You can use this breakdown of learning objectives, possible learning outcomes and Assessment for Learning (AfL) prompts to support your planning and assessment of children's learning across this unit.
| Objectives | Children's learning outcomes | Assessment for Learning |
|---|---|---|
| Tabulate systematically the information in a problem or puzzle; identify and record the steps or calculations needed to solve it, using symbols where appropriate; interpret solutions in the original context and check their accuracy | I can record the calculations needed to solve a problem and check that my working is correct |
|
| Explain reasoning and conclusions, using words, symbols or diagrams as appropriate | I can talk about how I solve problems |
[Give children a completed table, e.g. for the number of handshakes made between a given number of people.]
|
| Solve multi-step problems, and problems involving fractions, decimals and percentages; choose and use appropriate calculation strategies at each stage, including calculator use | I can work out problems involving fractions, decimals and percentages using a range of methods |
|
| Use knowledge of place value and multiplication facts to to derive related multiplication and division facts involving decimals (e.g. , ) | I can use place value and my tables to work out multiplication and division facts for decimals | What multiplication table does this image represent?
|
| Use efficient written methods to add and subtract integers and decimals, to multiply and divide integers and decimals by a one-digit integer, and to multiply two-digit and three-digit integers by a two-digit integer | I can use efficient written methods to add, subtract, multiply and divide whole numbers and decimals |
|
| Use a calculator to solve problems involving multi-step calculations | I can, when needed, use a calculator to solve problems |
|
| Express a larger whole number as a fraction of a smaller one (e.g. recognise that 8 slices of a 5-slice pizza represents or 1 pizzas); simplify fractions by cancelling common factors; order a set of fractions by converting them to fractions with a common denominator | I can write a large whole number as a fraction of a smaller one, simplify fractions and put them in order of size |
|
| Relate fractions to multiplication and division (e.g. of ); express a quotient as a fraction or decimal (e.g. or ); find fractions and percentages of whole-number quantities (e.g. of 96, 65% of £260) | I can find fractions and percentages of whole numbers |
|
| Solve simple problems involving direct proportion by scaling quantities up or down | I can scale up or down to solve problems |
|
| Participate in a whole-class debate using the conventions and language of debate, including Standard English (speaking and listening objective) | I can take part in a debate |
