1. NUMBER AND ALGEBRA · FRACTIONS
- 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
2. NUMBER AND ALGEBRA · RATIO
- Ratio Notation: Use ratio notation to describe the relationship between two or more quantities, simplify ratios to their simplest form, and convert between ratio and fraction representations
- Dividing Quantities by Ratio: Divide a given quantity into two parts in a given part:part or part:whole ratio, and express the division as a fraction of the whole
- Ratio Problems: Solve problems involving the relative sizes of two quantities where missing values can be found by using integer multiplication and division facts
3. MEASUREMENT AND GEOMETRY · AREA AND VOLUME
- Measuring length (age 10+): Recognise volume as an attribute of solid figures; understand that a unit cube (side length 1 unit) has 'one cubic unit' of volume and can be used to measure volume; a solid packed with n unit cubes has volume n cubic units
- 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)
