Recognise the percent symbol (%) and understand that the percent relates to “ number of parts per hundred”, and write percentages as a fraction with denominator 100, and as a decimal Solve problems which require knowing percentage and decimal equivalents of half, quarter, a fifth, two fifths , four fifths and those fractions with a denominator of a multiple of 10 or 25 Solve problems involving number up to three decimal places Add and subtract fractions with the same denominator and denominators that are multiples of the same number Multiply proper fractions and mixed numbers by whole numbers, supported by materials and diagrams Read and write decimal numbers as fractions (for example, 0.71=71over 100) Recognise and use thousandths and relate them to tenths, hundredths and decimal equivalents Round decimals with two decimal places to the nearest whole number and to one decimal place Read, write, order and compare numbers with up to three decimal places Use all four operations to solve problems involving measure (for example, money)
| Convert between different units of metric units of metric measure (for example, kilometre and metre; centimetre and metre; centimetre and millimetre; gram and kilogram; litre and millilitre) Understand and use approximate equivalences between metric units and common imperial units such as inches, pounds and pints Use all four operations to solve problems involving measure (for example, length, mass, volume, money) using decimal notation, including scaling Solve problems involving converting between units of time Measure and calculate the perimeter of composite rectilinear shapes in centimetres and metres Calculate and compare the area of rectangles (including squares), and including using standard units, square centimetres (cm2) and square metres (m2) and estimate the area of irregular shapes Estimate volume (for example, using 1cm3 blocks to build cuboids (including cubes) and capacity (for example, using water) Complete read and interpret information in tables, including timetables Solve comparison, sum and difference problems using information presented in a line graph
| Uses rounding to check answers to calculations and determine, in the context of a problem, levels of accuracy Add and subtract whole numbers with more than four digits, including using formal written methods (columnar addition and subtraction) Add and subtract mentally with increasingly large numbers Solve problems involving addition, subtraction, multiplication and division and a combination of these, including understanding the meaning of the equals sign Identify multiples and factors, including finding all factor pairs of a number, and common factors of two numbers Know and use the vocabulary of prime numbers, prime factors and composite (non-prime) numbers Establish whether a number up to 100 is prime and recall prime numbers up to 19 Recognise and use square numbers and cube numbers, and the notation for squared (2) and cubed (3) Use all four operations to solve problems involving measure (for example, money) Distinguish between regular and irregular polygons based on reasoning about equal sides and angles Use the properties of rectangles to deduce related facts and find missing lengths and angles Identify 3-D shapes, including cubes and other cuboids, from 2-D representations Know angles are measured in degrees: estimate and compare acute, obtuse and reflex angles Draw given angles, and measure them in degrees Identify:
