1. NUMBER AND ALGEBRA · WHOLE NUMBERS

Algebraic Notation: Use and interpret algebraic notation including: ab for a × b, 3y for y + y + y, a² for a × a, a/b for a ÷ b, coefficients as fractions, and brackets for grouping; read and write algebraic expressions fluently
Multiplying and dividing: Multiply and divide whole numbers and those involving decimals by 10, 100, and 1000

Decimals and fractions (age 10+): Associate a fraction with division and calculate decimal fraction equivalents for simple fractions (e.g. 3/8 = 0.375); recall and use equivalences between simple fractions, decimals, and percentages in different contexts
Mixed numbers and improper fractions: Recognise mixed numbers and improper fractions; convert from one form to the other (e.g. 2/5 + 4/5 = 6/5 = 1 1/5)
Adding and subtracting mixed numbers: Add and subtract mixed numbers with like denominators, including by converting to improper fractions or using properties of operations

Calculating Percentages: Solve problems involving the calculation of percentages of amounts (e.g. 15% of 360) and the use of percentages for comparison
Percentages (age 12+): Solve problems involving percentage increase, percentage decrease, finding the original value after a percentage change, and calculating simple interest

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
Understanding angles (age 10+): Recognise angles where they meet at a point, are on a straight line, or are vertically opposite; find missing angles using these properties
