1. Geometric & Spatial Reasoning · Examine properties of polygons and rectangular prisms, classify polygons by their properties, and discover volume of right rectangular prisms.

Estimating answers (age 10+): Find the volume of right rectangular prisms by packing with unit cubes and show it equals l × w × h (or base area × height); apply V = l × w × h and V = B × h to solve real-world problems; calculate, estimate, and compare volumes of cubes and cuboids in standard units (cm³, m³)
Volume as additive: Recognise volume as additive; find volumes of composite solid figures made of two or more non-overlapping right rectangular prisms
Classifying shapes by properties: Compare and classify geometric shapes based on their properties and sizes; understand that attributes belonging to a category also belong to all subcategories; classify two-dimensional figures in a hierarchy based on properties

Measurement Conversions: Solve problems involving the calculation and conversion of units of measure, using decimal notation and multi-step reasoning in real-world contexts
Real-World Mathematical Modelling: Model real-world problems involving ratio, scale, volume, unit conversion, and proportional reasoning with appropriate tools, diagrams, or equations

Plotting points in the first quadrant: Plot and read ordered pairs in the first quadrant of the coordinate plane; represent real-world and mathematical problems by graphing points and interpreting coordinate values in context
Number Pattern Relationships: Generate two numerical patterns using two given rules; identify relationships between corresponding terms; form ordered pairs and graph them on a coordinate plane

Brackets in Expressions: Use parentheses, brackets, or braces in numerical expressions and evaluate expressions containing these grouping symbols

Comparing Decimals: Compare two decimals to hundredths (or up to three decimal places) by reasoning about size using place-value understanding; record with >, =, <
Reading and writing numbers (age 10+): Read, write, and compare decimals to thousandths using base-ten numerals, number names, and expanded form; compare using >, =, < based on place-value meaning
Decimal place value: Round decimals to any place using place-value understanding; round any whole number to a required degree of accuracy
Rounding Answers: Solve problems which require answers to be rounded to specified degrees of accuracy
Reading Decimal Places: Identify the value of each digit in numbers given to three decimal places (e.g. in 4.378, the 7 represents 7 hundredths)

Dividing fractions (unit fractions): Interpret and compute division of a unit fraction by a non-zero whole number (e.g. 1/3 ÷ 4 = 1/12); use visual models and the relationship between multiplication and division to explain the result
Multiplication as scaling: Interpret multiplication as scaling (resizing): compare the size of a product to a factor based on the size of the other factor without computing; explain the effect of multiplying by fractions greater than, equal to, or less than 1
Real-world fraction multiplication: Solve real-world problems involving multiplication of fractions and mixed numbers, using visual fraction models or equations
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
Understanding fractions (age 9+): Construct and present logical mathematical arguments involving multiple steps; critique others' reasoning about fractions, angles, or calculations and clearly explain errors or alternative methods

Dividing by two-digit numbers: Divide numbers up to 4 digits by a two-digit number using formal written short division where appropriate, interpreting remainders according to context
Division with remainders (age 10+): Divide numbers up to 4 digits by a two-digit divisor using formal written long division, interpreting remainders as whole numbers, fractions, or by rounding as appropriate
Division with Decimals: Use written division methods in cases where the answer has up to two decimal places; divide decimals to hundredths by whole numbers
Long multiplication (age 10+): Fluently multiply multi-digit whole numbers (up to 4 digits by 2 digits) using the formal written method of long multiplication

Place Value × 10 Pattern: Recognise that in a multi-digit whole number, a digit in one place represents ten times what it represents in the place to its right (e.g. 700 ÷ 70 = 10)
Place Value × 10 and ÷ 10: Recognise that in a multi-digit number, a digit in one place represents 10 times as much as in the place to its right and 1/10 of what it represents in the place to its left
Patterns with Powers of Ten: Explain patterns in zeros when multiplying by powers of 10 and in decimal-point placement when multiplying/dividing by a power of 10; use whole-number exponents to denote powers of 10 (e.g. 10³ = 1000)
Decimal place value: Multiply one-digit numbers with up to two decimal places by whole numbers (e.g. 3.47 × 6)

Constructing mathematical arguments: Construct and present logical mathematical arguments involving multiple steps and formal reasoning; critique others' reasoning about fractions, algebra, ratio, or geometry and clearly explain errors or alternative approaches
