Number – Addition and Subtraction:
| Objective | Number of Games |
| add and subtract numbers with up to 4 digits using the formal written methods of columnar addition and subtraction where appropriate | 1 |
| estimate and use inverse operations to check answers to a calculation | 1 |
| solve addition and subtraction two-step problems in contexts, deciding which operations and methods to use and why |
Number – Multiplication and Division:
| Objective | Number of Games |
| recall multiplication and division facts for multiplication tables up to 12 × 12 | 32 |
| 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 | 1 |
| multiply two-digit and three-digit numbers by a one-digit number using formal written layout | 1 |
| 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:
| Objective | Number of Games |
| recognise and show, using diagrams, families of common equivalent fractions | 1 |
| count up and down in hundredths; recognise that hundredths arise when dividing an object by one hundred and dividing tenths by ten | 1 |
| 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 | 1 |
| add and subtract fractions with the same denominator | 1 |
| 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 | 1 |
| 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:
| Objectives | Number of Games |
| convert between different units of measure [for example, kilometre to metre; hour to minute] | 1 |
| measure and calculate the perimeter of a rectilinear figure (including squares) in centimetres and metres | |
| find the area of rectilinear shapes by counting squares | 1 |
| 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 | 1 |
| solve problems involving converting from hours to minutes; minutes to seconds; years to months; weeks to days |
Geometry – Properties of Shapes:
| Objectives | Number of Games |
| compare and classify geometric shapes, including quadrilaterals and triangles, based on their properties and sizes | 1 |
| 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 | 1 |
Geometry – Position and Direction:
| Objectives | Number of Games |
| describe positions on a 2-D grid as coordinates in the first quadrant | 1 |
| describe movements between positions as translations of a given unit to the left/right and up/down | 1 |
| plot specified points and draw sides to complete a given polygon |
Statistics:
| Objectives | Number of Games |
| interpret and present discrete and continuous data using appropriate graphical methods, including bar charts and time graphs | 1 |
| solve comparison, sum and difference problems using information presented in bar charts, pictograms, tables and other graphs |
