- order and compare items up to £100
- add and subtract totals less than £10 using correct notation, e.g. £6.85 - £2.76
- manage money, compare costs from different retailers and determine what can be bought within a given budget

Length, weight/mass, capacity
• Learners are able to:
- measure and calculate the perimeter of squares and rectangles
- select and use appropriate standard units to estimate and measure length, weight/mass and capacity
- measure on a ruler to the nearest mm and record using a mix of units, e.g. 1cm 3mm
- use weighing scales with divisions to weigh objects to the nearest 5g, 10g, 25g or 100g
- measure capacities to the nearest 50ml or 100ml
- convert metric units of length to smaller units, e.g. cm to mm, m to cm, km to m

- read hours and minutes on a 24-hour digital clock
- time and order events in seconds
- use calendars to plan events
- calculate start times, finish times and durations using 5-minute intervals
- convert between 12- and 24-hour clock times
- estimate the number of minutes everyday activities take to complete

Temperature
• 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:
- recognise volume in practical contexts
- use a protractor to check if an angle is more or less than a right angle
- use eight compass points to describe direction

Identify processes and connections
• Learners are able to:
- transfer mathematical skills to a variety of contexts and everyday situations
- identify the appropriate steps and information needed to complete the task or reach a solution
- 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

Review
• Learners are able to:
