Year 4[Blue]
•
Solve one-step and two-step problems involving numbers, money
or measures, including time; choose and carry out appropriate
calculations, using calculator methods where appropriate
• Represent a puzzle or problem using number sentences,
statements or diagrams; use these to solve the problem; present
and interpret the solution in the context of the problem
• Suggest a line of enquiry and the strategy needed to follow
it; collect, organise and interpret selected information to find
answers
• Identify and use patterns, relationships and properties
of numbers or shapes; investigate a statement involving numbers
and test it with examples
• Report solutions to puzzles and problems, giving explanations
and reasoning orally and in writing, using diagrams and symbols
• Recognise and continue number sequences formed by counting
on or back in steps of constant size
• Partition, round and order four-digit whole numbers; use
positive and negative numbers in context and position them on
a number line; state inequalities using the symbols < and >
(e.g. –3 > –5, –1 < +1)
• Use decimal notation for tenths and hundredths and partition
decimals; relate the notation to money and measurement; position
one-place and two-place decimals on a number line
• Recognise the equivalence between decimal and fraction
forms of one half, quarters, tenths and hundredths
• Use diagrams to identify equivalent fractions (e.g. 6/8
and 3/4, or 70/100 and 7/10); interpret mixed numbers and position
them on a number line (e.g. 31/2)
• Use the vocabulary of ratio and proportion to describe
the relationship between two
• quantities (e.g. ‘There are 2 red beads to every
3 blue beads, or 2 beads in every 5 beads are red’); estimate
a proportion (e.g. ‘About one quarter of the apples in the
box are green’)
• Use knowledge of addition and subtraction facts and place
value to derive sums and differences of pairs of multiples of
10, 100 or 1000 Identify the doubles of two-digit numbers; use
these to calculate doubles of multiples of 10 and 100 and derive
the corresponding halves
• Derive and recall multiplication facts up to 10 ×
10, the corresponding division facts and multiples of numbers
to 10 up to the tenth multiple
• Use knowledge of rounding, number operations and inverses
to estimate and check calculations Identify pairs of fractions
that total 1
• Add or subtract mentally pairs of two-digit whole numbers
(e.g. 47 + 58, 91 – 35)
• Refine and use efficient written methods to add and subtract
two-digit and three-digit whole numbers and £.p
• Multiply and divide numbers to 1000 by 10 and then 100
(whole-number answers), understanding the effect; relate to scaling
up or down
• Develop and use written methods to record, support and
explain multiplication and division of two-digit numbers by a
one-digit number, including division with remainders (e.g. 15
× 9, 98 ÷ 6)
• Find fractions of numbers, quantities or shapes (e.g.
1/5 of 30 plums, 3/8 of a 6 by 4 rectangle)
• Use a calculator to carry out one-step and two-step calculations
involving all four operations; recognise negative numbers in the
display, correct mistaken entries and interpret the display correctly
in the context of money
•
Draw polygons and classify them by identifying their properties,
including their line symmetry
• Visualise 3-D objects from 2-D drawings; make nets of
common solids
• Recognise horizontal and vertical lines; use the eight
compass points to describe direction; describe and identify the
position of a square on a grid of squares
• Know that angles are measured in degrees and that one
whole turn is 360°; compare and order angles less than 180°
• Choose and use standard metric units and their abbreviations
when estimating, measuring and recording length, weight and capacity;
know the meaning of ‘kilo’, ‘centi’ and
‘milli’ and, where appropriate, use decimal notation
to record measurements (e.g. 1.3 m or 0.6 kg)
• Interpret intervals and divisions on partially numbered
scales and record readings accurately, where appropriate to the
nearest tenth of a unit
• Draw rectangles and measure and calculate their perimeters;
find the area of rectilinear shapes drawn on a square grid by
counting squares
• Read time to the nearest minute; use am, pm and 12-hour
clock notation; choose units of time to measure time intervals;
calculate time intervals from clocks and timetables
• Answer a question by identifying what data to collect;
organise, present, analyse and interpret the data in
• tables, diagrams, tally charts, pictograms and bar charts,
using ICT where appropriate
• Compare the impact of representations where scales have
intervals of differing step size
