Number – Multiplication and Division:
Number – Fractions (including decimals and percentages):
Ratio and Proportion:
| Objectives | Number of Games |
| solve problems involving the relative sizes of two quantities where missing values can be found by using integer multiplication and division facts | 1 |
| solve problems involving the calculation of percentages [for example, of measures, and such as 15% of 360] and the use of percentages for comparison | |
| solve problems involving similar shapes where the scale factor is known or can be found | |
| solve problems involving unequal sharing and grouping using knowledge of fractions and multiples |
Algebra:
| Objectives | Number of Games |
| use simple formulae | |
| generate and describe linear number sequences | |
| express missing number problems algebraically | |
| find pairs of numbers that satisfy an equation with two unknowns | |
| enumerate possibilities of combinations of two variables |
Measurement:
| Objective | Number of Games |
| solve problems involving the calculation and conversion of units of measure, using decimal notation up to three decimal places where appropriate | |
| use, read, write and convert between standard units, converting measurements of length, mass, volume and time from a smaller unit of measure to a larger unit, and vice versa, using decimal notation to up to three decimal places | |
| convert between miles and kilometres | |
| recognise that shapes with the same areas can have different perimeters and vice versa | |
| recognise when it is possible to use formulae for area and volume of shapes | |
| calculate the area of parallelograms and triangles | |
| calculate, estimate and compare volume of cubes and cuboids using standard units, including cubic centimetres (cm3) and cubic metres (m3), and extending to other units [for example, mm3 and km3]. | 1 |
Geometry – Properties of Shapes:
| Objective | Number of Games |
| draw 2-D shapes using given dimensions and angles | |
| recognise, describe and build simple 3-D shapes, including making nets | |
| compare and classify geometric shapes based on their properties and sizes and find unknown angles in any triangles, quadrilaterals, and regular polygons | 1 |
| illustrate and name parts of circles, including radius, diameter and circumference and know that the diameter is twice the radius | |
| recognise angles where they meet at a point, are on a straight line, or are vertically opposite, and find missing angles | 1 |
Geometry – Position and Direction:
| Objectives | Number of Games |
| describe positions on the full coordinate grid (all four quadrants) | |
| draw and translate simple shapes on the coordinate plane, and reflect them in the axes | 1 |
Statistics:
| Objective | Number of Games |
| interpret and construct pie charts and line graphs and use these to solve problems | 1 |
| calculate and interpret the mean as an average |
