Key Stage 1 Key Stage 2

• Count and calculate in a range of practical contexts.

• Use and apply mathematics in everyday activities and across the curriculum.

• Repeat key concepts in many different practical ways to secure retention.

• Explore numbers and place value up to at least 100.

• Add and subtract using mental and formal written methods in practical contexts.

• Multiply and divide using mental and formal written methods in practical contexts.

• Explore the properties of shapes.

• Use language to describe position, direction and movement.

• Use and apply in practical contexts a range of measures, including time.

• Handle data in practical contexts.

• Count and calculate in increasingly complex contexts, including those that cannot be experienced first hand.

• Rigorously apply mathematical knowledge across the curriculum, in particular in science, technology and computing.

• Deepen conceptual understanding of mathematics by frequent repetition and extension of key concepts in a range of engaging and purposeful contexts.

• Explore numbers and place value so as to read and understand the value of all numbers.

• Add and subtract using efficient mental and formal written methods.

• Multiply and divide using efficient mental and formal written methods.

• Use the properties of shapes and angles in increasingly complex and practical contexts, including in construction and engineering contexts.

• Describe position, direction and movement in increasingly precise ways.

• Use and apply measures to increasingly complex contexts.

• Gather, organise and interrogate data.

• Understand the practical value of using algebra.
