Autumn Year 4 Baseline Maths Assessment

Year 4 Baseline Maths Assessment

Baseline Maths Assessment Year 4 resources assess children on the Year 3 objectives to help teachers identify gaps in prior knowledge at the start of the year. The assessment has a question for each objective and a tracker sheet to help analyse children's results.

Year 3 National Curriculum Objectives:

Number – number and place value

• (3N1b) Count from 0 in multiples of 4, 8, 50 and 100; find 10 or 100 more or less than a given number
• (3N3) Recognise the place value of each digit in a three-digit number (hundreds, tens, ones)
• (3N2a) Compare and order numbers up to 1000
• (3N4) Identify, represent and estimate numbers using different representations
• (3N2a) Read and write numbers up to 1000 in numerals and in words
• (3N6) Solve number problems and practical problems involving these ideas

Number – addition and subtraction

• (3C1) Add and subtract numbers mentally, including a three-digit number and ones
• (3C1) Add and subtract numbers mentally, including a three-digit number and tens
• (3C1) Add and subtract numbers mentally, including a three-digit number and hundreds
• (3C2) Add and subtract numbers with up to three digits, using formal written methods of columnar addition and subtraction
• (3C3) Estimate the answer to a calculation and use inverse operations to check answers
• (3C4) Solve problems, including missing number problems, using number facts, place value, and more complex addition and subtraction

Number – multiplication and division

• (3C6) Recall and use multiplication and division facts for the 3, 4 and 8 multiplication tables
• (3C7) Write and calculate mathematical statements for multiplication and division using the multiplication tables that they know, including for two-digit numbers times one-digit numbers, using mental and progressing to formal written methods
• (3C8) Solve problems, including missing number problems, involving multiplication and division, including positive integer scaling problems and correspondence problems in which n objects are connected to m objects

Number – fractions

• (3F1a) Count up and down in tenths; recognise that tenths arise from dividing an object into 10 equal parts and in dividing one-digit numbers or quantities by 10
• (3F1b) Recognise, find and write fractions of a discrete set of objects: unit fractions and non-unit fractions with small denominators
• (3F1c) Recognise and use fractions as numbers: unit fractions and non-unit fractions with small denominators
• (3F2) Recognise and show, using diagrams, equivalent fractions with small denominators
• (3F4) Add and subtract fractions with the same denominator within one whole [for example, 5/7 + 1/7 = 6/7 ]
• (3F3) Compare and order unit fractions, and fractions with the same denominators
• (3F10) Solve problems that involve all of the above

Measurement

• Measure, compare, add and subtract: lengths (m/cm/mm); mass (kg/g); volume/capacity (l/ml)
• (3M7) Measure the perimeter of simple 2-D shapes
• (3M9a) Add and subtract amounts of money to give change, using both £ and p in practical contexts
• (3M4c) Tell and write the time from an analogue clock, including using Roman numerals from I to XII, and 12-hour and 24-hour clocks

* Estimate and read time with increasing accuracy to the nearest minute; record and compare time in terms of seconds, minutes and hours; use vocabulary such as o’clock, a.m./p.m., morning, afternoon, noon and midnight

• (3M4e) Know the number of seconds in a minute and the number of days in each month, year and leap year
• (3M4f) Compare durations of events [for example to calculate the time taken by particular events or tasks]

*this objective is practical so is not included in this assessment

Geometry – properties of shapes

• Draw 2-D shapes and make 3-D shapes using modelling materials; recognise 3-D shapes in different orientations and describe them
• Recognise angles as a property of shape or a description of a turn
• Identify right angles, recognise that two right angles make a half-turn, three make three quarters of a turn and four a complete turn; identify whether angles are greater than or less than a right angle
• Identify horizontal and vertical lines and pairs of perpendicular and parallel lines

Statistics

• Interpret and present data using bar charts, pictograms and tables
• Solve one-step and two-step questions [for example, ‘How many more?’ and ‘How many fewer?’] using information presented in scaled bar charts and pictograms and tables
