Ma5/2.2 Addition & Subtraction

Ma5/2.2a add and subtract whole numbers with more than 4 digits,including using formal written methods (columnar addition and subtraction)

Ma5/2.2b add and subtract numbers mentally with increasingly large numbers

Ma5/2.2c use rounding to check answers to calculations and determine, in the context of a problem, levels of accuracy

Ma5/2.2d solve addition and subtraction multi-step problems in contexts, deciding which operations and methods to use and why.

Ma5/2.3 Multiplication & Division

Ma5/2.3a identify multiples and factors, including finding all factor pairs of a number, and common factors of two numbers.

Ma5/2.3b know and use the vocabulary of prime numbers, prime factors and composite (non-prime) numbers

Ma5/2.3c establish whether a number up to 100 is prime and recall prime numbers up to 19

Ma5/2.3d multiply numbers up to 4 digits by a one- or two-digit number using a formal written method, including long multiplication for two-digit numbers

Ma5/2.3e multiply and divide numbers mentally drawing upon known facts

Ma5/2.3f divide numbers up to 4 digits by a one-digit number using the formal written method of short division and interpret remainders appropriately for the context

Ma5/2.3g multiply and divide whole numbers and those involving decimals by 10, 100 and 1,000

Ma5/2.3h recognise and use square numbers and cube numbers, and the notation for squared (2) and cubed (3)

Ma5/2.3i solve problems involving multiplication and division, including using their knowledge of factors and multiples, squares and cubes

Ma5/2.3j solve problems involving addition, subtraction, multiplication and division and a combination of these, including understanding the meaning of the equals sign

Ma5/2.3k solve problems involving multiplication and division, including scaling by simple fractions and problems involving simple rates.

Ma5/2.4 Fractions (decimals & percentages)

Ma5/2.4a compare and order fractions whose denominators are all multiples of the same number

Ma5/2.4b identify, name and write equivalent fractions of a given fraction, represented visually, including tenths and hundredths

Ma5/2.4c recognise mixed numbers and improper fractions and convert from one form to the other and write mathematical statements > 1 as a mixed number

Ma5/2.4d add and subtract fractions with the same denominator and denominators that are multiples of the same number

Ma5/2.4e multiply proper fractions and mixed numbers by whole numbers, supported by materials and diagrams

Ma5/2.4f read and write decimal numbers as fractions

Ma5/2.4g recognise and use thousandths and relate them to tenths, hundredths and decimal equivalents

Ma5/2.4i read, write, order and compare numbers with up to 3 decimal places

Ma5/2.4j solve problems involving number up to 3 decimal places

Ma5/2.4k recognise the per cent symbol (%) and understand that per cent relates to “number of parts per 100”, and write percentages as a fraction with denominator 100, and as a decimal fraction

Ma5/2.4l solve problems which require knowing percentage and decimal equivalents of 1/2, 1/4, 1/5, 2/5, 4/5 and fractions with a denominator of a multiple of 10 or 25.
