Mathematics / Numeracy
At KS2
Targets for every child
Around age 11, most children are able to:
Using and applying mathematics
·
tackle a problem using different approaches, trying out ideas
of their own
·
apply maths to practical problems
·
present their results in a clear and organised way.
Number
·
multiply and divide decimals by 10 or 100, and whole numbers
by 1000 in their heads
·
put in order a set of numbers with up to three decimal places
·
work with decimals to add and subtract on paper
·
reduce a fraction to its simplest form (for example,
four-sixteenths to one-quarter)
·
work out fractions of numbers or quantities (for example,
they should be able to work out five-eighths of 32, seven-tenths of 40 and
nine-one hundredths of 400 centimetres)
·
understand that a percentage is the number of parts in every
hundred, and work out simple percentages of whole numbers
·
solve problems involving ratio and proportion
·
know all the times tables and use them to divide as well as
multiply
·
use +, -, ÷, and \ to solve problems given in words, which
could be about numbers or measures (kilograms, kilometres and so on)
·
use paper and pencil methods of multiplying and dividing for
harder calculations (for example, 434.25 multiplied by 8, 195 divided by 6 and
352 multiplied by 27).
Shape,
space and measure
·
use a protractor to measure angles to the nearest degree
·
calculate the perimeter and area of shapes that can be split
into rectangles
·
read and plot coordinates in all four quadrants
·
interpret numbers accurately on a range of measuring
instruments
·
tell the time and solve problems involving time on a 12-hour
or 24-hour clock.
Handling
data
Solve
a problem by collecting and using information in tables, graphs and charts.
