0 of 20 concepts ready to learn · Markdown, for your AI

1. Algebra · Patterns, rules and relationships

  1. Patterns & Sequences: Order and arrange combinations of mathematical objects in patterns and sequences

2. Algebra · Expressions and equations

  1. Reading +, −, and = symbols: Read, write, and interpret the symbols +, −, and = in number sentences

3. Measures · Measuring

  1. 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
  2. Calculating with measurements: Measure, compare, add, and subtract lengths (m/cm/mm), mass (kg/g), and volume/capacity (l/ml) using standard units
  3. Comparing lengths by measuring: Measure to determine how much longer one object is than another, expressing the length difference in terms of a standard length unit

4. Measures · Time

  1. Telling Time: Minutes: Tell and write the time to five minutes, including quarter past and quarter to, and draw clock hands to show these times
  2. Comparing Time Durations: Compare durations of events and calculate the time taken by particular events or tasks

5. Measures · Money

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

6. Number · Numeration and counting

  1. Adding numbers: Add up to four two-digit numbers using strategies based on place value and properties of operations

7. Number · Place value and base ten

  1. Place value of each digit: Recognise the place value of each digit in a four-digit number (thousands, hundreds, tens, and ones)
  2. 10 or 100 More or Less: Find 10 or 100 more or less than a given number up to 1000
  3. Numbers to 10,000: Identify, represent, and estimate numbers up to 10,000 using different representations

8. Number · Sets and operations

  1. Addition and subtraction strategies: Use counting on and counting back as strategies for addition and subtraction

9. Number · Fractions

  1. 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
  2. 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
  3. Equivalent fractions: Recognise and show, using diagrams, equivalent fractions with small denominators

10. Shape and Space · Spatial awareness and location

  1. Positional Language: Describe the position of objects using terms such as above, below, beside, in front of, behind, next to
  2. 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)

11. Shape and Space · Shape

  1. 2-D shapes: Recognise and name common 2-D shapes (circles, triangles, rectangles including squares)

12. Shape and Space · Transformation

  1. Transformations on a grid: Represent and carry out geometric transformations on squared paper or a coordinate grid: reflections (in horizontal, vertical, and diagonal mirror lines, including the axes), translations (described as a vector or as left/right/up/down moves), and rotations (90° or 180° about a stated centre point); describe each transformation precisely using the correct language; identify which transformation maps one shape onto its image by comparing position, orientation, and size
