• choose strategies to add, subtract, multiply and divide
• represent the value of money and make simple calculations
• recall multiplication facts
• represent fractions on a number line
• explore addition, subtraction and multiplication number patterns
• measure temperatures, lengths, shapes and objects
• solve problems involving time, and read maps
• create symmetrical shapes and classify angles
• construct graphs and list a likelihood of events
