Mathematics Curriculum Framework

 Understand everyday systems of measurement in length, weight, capacity, temperature and time

and use these to perform simple calculations.

 Check addition with a different order when adding a long list of numbers; check when subtracting

by using the inverse.

 Recognise 2D and 3D shapes and their relationships, e.g. a cuboid has a rectangular cross-section.

 Estimate and approximate when calculating, e.g. use rounding, and check working.

Using understanding and strategies in solving problems

 Explain why they chose a particular method to perform a calculation and show working.

 Deduce new information from existing information and realise the effect that one piece of

information has on another.

 Use logical reasoning to explore and solve number problems and mathematical puzzles.

 Use ordered lists or tables to help solve problems systematically.

 Identify relationships between numbers and make generalised statements using words, then

symbols and letters, e.g. the second number is twice the first number plus 5 (n, 2n + 5); all the

numbers are multiples of 3 minus 1 (3n – 1); the sum of angles in a triangle is 180°.

 Make sense of and solve word problems, single and multi-step (all four operations), and represent

them, e.g. with diagrams or on a number line; use brackets to show the series of calculations

necessary.

 Solve simple word problems involving ratio and direct proportion.

 Solve simple word problems involving percentages, e.g. find discounted prices.

 Make, test and refine hypotheses, explain and justify methods, reasoning, strategies, results or

conclusions orally.
