Fractions, Decimal Fractions and Percentages (MNU 2-07a, MNU 3-07a) I can write fractions by examining shapes cut into even parts. I know percentage is another way of describing a fraction. I can solve related problems using fractions and percentages. I can find equal fractions by multiplying top and bottom by the same number. I can simplify a fraction by finding which times table the top and bottom number are both in, and then divide. I can find a fraction of a quantity by dividing by the bottom number. I can find a fraction of a quantity by dividing by the bottom number, then multiplying by the top. From my knowledge of the relationship between percentages and fractions, I can find a simple percentage of a quantity. I can calculate a percentage rise and fall without a calculator. I can find a percentage of a quantity using a calculator. I can, using a calculator, change a fraction to a percentage, e.g. 18 out of 20 = 90% Measure (MNU 2-11a) I can use my knowledge of size to allow me to estimate measurements. I can find area by counting squares. Inverclyde Academy Mathematics Department Page 1

( X angles) I can identify and calculate alternate angles ( Z angles) and corresponding angles ( F ) I can calculate the size of a missing angle in a triangle. I can calculate the size of the missing angle in a quadrilateral. I can use my angle knowledge to calculate any missing angle. Inverclyde Academy Mathematics Department Page 4
I can draw lines of symmetry on well known D shapes. I can complete a symmetrical picture or shape given one half of it and a line of symmetry. I can recognise when a shape or image has line symmetry and can show this by drawing a dotted line: vertically, horizontally or Line Symmetry diagonally. (MTH 2-19a, I can write down the number of lines of MTH 3-19a) symmetry when given an image or a shape. I can reflect a shape on vertical and horizontal lines of symmetry.

I can plan how to save pocket money for special events or purchases. I can calculate the total of a simple bill. I can calculate change from an amount of money used to pay a bill. I can work out best deals in shops to determine which offers better value for money. I can budget money to save and afford to pay bills. Money Budgeting I can keep track of my spending and make (MNU 2-09a, the best use of my money. MNU 3-09a, I can work out how much interest I could MNU 3-09b) earn with a bank account I can understand the different ways to pay for items. I can calculate the cost of borrowing money, so that I can pick the best option. I can use the internet to compare prices. I know how to use exchange rates to change from pounds ( ) to various foreign currencies. Inverclyde Academy Mathematics Department Page 6
I know what a multiple is and can find common multiples of two or three numbers using pattern. I can find the lowest common multiples (LCM) of 2 and 3 numbers Multiples and Factors I know what a factor is and can find (MTH 2-05a, factors which are the same from 2 and 3 MTH 3-05a) numbers (common factors) I can find the highest common factor (HCF) of two and three numbers. I can use my knowledge of multiples and factors to solve problems. Probability (MNU 2-22a, MNU 3-22a) I can conduct simple experiments involving chance. I can use probability vocabulary to describe the chance of an event happening. I can explain how likely things are going to happen and use this to make choices. I can calculate the probability of something happening, and at the same time, not happening. I can make a list of the possible things that could happen from an event. I can use my understanding of chance and uncertainty to make decisions. Inverclyde Academy Mathematics Department Page 7
