TopicDescription
Counting and OrderingUse negative numbers in context, and calculate intervals across zero.
Numbers and more/lessRead, write, order and compare numbers up to 10 000 000
Place value and decimalsRound any whole number to a required degree of accuracy.
Identify the value of each digit to 3 dp and multiply and divide numbers by 10, 100 and 1000 to 3dp.
Table and MultiplesIdentify common factors, common multiples and prime numbers.
Bonds, Facts and Special numbers
Calculations + and –Solve addition and subtraction multi-step problems in contexts, deciding which operations and methods to use and why.
Use knowledge of order of operations to carry out calculations
Calculations x and ÷Multiply multi-digit numbers up to 4 digits by a two-digit whole number using the formal written method.
Multiply one-digit numbers with up to two decimal places by whole numbers.
Divide numbers up to 4 digits by a two-digit number using the formal written method of short/long division, and interpret remainders as remainders, fractions, or rounding.
Fractions and percentagesUse common factors to simplify fractions; use common multiples to express fractions in the same denomination.
Compare and order fractions, including fractions >1.
Add and subtract fractions with different denominators and mixed numbers.
Multiply simple pairs of proper fractions, writing the answer in its simplest form.
Divide proper fractions by whole numbers.
Associate a fraction with division and calculate decimal fraction equivalents.
