Your child can check his results and has a rough idea of a sensible answer. Sometimes children do questions without giving thought to the size of the answer.  

 

 

He can extract useful information from a worded question.

 

 

He can use place value to multiply and divide whole numbers by 10, 100, 1000.  (moving decimals points)

 

 

He can order negative numbers as well as add and subtract them. 

 

 

He can add, subtract, multiply and divide numbers with two decimal digits.   

 

 

He can change a fraction to a percentage using a calculator.  (He needs to understand what he is doing)

 

 

He can multiply, divide a 3 digit number by a 2 digit number.  Check his answer by estimation.   

 

 

He can use brackets appropriately.    

 

 

He can interpret coordinates in four quadrants of a co ordinate system; xy coordinates including negative numbers. 

 

 

He can measure/draw angle using a protractor to the nearest degree.  

 

 

He knows that the sum of all the angles in a triangle is 180 degrees and at a point it is 360 degrees.       

 

 

He can identify all the symmetries of 2D shapes.

 

 

He can convert all the units of measurements (centimeters to meters to kilo meters, millilitres to litres, seconds to minutes)

 

 

He can work out the area of a rectangle using the formula.               Length x width

 

 

He can work out the ‘mean’ of a set of data .  2, 3 ,5 ,7 ,8, 2  find mean? 2

 

 

He can interpret graphs using mean, range, median and mode

 

 

He can extract data from pie graphs, bar graphs and line graphs. 

 

 

He can understand simple probability.
