Year 4 Programme of Study


Number – number and place value


Statutory Requirements

Pupils at Barton St. Lawrence will be taught to:

  • count in multiples of 6, 7, 9, 25 and 1000

     

  • find 1000 more or less than a given number

     

  • count backwards through zero to include negative numbers

     

  • recognise the place value of each digit in a four-digit number (thousands, hundreds, tens, and ones)

     

  • order and compare numbers beyond 1000

     

  • identify, represent and estimate numbers using different representations

     

  • round any number to the nearest 10, 100 or 1000

     

  • solve number and practical problems that involve all of the above and with increasingly large positive numbers

     

  • read Roman numerals to 100 (I to C) and know that over time, the numeral system changed to include the concept of zero and place value.

     

Number – addition and subtraction


Statutory Requirements

Pupils at Barton St. Lawrence will be taught to:

  • add and subtract numbers with up to 4 digits using the formal written methods of columnar addition and subtraction where appropriate

     

  • estimate and use inverse operations to check answers to a calculation

     

  • solve addition and subtraction two-step problems in contexts, deciding which operations and methods to use and why.

     


Number – multiplication and division


Statutory Requirements

Pupils at Barton St. Lawrence will be taught to:

  • recall multiplication and division facts for multiplication tables up to 12 × 12


  • use place value, known and derived facts to multiply and divide mentally, including: multiplying by 0 and 1; dividing by 1; multiplying together three numbers


  • recognise and use factor pairs and commutativity in mental calculations


  • multiply two-digit and three-digit numbers by a one-digit number using formal written layout


  • solve problems involving multiplying and adding, including using the distributive law to multiply two digit numbers by one digit, integer scaling problems and harder correspondence problems such as n objects are connected to m objects.



Number – fractions (including decimals)


Statutory Requirements

Pupils at Barton St. Lawrence will be taught to:

  • recognise and show, using diagrams, families of common equivalent fractions  

     

  • count up and down in hundredths; recognise that hundredths arise when dividing an object by one hundred and dividing tenths by ten.

     

  • solve problems involving increasingly harder fractions to calculate quantities, and fractions to divide quantities, including non-unit fractions where the answer is a whole number

     

  • add and subtract fractions with the same denominator

     

  • recognise and write decimal equivalents of any number of tenths or hundredths

     

  • recognise and write decimal equivalents to 1/4, 1/2, 3/4

     

  • find the effect of dividing a one- or two-digit number by 10 and 100, identifying the value of the digits in the answer as ones, tenths and hundredths

     

  • round decimals with one decimal place to the nearest whole number

     

  • compare numbers with the same number of decimal places up to two decimal places

     

  • solve simple measure and money problems involving fractions and decimals to two decimal places.




Measurement


Statutory Requirements

Pupils at Barton St. Lawrence will be taught to:

  • Convert between different units of measure [for example, kilometre to metre; hour to minute]

     

  • measure and calculate the perimeter of a rectilinear figure (including squares) in centimetres and metres

     

  • find the area of rectilinear shapes by counting squares

     

  • estimate, compare and calculate different measures, including money in pounds and pence

     

  • read, write and convert time between analogue and digital 12- and 24-hour clocks

     

  • solve problems involving converting from hours to minutes; minutes to seconds; years to months; weeks to days.




Geometry – properties of shape


Statutory Requirements

Pupils at Barton St. Lawrence will be taught to:

  • compare and classify geometric shapes, including quadrilaterals and triangles, based on their properties and sizes

     

  • identify acute and obtuse angles and compare and order angles up to two right angles by size

     

  • identify lines of symmetry in 2-D shapes presented in different orientations

     

  • complete a simple symmetric figure with respect to a specific line of symmetry.

     

     

Geometry – position and direction


Statutory Requirements

Pupils at Barton St. Lawrence will be taught to:

  • describe positions on a 2-D grid as coordinates in the first quadrant

     

  • describe movements between positions as translations of a given unit to the left/right and up/down

     

  • plot specified points and draw sides to complete a given polygon.

     

     

Statistics


Statutory Requirements

Pupils at Barton St. Lawrence will be taught to:

  • interpret and present discrete and continuous data using appropriate graphical methods, including bar charts and time graphs.

     

  • solve comparison, sum and difference problems using information presented in bar charts, pictograms, tables and other graphs.
