This new kit, expected for 2010, will cover these learning objectives:
1 Using and applying mathematics
Solve one-step and two-step problems involving numbers, money or measures, including time, choosing and carrying out appropriate calculations.
Represent the information in a puzzle or problem using numbers, images or diagrams; use these to find a solution and present it in context, where appropriate using £.p notation or units of measure
Follow a line of enquiry by deciding what information is important; make and use lists, tables and graphs to organise and interpret the information
Identify patterns and relationships involving numbers or shapes, and use these to solve problems
2 Counting and understanding number
Work with whole numbers to at least 1000. Read and write proper fractions, interpreting the denominator as the parts of a whole and the numerator as the number of parts; identify and estimate fractions of shapes; use diagrams to compare fractions and establish equivalents.
Partition three-digit numbers into multiples of 100, 10 and 1 in different ways
Round two-digit or three-digit numbers to the nearest 10 or 100 and give estimates for their sums and differences
Read and write proper fractions (e.g. 3/7, 9/10), interpreting the denominator as the parts of a whole and the numerator as the number of parts; identify and estimate fractions of shapes; use diagrams to compare fractions and establish equivalents
3 Knowing and using number facts
Derive and recall all addition and subtraction facts for each number to 20, sums and differences of multiples of 10 and number pairs that total 100
Derive and recall multiplication facts for the 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 10 times-tables and the corresponding division facts; recognise multiples of 2, 5 or 10 up to 1000
Use knowledge of number operations and corresponding inverses, including doubling and halving, to estimate and check calculations
4 Calculating
Add or subtract mentally combinations of one-digit and two-digit numbers
Develop and use written methods to record, support or explain addition and subtraction of two-digit and three-digit numbers
Multiply one-digit and two-digit numbers by 10 or 100, and describe the effect
Use practical and informal written methods to multiply and divide two-digit numbers, round remainders up or down, depending on the context
Understand that division is the inverse of multiplication and vice versa; use this to derive and record related multiplication and division number sentences
Find unit fractions of numbers and quantities: (E.g.1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/6 of 12 litres)
5 Measuring
Read the time on a 12-hour digital clock and to the nearest 5 minutes on an analogue clock; calculate time intervals and find start or end times for a given time interval
The cost of this kit is to be announced.
