I can add and subtract numbers with up to 2 digits using the formal written methods of columnar addition and subtraction where appropriate.I can solve problems involving multiplying and adding, including using the distributive law to multiply two-digit numbers by one- digit (e.g. distributive law 39 x 7 = 30 x 7 + 9 x 7 ). I can count forwards and backwards using simple fractions and decimal fractions. I can recognise and show, using diagrams, families of common

equivalent fractions. I can add and subtract several fractions with the same denominator.(answers less than 1).I can solve comparison, sum and difference problems using information presented in bar charts, pictograms and tables.

I can derive facts linked to the multiplication tables that I know (e.g. If I know that 4x6=24, I also know

that 24÷6=4 and 240÷6=40)

I can work out how to solve problems with one or two steps.
