Learning goals

  • We are learning to recognise, model, represent and order numbers to at least 10 000.
  • We are learning to add and subtract two-and three-digit numbers using place value groupings.
  • We are learning to partition, rearrange and regroup numbers to 10 000 using place value groupings.
  • We are learning to recognise, model, represent and order numbers to at least tens of thousands.
  • We are learning to recognise and explain multiplying and dividing by 10 using place value charts, numeral expanders or sliders and to use a calculator to understand the relationship between the place value of digits when multiplying and dividing by 10.
  • We are learning to partition, rearrange and regroup numbers to at least tens of thousands using place value groupings.
  • We are learning to recognise and extend place value to tenths and hundredths use decimal notation to name and represent decimals.
  • We are learning to make connections between fractions and decimals to tenths and hundredths.
  • We are learning to compare and order numbers with more than two decimal places and represent decimal numbers including numbers greater than 1, e.g. 1.68cm, on number lines.
  • We are learning to recognise and represent the place value system extending to thousandths, e.g. one-thousandth and 0.001
