Place Value:  recall and use multiplication and division facts for the 3, 4 and 8 multiplication tables.  write and calculate mathematical statements for multiplication and division using the multiplication tables that he/she knows, including for two-digit numbers times one-digit numbers, using mental and progressing to formal written methods.

Addition & Subtraction:  add and subtract numbers mentally, including a three-digit number and ones.  add and subtract numbers mentally, including a three-digit number and hundreds.  add and subtract numbers with up to three digits, using formal written methods of columnar addition and subtraction.  solve problems, including missing number problems, using number facts, place value, and more complex addition and subtraction.

Multiplication & Division:  recall and use multiplication and division facts for the 3, 4 and 8 multiplication tables.  write and calculate mathematical statements for multiplication and division using the multiplication tables that he/she knows, including for two-digit numbers times one-digit numbers, using mental and progressing to formal written methods.  solve problems, including missing number problems, involving multiplication and division, including positive integer scaling problems and correspondence problems in which n objects are connected to m objects.

Place Value:  identify, represent and estimate numbers using different representations.

Fractions:  count up and down in tenths; recognise that tenths arise from dividing an object into 10 equal parts and in dividing one-digit numbers or quantities by 10.  recognise, find and write fractions of a discrete set of objects: unit fractions and nonunit fractions with small denominators.

Place Value:  read and write numbers up to 1000 in numerals and in words.

Fractions:  recognise and use fractions as numbers: unit fractions and non-unit fractions with small denominators.  recognise and show, using diagrams, equivalent fractions with small denominators.

Fractions:  compare and order unit fractions, and fractions with the same denominators.  add and subtract fractions with the same denominator within one whole e.g. 5/7 + 1/7 = 6/7  solve fraction problems.

Geometry: 

 measure the perimeter of simple 2-D shapes.

Statistics:  interpret and present data using bar charts, pictograms and tables.

recognise angles as a property of shape or a description of a turn. identify right angles, recognise that two right angles make a half-turn, three make three quarters of a turn and four a complete turn; identify whether angles are greater than or less than a right angle.

add and subtract amounts of money to give change, using both £ and p in practical contexts.

Geometry:  identify horizontal and vertical lines and pairs of perpendicular and parallel lines.

Measures:  tell and write the time from an analogue clock, including using Roman numerals from I to XII, and 12-hour and 24-hour clocks

Statistics:  solve one-step and twostep questions e.g. 'How many more?' and 'How many fewer?' using information presented in scaled bar charts and pictograms and tables.

Measures:  estimate and read time with increasing accuracy to the nearest minute; record and compare time in terms of seconds, minutes and hours; use vocabulary such as o'clock, a.m./p.m., morning, afternoon, noon and midnight  know the number of seconds in a minute and the number of days in each month, year and leap year.  compare durations of events e.g. to calculate the time taken by particular events or tasks
