Calculations
I can add and subtract mentally, including:
- A 3-digit number and ones
- A 3-digit number and tens
- A 3-digit number and hundreds
- I can add and subtract numbers with up to three digits, using formal written methods of columnar addition and subtraction.
- I can estimate the answer to a calculation and use inverse operation to check answers.

- I can recall and use multiplication and division facts for the 3, 4 and 8x tables.
- I can write and calculate mathematical statements for multiplication and division using the multiplication tables, including for 2-digit numbers, using mental and progressing to formal written methods.
- I can solve problems, including missing number problems, involving multiplication and division, including integer scaling problems and correspondence problems in which n objects are connected to m objects.
Fractions, decimals and percentages
- I can count up and down in tenths.
- I recognise that tenths arise from dividing an object into 10 equal parts and in dividing 1-digit numbers or quantities by 10.
