Curriculum Objectives

• Use estimation to check answers to calculations and determine, in the context of a problem, an appropriate degree of accuracy
• Solve addition and subtraction multi-step problems in contexts, deciding which operations and methods to use and why
• Perform mental calculations, including with mixed operations and large numbers
• Multiply multi-digit numbers up to 4 digits by a two-digit whole number using the formal written method of long multiplication
• Divide numbers up to 4 digits by a two-digit whole number using the formal written method of long division, and interpret remainders as whole number remainders, fractions, or by rounding, as appropriate for the context
• Divide numbers up to 4 digits by a two-digit number using the formal written method of short division where appropriate, interpreting remainders according to the context
• Solve problems involving addition, subtraction, multiplication and division
• Use their knowledge of the order of operations to carry out calculations involving the four operations
• Associate a fraction with division and calculate decimal fraction equivalents [for example, 0.375] for a simple fraction [for example, 3/8]
• Identify the value of each digit in numbers given to three decimal places and multiply and divide numbers by 10, 100 and 1,000 giving answers up to three decimal places
• Multiply one-digit numbers with up to two-decimal places by whole numbers
• Use written division methods in cases where the answer has up to two decimal places
• Solve problems which require answers to be rounded to specified degrees of accuracy
• Recall and use equivalences between simple fractions, decimals and percentages, including in different contexts
• Solve problems involving the calculation of percentages [for example, of measures, and such as 15% of 360] and the use of percentages for comparison
• Solve problems involving unequal sharing and grouping using knowledge of fractions and multiples
