• Tabulate systematically the information in a problem or puzzle; identify and record the steps or calculations needed to solve it, using symbols where appropriate; interpret solutions in the original context and check their accuracy

• Represent and interpret sequences, patterns and relationships involving numbers and shapes; suggest and test hypotheses; construct and use simple expressions and formulae in words then symbols (e.g. the cost of c pens at 15 pence each is 15c pence)

• Use knowledge of multiplication facts to derive quickly squares of numbers to 12 × 12 and the corresponding squares of multiples of 10

• Use knowledge of place value and multiplication facts to 10 10 to derive related multiplication and division facts involving decimals (e.g. 0.8 7, 4.8 ÷ 6)

• Recognise that prime numbers have only two factors and identify prime numbers less than 100; find the prime factors of two-digit numbers

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

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

• Describe, identify and visualise parallel and perpendicular edges or faces; use these properties to classify 2-D shapes and 3-D solids

• Make and draw shapes with increasing accuracy and apply knowledge of their properties
