- select appropriate mathematics and techniques to use
- select and use suitable instruments and units of measurement
- choose an appropriate mental or written strategy and know when it is appropriate to use a calculator
- estimate and visualise size when measuring and use the correct units

Represent and communicate
• Learners are able to:
- explain results and procedures clearly using mathematical language
- refine informal methods of recording written calculations, moving to formal methods of calculation when developmentally ready
- use appropriate notation, symbols and units of measurement
- select and construct appropriate charts, diagrams and graphs with suitable scales

- visualise and describe shapes, movements and transformations

Review
• Learners are able to:
- select from an increasing range of checking strategies to decide if answers are reasonable
- interpret answers within the context of the problem and consider whether answers, including calculator, analogue and digital displays, are sensible
- draw conclusions from data and recognise that some conclusions may be misleading or uncertain

Collect and record data Present and analyse data Interpret results
• Learners are able to:
- represent data using:
• lists, tally charts, tables and diagrams
• bar charts and bar line graphs labelled in 2s, 5s and 10s
• pictograms where one symbol represents more than one unit using a key
• Venn and Carroll diagrams
- extract and interpret information from charts, timetables, diagrams and graphs.

- identify congruent shapes
- recognise 3D shapes, including prisms

Construction
• Learners are able to:
- draw lines to the nearest half centimetre

Movement
• Learners are able to:
- identify lines of symmetry in 2D shapes
- draw horizontal and vertical lines of symmetry

Length, weight/mass, capacity
• Learners are able to:
- recognise that perimeter is the distance around a shape
- use standard units to estimate and measure:
• length: measure on a ruler to the nearest ½ cm
• weight/mass: use 5g, 10g and 100g weights
- choose between metric units to measure a length

• Learners are able to:
- take temperature readings using thermometers and interpret readings above and below 0°C

Area and volume Angle and position
• Learners are able to:
- find areas by counting squares
- identify right angles
- recognise that two right angles make a half turn, and that four right angles make a full turn
- describe an angle as more or less than a right angle
- use the four compass points to describe directions

Number sequences
• Learners are able to:
- explore sequences of whole numbers involving addition and subtraction, e.g. counting in 2s, 3s and 4s from different starting points
- write the next two (or more) terms in sequences that involve addition or subtraction

Functions and graphs
• Learners are able to:
- use one and two step function machines to generate input and output involving addition and subtraction within 100; express, in words, the operations of function machines

Equations and inequalities
• Learners are able to:
- find an ‘unknown’ in one step equations and use this to derive other facts, e.g. 37 +?= 100 therefore 100 - 37 =?
- list numbers that are ‘greater than’ or ‘less than’ another number
- read statements about numbers expressed using an inequality sign, e.g. 6 > 4
