Understanding Number I can check adding and subtracting calculations by rounding to the nearest 10 or 100. I use knowledge of context to decide if an answer makes sense. I can use skills of estimation and rounding in a range of real life contexts to the nearest 1000, 10 000 and 100 000.

I can round decimal fractions to the nearest whole number , to one decimal place and two decimal places. I can read, write and order whole numbers to 1 000 000, starting from any number in the sequence. I can estimate the position of any whole number on an empty number line. I can estimate the position of negative and positive numbers on a number line (where 0 is marked).

I can count forwards and backwards confidently from any number. I can count forwards in multiples of 10s, 100s and 1000s from any whole number. I can count backwards in multiples of 10s, 100s and 1000s from any whole number. I can explain the link between a digit, its place and its value for whole numbers to 1 000 000 and up to three decimal places.

I can partition numbers in different ways. I can compare different ways of partitioning the same number. I can use a number line to demonstrate different ways of counting on and back. I can explain and show the effect of multiplying and dividing by 10, 100 or 1000 for an increasing range of whole numbers.

I can explain that in money the decimal places actually refer to parts of a pound. I can explain that in measure the decimal places refer to parts of a metre, kilogram etc. I can apply my understanding of decimal fractions to work out the value of each part of a metric measure. I can use my understanding of decimal fractions to convert between related units e.g. how many centimetres in 1.2 metres?

I can count forwards and backwards in decimal fractions, including up and over whole numbers. I can read, write and order decimal fractions to three decimal places. I can use my knowledge of place value to explain why a decimal fraction is bigger/smaller. I can link fractions and decimal fraction by using tenths e.g. 0.2 = 2/10.

I can link fractions and decimal fractions where the equivalences are easily visualised e.g. 0.25 = ¼ . I can explain what happens when I use a calculator to find a fraction. I can use my understanding of decimal place value to work out the value of the marker on a scale. I can split a decimal fraction into parts to show how many tenths it contains.

I can split a decimal fraction into parts to show how many hundredths it contains. I can split a decimal fraction into parts to show how many tenths it contains. I can use what I know about the relationships between decimal places to order decimal fractions. I can use my knowledge of place value to explain why any decimal fraction is bigger/smaller.

I can identify familiar contexts in which negative numbers are used. I can order numbers less than zero and locate them on a number line. I can apply the correct order of operations in calculations when solving multi-step problems.
