Date Achieved
I can use mathematical content from levels 1 and 2 to solve problems and investigate. I can move between different representations of a problem, e.g. a situation described in words, a diagram, etc. I can explain my methods and reasoning orally. I can use mental strategies to solve simple problems using counting, addition, subtraction, doubling and halving, explaining methods and reasoning orally.
Calculations
I know by heart all addition and subtraction facts for each number to at least 20. I can understand division as repeated subtraction or sharing equally and uses this to solve division problems. I can understand multiplication as repeated addition and use this to solve multiplication problems. I know by heart facts for the 2 and 10 multiplication tables.
Numbers and the number system.
I can count, read, write and order numbers accurately up to 100. I can shade one half or one quarter of a given shape including those divided into equal regions. I can begin to use halves and quarters. I know what each digit represents (including 0 as a place holder) with any 2 digit number. I can describe and extends simple number sequences (including odd/even numbers).
Measures
I am beginning to use standard units of measurement to measure and compare quantities and objects.
I know which measuring tools to use.
I can make and use a right angle checker.
I can tell the time using hours, half-hour and quarter-hour units.
Space and Shape
I can recognize right angles in 2D and 3D shapes. I can make whole turns, half turns and quarter turns. I can sort shapes and describe some of their features. I can sort 2-D and 3-D shapes according to a single criterion, e.g. shapes that are pentagons or shapes with a right angle. I can recognize shapes with no lines of symmetry. I can understand angle as a measurement of turn. I can understand right angles through movement, including using clockwise and anti-clockwise. I can instruct a programmable robot, combining straight-line movements and turns, to move along a defined path or reach a target destination.
Handling Data
I can interpret data presented in simple lists, tables, pictograms or block graphs. I can pose similar questions about data for others to answer. I can communicate my findings to others.
