Number
Use percentages in real-life situations
Solve percentage problems, including increase and decrease in a variety of
Functional contexts
Calculate a given fraction of a quantity, expressing the answer as a fraction
Understand ‘reciprocal’ as multiplicative inverse
Multiply and divide a given fraction by an integer, by a unit fraction and by a
general fraction
Use a calculator to solve real-life problems involving fractions
Algebra
Simplify terms, products and sums
Multiply a single term over a bracket
Take out common factors
Solve equations by using inverse operations or by transforming both sides in the
same way
Solve linear equations with integer or fractional coefficients, in which the unknown
appears on either side or on both sides of the equation
Solve linear equations that require prior simplification of brackets, including those
that have negative signs occurring anywhere in the equation, and those with a
negative solution
Substitute numbers into formulae
Use formulae from mathematics and other subjects that require prior simplification
of brackets, including those that have negative signs occurring anywhere in the
equation, and those with a negative solution
Change the subject of a formula including where the subject occurs once
Generate a formula in algebra or words
Solve simple linear inequalities in one variable, and represent the solution set on a
number line
Use systematic trial and improvement to find approximate solutions of equations
where there is no simple analytical method of solving them

corresponding quadratic function
Geometry and Measures
Use definitions and names of polygons
Calculate and use the sums of the interior angles of quadrilaterals, pentagons and
hexagons
Calculate and use the angles of regular polygons
Understand that inscribed regular polygons can be constructed by equal divisions
of a circle
Understand tessellations
Understand similarity of triangles and of other plane figures.
Recognise that enlargements preserve angle but not length

Solve problems involving geometric figures (including triangles within circles) in
which a right-angle triangle has to be extracted in order to solve it by
Pythagoras.
Calculate the length of a line segment between two coordinates
Identify and name common solids
Explore the geometry of cuboids (including cubes), and shapes from cuboids
Transform triangles and other 2-D shapes by translation, rotation and reflection
and combinations of these transformations
Understand that translations are specified by a distance and direction (or a
column vector), and enlarging by a centre and a scale factor
Rotate a shape about the origin, or any other point
Measure the angle of rotation using right angles, simple fractions of a turn or
degrees
Understand that rotations are specified by a centre and an (anticlockwise) angle

parallel to any axis, then a mirror line such as y = x or y = –x
Recognise, visualising and constructing enlargements of objects using a positive
integer scale factor
Use congruence to show that translations, rotations and reflections preserve
length and angle, so that any figure is congruent to its image under any of these
transformations

Draw accurate constructions of triangles and other 2-D shapes, using a ruler and
protractor, given information about side lengths and angles
Understand from their experience of constructing them, that triangles satisfying
SSS, SAS, ASA and RHS are unique, but SSA are not
