Pupils should be taught to:
compare and classify geometric shapes, including quadrilaterals and triangles, based on their properties and sizes
identify acute and obtuse angles and compare and order angles up to 2 right angles by size
identify lines of symmetry in 2-D shapes presented in different orientations
complete a simple symmetric figure with respect to a specific line of symmetry

Measurement

UK-LKS2-Y4-MATH-M — opens in a new tab

Pupils should be taught to:
convert between different units of measure [for example, kilometre to metre; hour to minute]
measure and calculate the perimeter of a rectilinear figure (including squares) in centimetres and metres
find the area of rectilinear shapes by counting squares
estimate, compare and calculate different measures, including money in pounds and pence
read, write and convert time between analogue and digital 12- and 24-hour clocks

Number

UK-LKS2-Y4-MATH-N-A — opens in a new tab

Pupils should be taught to:
add and subtract numbers with up to 4 digits using the formal written methods of columnar addition and subtraction where appropriate
estimate and use inverse operations to check answers to a calculation
solve addition and subtraction two-step problems in contexts, deciding which operations and methods to use and why

UK-LKS2-Y4-MATH-N-F — opens in a new tab

Pupils should be taught to:
recognise and show, using diagrams, families of common equivalent fractions
count up and down in hundredths; recognise that hundredths arise when dividing an object by 100 and dividing tenths by 10
solve problems involving increasingly harder fractions to calculate quantities, and fractions to divide quantities, including non-unit fractions where the answer is a whole number
add and subtract fractions with the same denominator
recognise and write decimal equivalents of any number of tenths or hundreds
recognise and write decimal equivalents to 1/4, 1/2, 3/4
find the effect of dividing a one- or two-digit number by 10 and 100, identifying the value of the digits in the answer as ones, tenths and hundredths
round decimals with 1 decimal place to the nearest whole number
compare numbers with the same number of decimal places up to 2 decimal places
solve simple measure and money problems involving fractions and decimals to 2 decimal places

5 resources

UK-LKS2-Y4-MATH-N-M — opens in a new tab

Pupils should be taught to:
recall multiplication and division facts for multiplication tables up to 12 × 12
use place value, known and derived facts to multiply and divide mentally, including: multiplying by 0 and 1; dividing by 1; multiplying together 3 numbers
recognise and use factor pairs and commutativity in mental calculations
multiply two-digit and three-digit numbers by a one-digit number using formal written layout
solve problems involving multiplying and adding, including using the distributive law to multiply two-digit numbers by 1 digit, integer scaling problems and harder correspondence problems such as n objects are connected to m objects
