EXPLORE THE CURRICULUM
Choose a year to see the learning focus.
Every learner starts in a different place. Use the roadmap as a helpful guide, not a test.
THE STARTING POINT
Year 3: make the basics feel secure.
Move from doing sums to understanding how numbers work together.
Number & place value
Read, compare and order numbers to 1,000, then use place value to calculate with confidence.
Multiplication & division
Build fluent recall of the 3, 4 and 8 times tables and connect facts to written methods.
Fractions
Recognise unit and non-unit fractions, find equivalent fractions, and count in fractional steps.
Shape & measure
Use right angles, perimeter and simple scales to describe the world mathematically.
BUILDING CONNECTIONS
Year 4: connect methods and ideas.
Turn growing fluency into flexible problem solving.
Place value & rounding
Work confidently with numbers to 10,000, negative numbers, and rounding to the nearest 10, 100 or 1,000.
Tables & written methods
Use all times tables through 12 and choose efficient written methods for larger calculations.
Fractions & decimals
Understand tenths and hundredths, compare fractions, and begin to add and subtract fractions.
Angles & coordinates
Describe angles, identify symmetry, and read coordinates in the first quadrant.
DEEPER THINKING
Year 5: explain, estimate and reason.
Use secure methods to tackle unfamiliar questions with less support.
Number & calculation
Read and compare numbers to one million, use efficient mental strategies, and estimate answers sensibly.
Fractions, decimals & percentages
Make connections between the three forms and solve problems involving all of them.
Multiplication & scaling
Multiply and divide by powers of ten, identify factors and multiples, and use scaling in context.
Geometry & statistics
Measure angles, read tables and graphs, and use data to explain a conclusion.
READY FOR WHAT’S NEXT
Year 6: apply skills with confidence.
Bring number, reasoning and problem solving together before secondary school.
Number & algebra
Use long multiplication, division, order of operations and simple formulae to solve multi-step problems.
Fractions & percentages
Calculate with fractions, find percentages, and choose an efficient strategy for real-world questions.
Ratio & proportion
Understand ratio language, scale recipes and maps, and connect ratio to proportion.
Reasoning & readiness
Explain a method clearly, check an answer, and approach unfamiliar problems without panic.
