National Curriculum for Mathematics

Ice BreakerDividing a number always

makes it smaller.

Is this statement true ALWAYS, SOMETIMES or NEVER? Make sure you have a good reason for why!

Main changes to curriculumYear 1 changes Counting and writing numerals to 100 Write numbers in words up to 20 Use of vocabulary such as equal to, less

than, more than Use number bonds to 20 Identify and record number sentences in

a problem

Main changes to curriculumYear 2 changes Solve problems with addition and subtraction Write simple fractions and find equivalences of ½ Add 2 digit numbers Understand that addition can be completed in any order,

subtraction cannot Multiplication can be done in any order, division cannot Describe properties of 2D and 3D shapes Use standard unites to measure temperature Tell the time in 5 minute intervals Use symbols £ and p and combine to total amounts Solve simple problems including giving change Recall 2, 5 and 10 times tables

Main changes to curriculumYear 3 changes: Understand and count in tenths Add and subtract fractions with common denominators Compare and order fractions with common

denominators Recall 3, 4 and 8 times tables. Add units, tens or hundreds to 3 digit numbers

mentally Identify angles greater or less than a right angle Tell the time to the nearest minute Understand parallel and perpendicular

Main changes to curriculumYear 4 changes: Recall multiplication facts up to 12x12 Round decimals with 1dp to nearest whole number Read Roman Numerals up to 100 Multiply together three numbers Describe movements as translations Plot points and draw sides to a given polygon Measure and calculate perimeter of rectilinear

shapes Count squares to find area of rectilinear shapes Convert time between analogue and digital clocks

Main changes to curriculumYear 5 changes: Understand and use decimals to 3dp Write percentages as fractions and fractions as decimals Introduced to prime numbers, prime factors and composite

numbers Recognise prime numbers to 20 Understand square and cube numbers Multiply proper fractions and mixed numbers by whole numbers Distinguish between regular and irregular polygons Calculate the mean average Multiply and divide numbers mentally using multiplication facts Multiply and divide 4 digit numbers

Main changes to curriculumYear 6 changes: Compare and order fractions greater than 1 Use the four operations with fractions Calculate the decimal equivalent of fractions Plot points in all 4 quadrants Name radius and diameter Calculate the area of triangles and

parallelograms Calculate volume of 3D shapes Algebra

Problem Solving and Reasoning Big emphasis on this Worded problems Missing number problems True or False questions Written explanations

Changes to end of KS1 tests (SATs) Paper 1: Arithmetic test, worth 25 marks

taking around 20 minutes Paper 2: Mathematical fluency and problem

reasoning, 35 minutes, 35 marks approx Children will have use of equipment such

as number lines but not calculators Tests will be marked internally Children will not be given levels but will be

given scaled scores

Changes to end of KS2 tests Paper 1: arithmetic test, 30 minutes, 36

questions Paper 2 and 3: Mathematical reasoning

and problem solving 40 minutes each, 20 questions

No more levels Scaled scores
