuring tapes
Measuring Perimeters
Measurement
Measure the perimeter of simple 2-D shapes
Measuring with different units
Measurement
Measure the length of an object using two different length units and describe how the measurements relate to the size of the unit chosen
Mental addition and subtraction (age 7+)
Addition & Subtraction
Mentally add and subtract a three-digit number and ones
Mentally adding hundreds to 3-digit numbers
Addition & Subtraction
Mentally add and subtract a three-digit number and hundreds
Mentally adding tens to 3-digit numbers
Addition & Subtraction
Mentally add and subtract a three-digit number and tens
Missing number problems (age 7+)
Addition & Subtraction
Solve addition and subtraction problems including missing-number problems, using number facts, place value, and more complex methods
Multi-Step Multiply & Divide
Multiplication & Division
Solve problems involving multiplication and division, including scaling problems and correspondence problems where n objects are connected to m objects
Multi-Step Problem Solving
Mathematical Thinking
With teacher support, make sense of multi-step problems involving larger numbers or mixed operations by breaking them into parts, choosing strategies, and checking answers for reasonableness — children at this stage are developing the habit with guidance; independent strategy evaluation comes later
Numbers on a number line
Addition & Subtraction
Represent whole numbers as lengths on a number line and represent sums and differences within 100 on a number line diagram
Odd or Even
Number Representation & Place Value
Determine whether a group of objects (up to 20) has an odd or even number of members
Ordering Numbers to 1000
Number Representation & Place Value
Compare and order numbers up to 1000 using >, =, and < symbols, based on place-value understanding
Parallel and perpendicular lines
Geometry
Identify horizontal and vertical lines and pairs of perpendicular and parallel lines
Picture & Bar Graphs
Data & Statistics
Draw a picture graph and a bar graph (with single-unit scale) to represent a data set with up to four categories; solve put-together, take-apart, and compare problems using information presented in a bar graph
Place Value to 1000
Number Representation & Place Value
Solve number problems and practical problems involving place value of numbers up to 1000
