Year 1: Numbers up to 20: recite, count,
order on a track, say number
before/after, estimate, make ‘teens’ by
adding to 10, partition ‘teens’. Year 2:
Numbers up to 100: Mark on a beaded
line and landmarked line, order,
compare, say a number between
neighbouring multiples of ten, count on
and back, estimate, show using bead
strings and write the corresponding
addition, partition, use place value to add
and subtract. This plan uses mental
addition using partitioning.
Mental addition and subtraction. Year 1:
Understand addition as combining sets,
relate counting on to addition, partition 5
into two groups. Record related addition
sentences. Year 2: Partition all numbers
to 10, then 20 into pairs, record related
addition sentences and find
corresponding subtraction; use the = sign
to represent equality; recognise use of a
symbol to represent an unknown; count
on and back in tens from any number;
relate to finding 10 more/less.
Year 3: Place two and three-digit numbers on
a line; order and compare; understand place
value in three-digit numbers; understand and
use place value with money. Year 4:
Understand what each digit represents in a
four-digit number; write place value additions
and subtractions; place three-digit numbers
on a line; order and place three-digit and
four-digit numbers on a line; compare fourdigit numbers.Methods used bead bars and
landmarked lines.Begin to use written
column addition.
Year 3: Know number bonds to 20 and use for
mental addition and subtraction. Use = to
represent equality. Add and subtract onedigit to two-digit numbers. Year 4: Add pairs
of two-digit numbers and three-digit
numbers using place value or counting on.
Subtract two-digit numbers from two-digit
numbers by counting back or counting up.
Methods used include adding near multiples,
partitioning, Frog counting up subtraction
and counting back subtraction.

add and subtract 10, 11 and 20 in the
context of money.
Fractions

Year 1: Recognise fractions of shapes half
and quarter. Year 2: find halves and
quarters of shapes
Year 3: Measure and convert lengths in
centimetres and metres and weight in
kilograms and grams. Estimate, measure
objects and record in tables and represent
and interpret data in bar charts. Year 4
Objectives: Measure lengths and convert
between metres, centimetres and
millimetres. Measure weight and convert
between kg and g to one decimal place. Make
sensible estimations. Measure objects and
record in tables. Represent and interpret data
in bar graphs.
Year 3: Understand and use place value to
add and subtract (3-digit numbers); use place
value in money to add and subtract; add or
subtract 1, 10 and 100 to or from 3-digit
numbers. Year 4: Use place value to add and
subtract 4-digit numbers; add or subtract 1,
10, 100, 1000 to or from 4-digit numbers.
Methods used include mental addition and
subtraction by partitioning, place value grids
and cards, use calculators to show place
value
Year 3: Understand concept of a fraction of a
shape and quantity. Find fractions of a
quantity: ½, ⅓, ¼, ¾, ⅔. Year 4: Divide twodigit numbers by single-digit numbers, just
above the 10th multiple with remainders,
using written layout. Count in quarters, thirds
and tenths saying the equivalent fractions.
Find unit fractions and non-unit fraction of
amounts. Methods used include empty
number lines, chunking and short division.

Year 1: Find doubles to double 5; share
numbers to 10 to find which are even
and which are odd. Year 2: Find doubles
to double 20 and corresponding halves;
Year 3: Double 2-digit numbers; halve even
numbers; know multiplication and division
facts and recognise multiples of 2, 5 and 10
times tables; understand that multiplication
is commutative. Year 4: Double and halve
two-digit and three-digit numbers using
partitioning; know 3, 4, 6, 8 times tables and
associated division facts.
Year 1: count in twos from 1 and 2 to find
odd and even numbers to 20; use
vocabulary related to time; order days of
the week and months. Year 2: add and
subtract 10, 20, 11 and 21 using mental
addition and subtraction of near
multiples.
Year 3: Know multiplication facts for 3 and 4
times tables, derive corresponding division
facts. Divide by 2, 3, 4, 5 and 10, including
giving remainders. Year 4: Use grid method to
multiply a 2-digit number by a 1-digit
number. Use chunking on a number line to
divide numbers just beyond the tables,
leaving no remainders. Methods used for
written division include: chunking and for
written multiplication: grid method
Year 3: Measure and convert lengths in
centimetres and metres and weight in
kilograms and grams. Estimate, measure
objects and record in tables and represent
