Learning goals

  • We are learning to show that one- and two-digit numbers can be partitioned in different ways, such as partitioning two-digit numbers into tens and ones.
  • We are learning to count collections of items (e.g. coins) and skip count by 5s or 10s to record how many in the collection.
  • We are learning to count collections to 100 using place value groupings.
  • We are learning to show that two- and three-digit numbers can be partitioned and re-named in different ways, such as partitioning three-digit numbers into hundreds, tens and ones.
  • We are learning to count collections to 1000 using place value groupings.
  • 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 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 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
