1. 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, and

2. 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 , 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).

3. 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 and up to three decimal places.

4. 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.

5. 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?

6. 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.

7. I can link fractions and decimal fractions where the equivalences are easily visualised e.g = 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.

8. 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.

9. 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.
