18. Handwriting Cursive script Correct posture / positioning Pencil grip Correct formation of uppercase and lowercase letters

19. Maths Year 3 count from 0 in multiples of 4, 8, 50 and 100; find 10 or 100 more or less than a given number recognise the place value of each digit in a three-digit number (hundreds, tens, ones) compare and order numbers up to 1000 identify, represent and estimate numbers using different representations read and write numbers up to 1000 in numerals and in words solve number problems and practical problems involving these ideas.

20. Maths Year 4 count in multiples of 6, 7, 9, 25 and 1000 find 1000 more or less than a given number count backwards through zero to include negative numbers recognise the place value of each digit in a four-digit number (thousands, hundreds, tens, and ones) order and compare numbers beyond 1000 identify, represent and estimate numbers using different representations round any number to the nearest 10, 100 or 1000 solve number and practical problems that involve all of the above and with increasingly large positive numbers read Roman numerals to 100 (I to C) and know that over time, the numeral system changed to include the concept of zero and place value.

21. Four Operations

22. 34 + 26 = 60 34 + 20 = 54 54 + 6 = 60 Using a 100 square Addition Partitioning the numbers

23. Using an empty number line Addition

24. Expanded Column Method Addition

25. Subtraction Using a 100 square 76 – 24 = 52 76 – 20 = 56 56 – 4 = 52

26. Subtraction Using an empty number line Numicon and practical resources can be used to support this

27. Subtraction Finding the difference Numicon and practical resources can be used to support this

28. Subtraction Partitioning and Decomposition

29. Multiplication Repeated Addition 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 20 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 = 24

30. Multiplication Drawing Arrays 3 + 3 + 3 = 9 3 “lots of” 3 = 9 3 x 3 = 9 5 + 5 + 5 = 15 3 “lots of” 5 = 15 3 x 5 = 15

31. Multiplication Arrays in the environment Children can find arrays all around them.

32. Multiplication Partitioning 38 x 5 = (30 x 5) + (8 x 5) 150 + 40 190

33. Multiplication Grid Method x308 515040 150 + 40 = 190 38 x 5 =

34. Multiplication Grid Method x308 20600160 515040 600 + 160 + 150 + 40 = 950 38 x 25 =

35. Division Sharing Share 12 cookies between 4 people… 12 ÷ 4 = 3

36. Division As grouping Put 12 people into 6 groups… 12 ÷ 6 = 2

37. Division Repeated Subtraction 50 ÷ 5 = 50 – 5 -5 -5 -5 -5 -5 -5 -5 -5 -5 How many jumps?

38. Division Dividing with remainders Can we take away another jump of 4?

39. Division Rounding up or rounding down? 13 children are going sailing. 4 children can fit in a boat. How many boats will they need?
