Multiply and divide any positive integer up to 10000 by 10 or 100 and
understand the effect (e.g. 9900 ÷ 10, 737 ÷ 10, 2060 ÷ 100).
Understand the effect of and relationships between the four operations, and the
principles (not the names) of the arithmetic laws as they apply to multiplication.
Know by heart all multiplication facts up to 10 × 10.
Use closely related facts (e.g. multiply by 19 or 21 by multiplying by 20 and
adjusting; develop the ×12 table from the ×10 and ×2 tables).
Partition (e.g. 47 × 6 = (40 × 6) + (7 × 6)).
Use the relationship between multiplication and division.
Use known facts and place value to multiply and divide mentally.
Solve simple problems using ideas of ratio and proportion ('one for every...' and 'one
in every...').
Choose and use appropriate number operations to solve problems, and appropriate
ways of calculating: mental, mental with jottings, written methods, calculator.
Explain methods and reasoning, orally and in writing.
Develop calculator skills and use a calculator effectively.

Use fraction notation, including mixed numbers, and the vocabulary numerator and
denominator.
Change an improper fraction to a mixed number (e.g. change 13/10 to 13/10).
Recognise when two simple fractions are equivalent, including relating hundredths
to tenths (e.g. 70/100 = 7/10).
Order a set of fractions such as 2, 23/4, 13/4, 21/2, 11/2, and position them on a number
line.

Use a fraction as an ‘operator’ to find fractions, including tenths and hundredths,
of numbers and quantities.
Use decimal notation for tenths and hundredths in calculations, and tenths,

bar line charts, vertical axis labelled in 2s, 5s, 10s, 20s or 100s, first where
intermediate points have no meaning (e.g. scores on a dice rolled 50 times), then
where they may have meaning (e.g. room temperature over time).
Find the mode of a set of data.
Solve a problem by representing, extracting and interpreting data in tables,
