• Solve multi-step problems, and problems involving fractions, decimals and percentages; choose and use appropriate calculation strategies at each stage, including calculator use

• Calculate mentally with integers and decimals: U.t ± U.t, TU × U, TU ÷ U, U.t × U, U.t ÷ U

• Use efficient written methods to add and subtract integers and decimals, to multiply and divide integers and decimals by a one-digit integer, and to multiply two-digit and three-digit integers by a two-digit integer

• Use a calculator to solve problems involving multi-step calculations

• Use approximations, inverse operations and tests of divisibility to estimate and check results

• Select and use standard metric units of measure and convert between units using decimals to two places (e.g. change 2.75 litres to 2750 ml, or vice versa)

• Solve problems by measuring, estimating and calculating; measure and calculate using imperial units still in everyday use; know their approximate metric values

• Read and interpret scales on a range of measuring instruments, recognising that the measurement made is approximate and recording results to a required degree of accuracy; compare readings on different scales, for example when using different instruments

• Calculate the perimeter and area of rectilinear shapes; estimate the area of an irregular shape by counting squares

• Estimate angles, and use a protractor to measure and draw them, on their own and in shapes; calculate angles in a triangle or around a point

• Use coordinates in the first quadrant to draw, locate and complete shapes that meet given properties

• Visualise and draw on grids of different types where a shape will be after reflection, after translations, or after rotation through 90 or 180 about its centre or one of its vertices
