Maths Curriculum

Aims:• How is the new curriculum different?

• What happens in each year group?

• What can I do as a parent to support my child?

The New Curriculum aims:• become fluent in the fundamentals of mathematics, including through

varied and frequent practice with increasingly complex problems over time, so that pupils develop conceptual understanding and the ability to recall and apply knowledge rapidly and accurately

• reason mathematically by following a line of enquiry, conjecturing relationships and generalisations, and developing an argument, justification or proof using mathematical language

• can solve problems by applying their mathematics to a variety of routine and non-routine problems with increasing sophistication, including breaking down problems into a series of simpler steps and persevering in seeking solutions

Aims of the new curriculum

Problem solving

Fluency Reasoning

Foundation stage

• Counting with objects• Reading and writing numbers• Adding and subtracting with objects • Writing addition and subtraction number

sentences with support• Identify and create repeated patterns• Identify and construct with basic 2D shapes

Year 1• Number & Place value:• Read and write numbers up to 100 as digits• Count forwards and backwards from any number including past 100• Count in 2s, 5s and 10s• Find 1 more/less• Recognise that the digit 5 in 54 has a different value than 5 in 504.Calculations:• Use +, - and = symbols to write number calculationsFractions:• Understand ½ and ¼ to explain parts of an object & counting objects

Measurements & Shape – see the parental guide

Year 2Number and Place Value• Recognise place value in 2 digit numbers• Read & write numbers to 100 as words• Count in steps of 2s, 3s, 5s• Compare and order numbers up to 100• Use the < symbol to represent relative sizesCalculations• Recall number bonds up to 20 fluently• Add & subtract numbers mentally and using objects, including 2 digit numbers• Adding is commutative but subtraction is not• Adding and subtraction are inverse operations• Learn and recall multiplication facts and related division facts for 2x, 5x, 10x tables• Multiplication is commutative but division is not.• Solve word problems involving X and ÷

FractionsFind ¼, ½ and ¾ of an object or set of objects e.g. find ½ of 6

End of Key Stage 1 tests

• Arithmetic test (15 questions)

Eg. 3 + 7 65 + = 93 8 x 10 ¾ of 40• Reasoning test (lasts around 35minutes but not timed)

Eg. Sita puts 2 shoes in each of these 7 boxes. How many are there altogether?

Year 3Number and Place Value• Count in multiples of 4, 8, 50 and 100• Recognise the place value of digits in 3 digit numbers• Read and write numbers to 1000 using digits and words• Compare and order numbers to 1000Calculations• Add and subtract numbers mentally, including + 1, 10, 100 to 3 digit• Use the standard column method for addition and subtraction (up to 3 digits) • Estimate the answers to calculations and use the inverse to check• Learn 3x, 4x, 8x tables and related division facts.• Solve problems involving multiplication and division involving 2 digits.Fractions• Understand and use tenths, including counting in tenths• Recognise and show equivalent fractions with small denominators• Add and subtract simple fractions where the total will be less than a whole

eg. ⅛ + ⅜• Sequence simple fractions into size order

Measurements , Shape & Graphs and Data – see booklet

Year 4Number and Place Value• Count in multiples of 6, 7, 9, 25 and 1000• Count backwards including negative numbers• Recognise the place value of digits in 4 digit numbers• Read Roman numerals up to 100• Order numbers, including those >100• Round any number to the nearest 10, 100, 1000Calculations• Use standard method of column addition and subtraction for values up

to 4 digits• Solve 2-step problems involving addition and subtraction• Know multiplication and division facts up to 12 x 12 = 144• Use knowledge of place value, multiplication facts to solve larger

calculations • Use factor pairs to solve mental calculations eg 9 x 7 = 3 x 3 x 7• Use the standard short multiplication (3 digit x 2 digit)

Year 4 continuedFractions

• Use hundredths including counting in hundredths • Add and subtract fractions with the same denominator – total

may be over whole. eg. ⅝ + ⅞ = 12/8

• Convert tenths and hundredths into the decimal equivalent.• Recognise the decimal equivalents of 1/4 , ½, and ¾ • Divide 1 and 2 digit numbers by 10 or 100 to give decimal answer.• Round decimals to nearest whole number• Compare the size of numbers with up to 2 decimal places.

Calculations• Addition and subtraction with numbers > 4 digits• Use rounding to estimate calculations and check answers are of

reasonable size• Find factors of numbers, including common factors of 2 numbers• Know prime numbers up to 19 by heart and find primes up to 100• Use standard methods for long multiplication and short division• Multiply and divide numbers mentally by 10, 100 or 1000• Recognise and use square numbers and cube numbers

Year 5 continuedFractions

• Order fractions with the same denominator• Find equivalent fractions• Convert between improper fractions and mixed number

fractions• Add and subtract simple fractions with related denominators Eg 2/3 + 1/6• Convert decimals to fractions e.g. 0.71 = 71/100• Round decimals to nearest tenth• Compare the size of numbers with up to 3 decimal places.

• Begin to use % symbol to relate to the ‘number of parts per hundered’

Measurements , Shape & Position & Graphs and Data – see booklet

Year 6Number and Place Value• Work with numbers up to ten million, including negative

numbers• Round any number to any required number of digits or

magnitude
