Key Knowledge





I need to know...


Basic Facts


I know
doubles
to 10
and matching

halves to



10

Key Strategies for solving problems involving fractions and decimals

I could choose from...

Number Identification

Counting All

I know doubles to 20
and matching halves to

20



Number Sequence and Order

I know how to order

fractions with the
same denominators

e.g



# ! , "# , &#

I know
how to read
and

Stg 2-3

I know how to read

! ! ! !
, , ,
" # & '

Stg 4

I know the symbols for

halves, thirds,
quarters,
fifths and



tenths

I know symbols for

improper fractions e.g.

Stg 5

share a set
I can fairly
using materials

e.g.

between

share
6 pens
2

I can find
halves
and

of shapes
and
quarters



objects

Advanced Counting counting on and skip counting

I can share a shape
into equal parts for
halves, quarters,
thirds and fifths.

I can find a fraction of

a set by equal sharing.
I use skip counting and
known doubles/halves.

I can find fractions of

shapes/objects using
symmetry to create
halves, quarters and
eighths.

Early Additive using addition to solve problems

I can find a fraction of a number
using halving, known addition
facts

or some simple x facts e.g.
! of 12 = 4 because
4+4+4
= 12
&

I can solve division problems with

remainders mentally using halving or known
addition facts e.g. 6 pies shared between 4

person

(6 4) is 1 pie and pie per

Grouping and Place Value

I know how to count

forwards and
backwards in decimals
(tenths and
hundredths)

I know tenths and

hundredths in decimal
numbers to two places
e.g. there are 72
tenths in 7.2

I know how order unit

fractions for halves,
thirds, quarters,
fifths and tenths

I know how to round

decimals with up to
two decimal places to
the nearest whole
number

C Carser 2016

I can use repeated halving or known multiplication and division facts to solve problem
like ...

"

Stg 6

of 24 is 12, of 12 is
"

6. 3x6 = 18.

Division with
remainders e.g. 8 pies
shared by 3 people
each person gets 2
pies. Remaining two
pies are divided into

I can use repeated copying to solve simple problems involving ratios and rates using
a ratio table or a double number line e.g.
1:2 ratio of blue and yellow seeds means 1 blue seed and 2 yellow seeds in each
packet.
