Curriculum Objectives

• Solve problems involving converting from hours to minutes; minutes to seconds; years to months; weeks to days
• Convert between different units of measure [for example, kilometre to metre; hour to minute]
• 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
• 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
• 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]
• 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 involving the calculation of percentages [for example, of measures, and such as 15% of 360] and the use of percentages for comparison
• 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
• Convert between miles and kilometres
