Reading and writing numbers to 1000
Number Representation & Place Value
Read and write numbers to 1000 in numerals, number names, and expanded form
Right Angles & Turns
Geometry
Identify right angles; recognise that two right angles make a half-turn, three make three-quarters, and four make a complete turn
Rows & Columns in Rectangles
Multiplication & Division
Partition a rectangle into rows and columns of same-size squares and count to find the total number of them
Shape patterns (age 7+)
Mathematical Thinking
Look for and use mathematical structure: apply place-value patterns to three-digit operations, use multiplication/division relationships, and exploit shape properties to classify
Simple Fraction Sums
Fractions
Add and subtract fractions with the same denominator within one whole (e.g. 5/7 + 1/7 = 6/7)
Skip Counting (4s, 8s, 50s, 100s)
Counting & Cardinality
Count from 0 in multiples of 4, 8, 50, and 100
Splitting shapes into equal parts (age 7+)
Fractions
Partition circles and rectangles into two, three, or four equal shares; describe shares as halves, thirds, and fourths; recognise that equal shares of identical wholes need not have the same shape
Telling time to the minute (age 7+)
Measurement
Tell and write time from analogue and digital clocks to the nearest five minutes, using a.m., p.m., and 12-hour and 24-hour notation
Tenths
Fractions
Count up and down in tenths; recognise that tenths arise from dividing an object into 10 equal parts and from dividing one-digit numbers or quantities by 10
The multiples of 100
Number Representation & Place Value
Understand that the multiples of 100 (100–900) each represent a number of hundreds with 0 tens and 0 ones
The three digits of a three-digit number
Number Representation & Place Value
Understand that the three digits of a three-digit number represent amounts of hundreds, tens, and ones
Time Units and Calendar Facts
Measurement
Know the number of seconds in a minute and the number of days in each month, year, and leap year
Times tables (age 7+)
Multiplication & Division
Recall and use multiplication and division facts for the 3, 4, and 8 multiplication tables
Two-Step Word Problems
Addition & Subtraction
Solve one- and two-step word problems within 100 using addition and subtraction, with unknowns in all positions
Understanding angles
Geometry
Recognise angles as a property of shape or a description of a turn
Understanding fractions
Mathematical Thinking
Move fluently between real-world situations, diagrams, and symbolic equations involving three-digit numbers and fractions, explaining what each part represents
Understanding fractions (age 7+)
Mathematical Thinking
Communicate with mathematical precision: use correct place-value and fraction vocabulary, specify units in measurement answers, and use notation accurately
Unit fractions
Fractions
Recognise, find, and write fractions of a discrete set of objects: unit fractions and non-unit fractions with small denominators
Working with money
Mathematical Thinking
Model real-world problems involving measurement, money, and time by choosing appropriate representations and interpreting results in context
Written Multiplication & Division
Multiplication & Division
Write and calculate mathematical statements for multiplication and division using known tables, including two-digit × one-digit, using mental and progressing to formal written methods
1000 More or Less
Number Representation & Place Value
Find 1000 more or less than a given number
12-hour and 24-hour time
Measurement
Read, write, and convert time between analogue and digital 12-hour and 24-hour clocks
2-D shapes (age 8+)
Geometry
Identify lines of symmetry in 2-D shapes presented in different orientations; recognise line-symmetric figures and draw lines of symmetry
Adding and subtracting (age 8+)
Addition & Subtraction
Add and subtract numbers with up to four digits using formal written methods of columnar addition and subtraction
