  • Number and Place Value

    Year 1

    • Count to and across 100, forwards and backwards, beginning with 0 or 1, or from any given number.
    • Count, read and write numbers to 100 in numerals; count in multiples of twos, fives and tens.
    • Given a number, identify one more and one less.
    • Identify and represent numbers using objects and pictorial representations including the number line, and use the language of: equal to, more than, less than (fewer), most, least.
    • Read and write numbers from 1 to 20 in numerals and words.

    Year 2

    • Count in steps of 2, 3, and 5 from 0, and in tens from any number, forward and backward.
    • Recognise the place value of each digit in a two-digit number (tens, ones).
    • Identify, represent and estimate numbers using different representations, including the number line.
    • Compare and order numbers from 0 up to 100; use and = signs.
    • Read and write numbers to at least 100 in numerals and in words.
    • Use place value and number facts to solve problems.

    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.

    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.

    Year 5

    • Read, write, order and compare numbers to at least 1 000 000 and determine the value of each digit.
    • Count forwards or backwards in steps of powers of 10 for any given number up to 1 000 000.
    • Interpret negative numbers in context, count forwards and backwards with positive and negative whole numbers, including through zero.
    • Round any number up to 1 000 000 to the nearest 10, 100, 1000, 10 000 and 100 000.
    • Solve number problems and practical problems that involve all of the above.
    • Read Roman numerals to 1000 (M) and recognise years written in Roman numerals.

    Year 6

    • Read, write, order and compare numbers up to 10 000 000 and determine the value of each digit.
    • Round any whole number to a required degree of accuracy.
    • Use negative numbers in context, and calculate intervals across zero.
    • Solve number and practical problems that involve all of the above.
