  • Mathematics // Fractions

    Tenths

    Count up and down in tenths; recognise that tenths arise from dividing an object into 10 equal parts and from dividing one-digit numbers or quantities by 10

    Ages 7 to 8Concept
  • Mathematics // Fractions

    Splitting shapes into equal parts (age 7+)

    Partition circles and rectangles into two, three, or four equal shares; describe shares as halves, thirds, and fourths; recognise that equal shares of identical…

  • Mathematics // Fractions

    Equivalent fractions

    Recognise and show, using diagrams, equivalent fractions with small denominators

    Ages 7 to 8Concept
  • Mathematics // Fractions

    Unit fractions

    Recognise, find, and write fractions of a discrete set of objects: unit fractions and non-unit fractions with small denominators

    Ages 7 to 8Concept
  • Mathematics // Fractions

    Fractions of a whole

    Understand a fraction 1/b as the quantity formed by 1 part when a whole is partitioned into b equal parts; understand a/b as a parts of size 1/b

    Ages 8 to 9Concept
  • Mathematics // Fractions

    Decimal equivalents of tenths and hundredths

    Recognise and write decimal equivalents of any number of tenths or hundredths (e.g. 3/10 = 0.3, 27/100 = 0.27)

    Ages 8 to 9Concept
  • Mathematics // Fractions

    Tenths (age 8+)

    Count up and down in hundredths; recognise that hundredths arise when dividing an object by 100 or dividing tenths by 10

    Ages 8 to 9Concept
  • Mathematics // Fractions

    Fraction-Decimal Equivalents

    Recognise and write decimal equivalents of 1/4, 1/2, and 3/4

    Ages 8 to 9Concept
  • Mathematics // Fractions

    Fractions of a whole (age 8+)

    Express whole numbers as fractions (e.g. 3 = 3/1) and recognise fractions equivalent to whole numbers (e.g. 4/4 = 1, 6/1 = 6)

    Ages 8 to 9Concept
  • Mathematics // Fractions

    Fractions as parts of shapes

    Partition shapes into parts with equal areas and express the area of each part as a unit fraction of the whole

    Ages 8 to 9Concept
  • Mathematics // Fractions

    Equivalent fractions (age 9+)

    Explain why a fraction a/b is equivalent to (n×a)/(n×b) using visual models; use this principle to recognise and generate equivalent fractions, including tenths…

    Ages 9 to 10Concept
  • Mathematics // Fractions

    Tenths (age 9+)

    Recognise and use thousandths; relate them to tenths, hundredths, and their decimal equivalents (e.g. 1/1000 = 0.001, 35/1000 = 0.035)

    Ages 9 to 10Concept
  • Mathematics // Fractions

    Understanding fractions (age 9+)

    Understand a fraction a/b with a > 1 as a sum of fractions 1/b (e.g. 3/5 = 1/5 + 1/5 + 1/5)

    Ages 9 to 10Concept
  • Mathematics // Fractions

    Understanding Percentages

    Understand the per cent symbol (%); know that per cent means ‘number of parts per hundred’; write percentages as a fraction with denominator 100 and as a…

    Ages 9 to 10Concept
  • Mathematics // Geometry

    Right Angles & Turns

    Identify right angles; recognise that two right angles make a half-turn, three make three-quarters, and four make a complete turn

    Ages 7 to 8Concept
  • Mathematics // Geometry

    Understanding angles

    Recognise angles as a property of shape or a description of a turn
