  PS 3

  Years:

  Year 3, Year 4

  Subjects:

  • Mathematics and Numeracy

  Topics:

  • The number system is used to represent and compare relationships between numbers and quantities.

  Programmes of Study:

  • I can demonstrate my understanding that non-integer quantities can be represented using fractions (including fractions greater than 1), decimals and percentages. I can use my knowledge of equivalence to compare the size of simple fractions, decimals and percentages and I can convert between representations.
  • I can use a range of representations to extend my understanding of the number system to include negative values, decimals and fractions. I can accurately place integers, decimals and fractional quantities on a number line. I can apply my understanding of number value to round and approximate appropriately.
