Curriculum Objectives

• Understand and use approximate equivalences between metric units and common imperial units such as inches, pounds and pints
• Use negative numbers in context, and calculate intervals across zero
• 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
• Use their knowledge of the order of operations to carry out calculations involving the four operations
• Add and subtract fractions with different denominators and mixed numbers, using the concept of equivalent fractions
• Multiply one-digit numbers with up to two-decimal places by whole numbers
• 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
• Find pairs of numbers that satisfy an equation with two unknowns
• Use, read, write and convert between standard units, converting measurements of length, mass, volume and time from a smaller unit of measure to a larger unit, and vice versa, using decimal notation to up to three decimal places
• Calculate, estimate and compare volume of cubes and cuboids using standard units, including cubic centimetres (cm3) and cubic metres (m3), and extending to other units [for example, mm3 and km3]
• Recognise and build simple 3-D shapes, including making nets
• Illustrate and name parts of circles, including radius, diameter and circumference and know that the diameter is twice the radius
• Draw and translate simple shapes on the coordinate plane, and reflect them in the axes
• Interpret and construct pie charts and line graphs and use these to solve problems
• Calculate and interpret the mean as an average
