Number and number processes

including addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and negative numbers
Early First Second Third Fourth
I have explored numbers, understanding that they represent quantities and I can use them to count, create sequences and describe order.

*Responsibility of all

I have investigated how whole numbers are constructed, can understand the importance of zero within the system and can use my knowledge to explain the link between a digit, its place and its value.

*Responsibility of all

I have extended the range of whole numbers I can work with and having explored how decimal fractions are constructed, can explain the link between a digit, its place and its value.

*Responsibility of all

   
I use practical materials and can 'count on and back' to help me to understand addition and subtraction, recording my ideas and solutions in different ways.

*Responsibility of all

I can use addition, subtraction, multiplication and division when solving problems, making best use of the mental strategies and written skills I have developed.

*Responsibility of all

Having determined which calculations are needed, I can solve problems involving whole numbers using a range of methods, sharing my approaches and solutions with others.

*Responsibility of all

I can use a variety of methods to solve number problems in familiar contexts, clearly communicating my processes and solutions.

*Responsibility of all

Having recognised similarities between new problems and problems I have solved before, I can carry out the necessary calculations to solve problems set in unfamiliar contexts.

*Responsibility of all

    I have explored the contexts in which problems involving decimal fractions occur and can solve related problems using a variety of methods.

*Responsibility of all

I can continue to recall number facts quickly and use them accurately when making calculations.

*Responsibility of all

 
    I can show my understanding of how the number line extends to include numbers less than zero and have investigated how these numbers occur and are used.

*Responsibility of all

I can use my understanding of numbers less than zero to solve simple problems in context.
