National Numeracy Strategy - Key Objectives

The mathematics covered in the Lyng Trail includes all four National Curriculum Attainment Targets.
By working through all the levels ( 1 - 6) pupils will have covered some work on the following
National Numeracy Strategy Key Objectives:

Reception
Count reliably up to 10 everyday objects.
Use language such as more or less, greater or smaller, heavier or lighter to compare two numbers or quantities.
Talk about, recognise and create simple patterns.
Find one more or less than a number from 1 to 10.

Year 1
Count reliably at least 20 objects.
Use mental strategies to solve simple problems.
Use everyday language to describe features of familiar 3-D and 2-D shapes.

Year 2
Write and order whole numbers up to 100.
Recognise odd and even numbers.
Know and use halving as the inverse of doubling
Explain how a problem was solved.

Year 3
Recognise unit fractions such as ¼ ½ ¾
and use them to find fractions of numbers.
Use units of time.
Understand and use £.p notation.
Choose and use appropriate operations to solve word problems.
Identify right angles.
Identify lines of symmetry in simple shapes and recognise shapes with no lines of symmetry.
Solve a given problem by organising and interpreting numerical data in simple lists, tables and graphs.

Year 4
Choose and use appropriate number operations and ways of calculating ( mental, mental with jottings, pencil and paper ) to solve problems.

Year 5
Use all four operations to solve simple word problems involving numbers and quantities. Explain method and reasoning.

Year 6
Understand percentage as the number of parts in every 100.
Find simple percentages of small whole-number quantities.
Identify and use appropriate operations (including combinations of operations) to solve word problems involving numbers and quantities in real life .
Solve a problem by extracting and interpreting data in tables, graphs and charts.
Calculate the perimeter and area of simple compound shapes that can be split into rectangles.
Use a protractor to measure acute and obtuse angles to the nearest degree.
