Mathematics Curriculum Framework
Check that the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180°, for example, by measuring or paper folding;
calculate angles in a triangle or around a point.
Position and movement
Read and plot co-ordinates in all four quadrants.
Predict where a polygon will be after one reflection, where the sides of the shape are not parallel
or perpendicular to the mirror line, after one translation or after a rotation through 90° about one
of its vertices.
Measure
Length, mass and capacity
Select and use standard units of measure. Read and write to two or three decimal places.
Convert between units of measurement (kg and g, l and ml, km, m, cm and mm), using decimals to
three places, e.g. recognising that 1.245 m is 1 m 24.5 cm.
Interpret readings on different scales, using a range of measuring instruments.
Draw and measure lines to the nearest centimetre and millimetre.
Know imperial units still in common use, e.g. the mile, and approximate metric equivalents.
Time
Recognise and understand the units for measuring time (seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks,
months, years, decades and centuries); convert one unit of time into another.
Tell the time using digital and analogue clocks using the 24-hour clock.
Compare times on digital and analogue clocks, e.g. realise quarter to four is later than 3:40.
Read and use timetables using the 24-hour clock.
Calculate time intervals using digital and analogue times.
Use a calendar to calculate time intervals in days, weeks or months.
Calculate time intervals in days, months or years.
Appreciate how the time is different in different time zones around the world.
Area and perimeter
Measure and calculate the perimeter and area of rectilinear shapes.
Estimate the area of an irregular shape by counting squares.
Calculate perimeter and area of simple compound shapes that can be split into rectangles.
Handling data
Organising, categorising and representing data
Solve a problem by representing, extracting and interpreting data in tables, graphs, charts and
diagrams, e.g. line graphs for distance and time; a price ‘ready-reckoner’ for currency conversion;
frequency tables and bar charts with grouped discrete data.
Find the mode and range of a set of data from relevant situations, e.g. scientific experiments.
Begin to find the median and mean of a set of data.
Explore how statistics are used in everyday life.
Probability
Use the language associated with probability to discuss events, to assess likelihood and risk,
including those with equally likely outcomes.
Problem solving
Using techniques and skills in solving mathematical problems
Choose appropriate and efficient mental or written strategies to carry out a calculation involving
addition, subtraction, multiplication or division.
