Curriculum Objectives

• Read, write, order and compare numbers up to 10 000 000
• Determine the value of each digit in numbers up to 10 000 000
• Round any whole number to a required degree of accuracy
• Use negative numbers in context, and calculate intervals across zero
• 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
• Identify common factors, common multiples and prime numbers
• 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 common factors to simplify fractions; use common multiples to express fractions in the same denomination
• Compare and order fractions, including fractions > 1
• Add and subtract fractions with different denominators and mixed numbers, using the concept of equivalent fractions
• Multiply simple pairs of proper fractions, writing the answer in its simplest form [for example, 1/4 × 1/2 = 1/8]
• Divide proper fractions by whole numbers [for example, 1/3 ÷ 2 = 1/6 ]
• 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
• Solve problems which require answers to be rounded to specified degrees of accuracy
