1. Data Analysis and Probability
- Pictograms and tally charts (age 6+): Read, write, and use the vocabulary of data collection and display — data, tally, tally chart, frequency, frequency table, survey, pictogram, bar chart, axis/axes, scale, label, category, discrete data, continuous data, line graph, pie chart — and apply these terms when collecting, organising, and presenting data
- Pictograms and tally charts: Interpret and construct simple pictograms, tally charts, block diagrams, and simple tables
2. Geometric Reasoning
- Perimeters of polygons: Solve problems involving perimeters of polygons: find perimeter from side lengths, find an unknown side length, and explore rectangles with same perimeter but different areas (or vice versa)
- Area by Tiling: Find the area of a rectangle by tiling it with unit squares and show that the result equals the product of the side lengths
- Understanding Area: Understand that a unit square has one square unit of area and that the area of a plane figure is the number of unit squares that cover it without gaps or overlaps
- 2-D shapes (age 8+): Identify lines of symmetry in 2-D shapes presented in different orientations; recognise line-symmetric figures and draw lines of symmetry
- Properties of triangles and quadrilaterals: Derive and illustrate properties of triangles, quadrilaterals, and circles using appropriate language, including interior angles, diagonals, symmetry, and relationships between side lengths
- Lines, Rays & Angles: Draw and identify points, lines, line segments, rays, angles (right, acute, obtuse), and perpendicular and parallel lines; identify these in two-dimensional figures
3. Fractions
- Equivalent fractions: Recognise and show, using diagrams, equivalent fractions with small denominators
- Comparing fractions: Compare and order unit fractions, and fractions with the same denominator
- Simple Fraction Sums: Add and subtract fractions with the same denominator within one whole (e.g. 5/7 + 1/7 = 6/7)
- Unit fractions: Recognise, find, and write fractions of a discrete set of objects: unit fractions and non-unit fractions with small denominators
- Fraction Addition Concepts: Understand addition and subtraction of fractions as joining and separating parts; decompose a fraction into a sum of fractions with the same denominator in more than one way
- Fractions of a whole: Understand a fraction 1/b as the quantity formed by 1 part when a whole is partitioned into b equal parts; understand a/b as a parts of size 1/b
4. Measurement
- Comparing Time Durations: Compare durations of events and calculate the time taken by particular events or tasks
- Telling time to the minute (age 7+): 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
- Telling time to the minute (age 8+): Tell and write time to the nearest minute using analogue and digital clocks
- Calculating with measurements: Measure, compare, add, and subtract lengths (m/cm/mm), mass (kg/g), and volume/capacity (l/ml) using standard units
- Measuring length (age 7+): Measure the length of an object by selecting and using appropriate tools such as rulers, yardsticks, metre sticks, and measuring tapes
- Measuring with different units: Measure the length of an object using two different length units and describe how the measurements relate to the size of the unit chosen
5. Algebraic Reasoning
- Extending Table Patterns: Recognise and use repeated reasoning to generalise: extend multiplication table patterns, derive unknown facts from known ones, and describe rules for sequences
- Odd or Even: Determine whether a group of objects (up to 20) has an odd or even number of members
- Division as Unknown Factor: Understand division as an unknown-factor problem (e.g. find 32 ÷ 8 by finding the number that makes 32 when multiplied by 8)
- Unknown in Multiplication & Division: Determine the unknown whole number in a multiplication or division equation relating three whole numbers (e.g. 8 × ? = 48, ? × 6 = 42)
- Justifying mathematical reasoning: Construct and follow multi-step mathematical arguments; identify errors in reasoning and explain why a method works or does not work
- Multi-Step Problem Solving: Make sense of multi-step problems involving four operations, fractions, and area/volume by identifying sub-steps, choosing a strategy, and monitoring progress
- Properties of Operations: Apply properties of operations (commutative, associative, distributive) as strategies to multiply and divide
6. Number Sense and Operations
- Multiplying and dividing: Multiply and divide whole numbers and those involving decimals by 10, 100, and 1000
- Multiplying by Tens: Multiply one-digit whole numbers by multiples of 10 in the range 10–90 using strategies based on place value and properties of operations
- Fluent adding and subtracting within 1000: Fluently add and subtract within 1000 using strategies and algorithms based on place value, properties of operations, and the relationship between addition and subtraction
- Place value of each digit: Recognise the place value of each digit in a four-digit number (thousands, hundreds, tens, and ones)
- Rounding to 10, 100, 1000: Round any number to the nearest 10, 100, or 1000
- Rounding Large Numbers: Round any whole number up to 1,000,000 to the nearest 10, 100, 1,000, 10,000, or 100,000 using place-value understanding
- Comparing Large Numbers: Order and compare numbers beyond 1000
- Reading and writing numbers to 1000: Read and write numbers to 1000 in numerals, number names, and expanded form
- Reading and writing numbers (age 9+): Read, write, order, and compare whole numbers up to at least 1,000,000 using base-ten numerals, number names, expanded form, and place-value understanding
