0 of 31 concepts ready to learn · Markdown, for your AI

1. Statistics and Probability · Statistics

  1. Comparing groups: more or fewer: Compare two groups of objects to determine which has more, fewer, or whether they are equal, using matching and counting strategies
  2. Pictograms and tally charts: Interpret and construct simple pictograms, tally charts, block diagrams, and simple tables
  3. Sorting into categories (age 6+): Interpret categorical data by asking and answering questions about totals, how many in each category, and how many more or less one category has than another

2. Geometry and Measure · Position and transformation

  1. Position, direction, and movement: Use mathematical vocabulary to describe position, direction, and movement, including straight lines and distinguishing rotation as a turn in terms of right angles (quarter, half, three-quarter turns, clockwise and anti-clockwise)

3. Geometry and Measure · Geometrical reasoning, shapes and measurements

  1. Measurable Attributes of Objects: Describe and identify measurable attributes of objects such as length, height, weight, and capacity; use comparative language (longer, shorter, heavier, lighter, more, less)
  2. Choosing measurement units: Choose and use appropriate standard units to measure length (m/cm), mass (kg/g), temperature (°C), and capacity (litres/ml) to the nearest appropriate unit
  3. Patterns & Sequences: Order and arrange combinations of mathematical objects in patterns and sequences
  4. 2-D shapes: Recognise and name common 2-D shapes (circles, triangles, rectangles including squares)
  5. 3-D shapes (age 5+): Analyse and compare 2-D and 3-D shapes using informal language to describe sides, vertices, and other attributes
  6. Edges, vertices, and faces: Identify and describe properties of 3-D shapes including the number of edges, vertices, and faces
  7. Sorting 2-D and 3-D shapes: Compare and sort common 2-D and 3-D shapes and everyday objects by their properties
  8. Comparing Capacity: Compare and describe capacity and volume using language such as full, empty, more than, less than, half full
  9. Comparing Lengths & Heights: Compare two objects directly by length or height and describe the difference using language such as long, short, tall, longer, shorter, taller, double, half

4. Geometry and Measure · Time

  1. Telling Time: Hours and Half Hours: Tell the time to the hour and half past the hour, and draw clock hands to show these times
  2. Days, Weeks, Months & Years: Recognise and use language relating to dates, including days of the week, weeks, months, and years
  3. Comparing durations: Use comparative language for time: quicker, slower, earlier, later

5. Number · Fractions, decimals, percentages, ratio and proportion

  1. What Is a Half?: Recognise, find, and name a half as one of two equal parts of an object, shape, or quantity
  2. Fraction Notation: Read, write, and use fraction notation correctly — fraction, numerator, denominator, unit fraction, non-unit fraction, proper fraction, improper fraction, mixed number, equivalent fraction, simplest form — and understand what each term describes, including the roles of the numerator and denominator in expressing parts of a whole
  3. Fractions of amounts: Recognise, find, name, and write fractions 1/3, 1/4, 2/4, and 3/4 of a length, shape, set of objects, or quantity
  4. Understanding fractions: Write simple fractions (e.g. 1/2 of 6 = 3) and recognise the equivalence of 2/4 and 1/2

6. Number · Place value, ordering and rounding

  1. Comparing and ordering numbers: Compare and order two-digit numbers using the symbols >, =, and <, based on place value understanding
  2. Numbers up to 10 into pairs: Decompose numbers up to 10 into pairs in more than one way (part-part-whole)

7. Number · Money

  1. Coin Values: Recognise and know the value of different coins and notes

8. Number · Integers and powers

  1. Counting in 2s: Count in multiples of 2, 5, and 10 (skip counting)
  2. Adding and subtracting: Add and subtract one-digit and two-digit numbers to 20, including zero
  3. Number bonds to 9: Find the number that makes 10 when added to a given number from 1 to 9 (number bonds to 10)
  4. Subtraction as taking away or separating: Understand subtraction as taking away or separating from a group to find how many remain
  5. Addition as combining or putting together two: Understand addition as combining or putting together two groups to find the total
  6. Reading and writing numbers to 100: Read and write numerals from 0 to 100

9. Number · Counting and Sequence

  1. Odd and even numbers: Recognise odd and even numbers
  2. Counting objects to 20: Count a set of objects to answer 'how many?' for sets up to 20 (arranged in lines, arrays, circles, or scattered)
