♦ associate a fraction with division and calculate decimal fraction equivalents [for example, 0.375] for a simple fraction [for example, ]
♦ solve problems involving the calculation of percentages [for example, of measures and such as 15% of 360] and the use of percentages for comparison
♦ recall and use equivalences between simple fractions, decimals and percentages, including in different contexts
Area, Perimeter and Volume
Pupils should be taught to:
♦ recognise that shapes with the same areas can have different perimeters and vice versa
♦ recognise when it is possible to use formulae for area and volume of shapes
♦ calculate the area of parallelograms and triangles
♦ calculate, estimate and compare volume of cubes and cuboids using standard units, including cubic centimetres (cm³) and cubic metres (m³), and extending to other units [for example, mm³ and km³]
Statistics
Pupils should be taught to:
♦ interpret and construct pie charts and line graphs and use these to solve problems
♦ calculate and interpret the mean as an average
