I record my results on paper or on a computer and check my answers to see if they are sensible

I can use the knowledge and skills above to tackle practical problems in my every day life checking that my results are sensible and that other people can understand them

Silver (Mathematics INGOT)

I can understand and use whole numbers and recognise negative numbers in every day situations.

I can do simple sums in my head using adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing, for example, multiplying and dividing whole numbers by 10 and 100.

I can change fractions to decimals and decimals to fractions for halves, thirds, quarters, fifths, tenths and hundredths.

I can add and subtract decimals up to two decimal places in practical situations.

I understand the word ratio and I can solve simple problems involving ratio, where one of the two numbers being compared is a whole multiple of the other.

I know that a formula is a way of describing a mathematical relationship and I can use simple formulae expressed in words for one or two-step mathematical operations

I can calculate the answers to simple problems about money, temperature, weight, time, length, perimeter, area and capacity (volume) and explain my working.

I can convert units of measure in the same system eg kilometres to metres, stones to pounds and gallons to pints
