• Interpret negative numbers in context, count forwards and backwards with positive and negative whole numbers, including through zero
• Add and subtract whole numbers with more than 4 digits, including using formal written methods (columnar addition and subtraction)
• Multiply numbers up to 4 digits by a one- or two-digit number using a formal written method, including long multiplication for two-digit numbers

• 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
