Mathematics in Year 4

Number and Place Value

• Count in multiples of 6, 7, 9, 25 and 1,000
• Count backwards, including using negative numbers
• Recognise the place value in numbers of four digits (1000s, 100s, 10s and 1s)
• Put larger numbers in order, including those greater than 1,000
• Round any number to the nearest 10, 100 or 1,000
• Read Roman numbers up to 100

Calculations

• Use the standard method of column addition and subtraction for values up to four digits
• Solve two-step problems involving addition and subtraction
• Know the multiplication and division facts up to 12 x 12 = 144
• Use knowledge of place value, and multiplication and division facts to solve larger calculations
• Use factor pairs to solve mental calculations, e.g. knowing that 9 x 7 is the same as 3 x 3 x 7
• Use the standard short multiplication method to multiply three-digit numbers by two- digit numbers

Fractions

• Use hundredths, including counting in hundredths

• Find the area of rectangular shapes by counting squares
• Read, write and convert times between analogue and digital clocks, including 24- hour clocks
• Solve problems that involve converting amounts of time, including minutes, hours, days, weeks and months

Shape and Position

• Classify groups of shapes according to the properties, such as sides and angles
• Identify acute and obtuse angles
• Complete a simple symmetrical figure by drawing the reflected shape
• Use coordinates to describe the position of something on a standard grid
• Begin to describe movements on a grid by using left/right and up/down measures
