Blue emphasised text signifies end-of-year (EOY) objectives within Mathematics and Early Learning Goals (ELG) within Foundation Stage. In Years 1 to 6, Literacy does not have end-of-year (EOY) objectives.

  • Recognise and continue number sequences formed by counting on or back in steps of constant size
  • Partition, round and order four-digit whole numbers; use positive and negative numbers in context and position them on a number line; state inequalities using the symbols < and > (e.g. -3 > -5, -1 < plus1)
  • Use decimal notation for tenths and hundredths and partition decimals; relate the notation to money and measurement; position one-place and two-place decimals on a number line
  • Recognise the equivalence between decimal and fraction forms of one half, quarters, tenths and hundredths
  • Use diagrams to identify equivalent fractions (e.g. six eighths and three quarters, or seventy hundredths and seven tenths); interpret mixed numbers and position them on a number line (e.g. 3 one half)
  • Use the vocabulary of ratio and proportion to describe the relationship between two quantities (e.g. 'There are 2 red beads to every 3 blue beads, or 2 beads in every 5 beads are red'); estimate a proportion (e.g. 'About one quarter of the apples in the box are green')
