• Determine the value of each digit in numbers up to 1,000,000
• Add and subtract whole numbers with more than 4 digits, including using formal written methods (columnar addition and subtraction)
• Solve addition and subtraction multi-step problems in contexts, deciding which operations and methods to use and why
• Multiply and divide whole numbers and those involving decimals by 10, 100 and 1,000
• Add and subtract fractions with the same denominator and denominators that are multiples of the same number
• Solve problems which require knowing percentage and decimal equivalents of 1/2 , 1/4 , 1/5 , 2/5 , 4/5 and those fractions with a denominator of a multiple of 10 or 25
• Solve problems involving converting between units of time
