Autumn 2

This term, we will focus on Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication & Division as well as Fractions. Here are our objectives:

Number: Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and Division

• Solve addition and subtraction multi-step problems in contexts, deciding which operations and methods to use and why.
• Multiply multi-digit numbers up to 4 digits by a 2-digit number using the formal written method of long multiplication.
• Divide numbers up to 4 digits by a 2-digit whole number using the formal written method of long division and interpret the remainders as whole number remainders, fractions or by rounding as appropriate for the context.
• Divide numbers up to 4 digits by a 2-digit number using the formal written method of short division interpreting remainders according to the context.
• Perform mental calculations, including with mixed operation and larger numbers.
• Identify common factors, multiples and prime numbers.
• Use their knowledge of the order of operations to carry out calculations involving the four operations.
• Solve problems involving addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
• Use estimation to check answers to calculations and determine in the context of a problem, an appropriate degree of accuracy.

Fractions

• Use common factors to simplify fractions; use common multiples to express fractions in the same denomination.
• Compare and order fractions including fractions greater than 1.
• Generate and describe linear number sequences (with fractions).
• Add and subtract fractions with different denominations and missed numbers, using the concept of equivalent fractions.
• Multiply simple pairs of proper fractions, writing the answer in its simplest form e.g. ¼ x ½ = 1/8.
• Divide proper fractions by whole numbers e.g. 1/3 ÷ 2 = 1/6.
• Associate a fraction with division and calculate decimal fraction equivalents e.g. 0.375 for a simple fraction 1/8.
• Recall and use equivalences between simple fractions, decimals and percentages, including in different contexts.
