|
- Represent a puzzle or problem by identifying and recording the information or calculations needed to solve it; find possible solutions and confirm them in the context of the problem
|
|
|
|
- Solve one-step and two-step problems involving whole numbers and decimals and all four operations, choosing and using appropriate calculation strategies, including calculator use
|
|
|
|
- Explain reasoning using diagrams, graphs and text; refine ways of recording using images and symbols
|
|
|
|
- Express a smaller whole number as a fraction of a larger one (e.g. recognise that 5 out of 8 is
); find equivalent fractions (e.g. = , or = 1 ); relate fractions to their decimal representations
|
|
|
|
- Understand percentage as the number of parts in every 100 and express tenths and hundredths as percentages
|
|
|
|
- Use sequences to scale numbers up or down; solve problems involving proportions of quantities (e.g. decrease quantities in a recipe designed to feed six people)
|
|
|
|
- Use knowledge of place value and addition and subtraction of two-digit numbers to derive sums and differences and doubles and halves of decimals (e.g. 6.5
2.7, half of 5.6, double 0.34)
|
|
|
|
- Recall quickly multiplication facts up to 10 × 10 and use them to multiply pairs of multiples of 10 and 100; derive quickly corresponding division facts
|
|
|
|
- Identify pairs of factors of two-digit whole numbers and find common multiples (e.g. for 6 and 9)
|
|
|
|
- Extend mental methods for whole-number calculations, for example to multiply a two-digit number by a one-digit number (e.g. 12 × 9), to multiply by 25 (e.g. 16 × 25), to subtract one near-multiple of 1000 from another
(e.g. 6070 - 4097)
|
|
|
|
- Refine and use efficient written methods to multiply and divide HTU × U, TU × TU, U.t × U and HTU ÷ U
|
|
|
|
- Find fractions using division (e.g.
of 5kg), and percentages of numbers and quantities (e.g. 10%, 5% and 15% of £80)
|
|
|
|
- Use a calculator to solve problems, including those involving decimals or fractions (e.g. find
of 150g); interpret the display correctly in the context of measurement
