Multiply and divide two digit numbers by 2, 3, 4 or 5 as well as 10 with whole number answers and remainders (Written Methods)
Classify 3-D and 2-D shapes in various ways using mathematical properties such as reflective symmetry for 2-D shapes (Properties of Shape)
Begin to recognise nets of familiar 3-D shapes, e.g. cube, cuboid, triangular prism, square-based pyramid (Properties of Shape)
Recognise shapes in different orientations (Properties of Position and Movement)
Reflect shapes, presented on a grid, in a vertical or horizontal mirror line (Properties of Position and Movement)
Describe position and movement (Properties of Position and Movement)

Use standard units of time (Measures)
Use a wider range of measures (Measures)
Gather information (Processing and Representing Data)
Construct bar charts and pictograms, where the symbol represents a group of units (Processing and Representing Data)
Use Venn and Carroll diagrams to record their sorting and classifying of information (Processing and Representing Data)
Extract and interpret information presented in simple tables, lists, bar charts and pictograms (Interpreting Data)
