Primary Framework Objectives for Mathematics

Year 1

Block A Units 2 and 3; Block B Units 1–3; Block D Units 1–3; Block E Units 2 and 3

Solve problems involving counting, adding, subtracting, doubling or halving in the context of numbers, measures or money, for example to ‘pay’ and ‘give change’.

Block A Units 1–3; Block C Units 1–3

Describe ways of solving puzzles and problems, explaining choices and decisions orally or using pictures.

Block B Units 2 and 3; Block E Units 1– 3

Recall the doubles of all numbers to at least 10.

Block E Units 1–3

Describe a puzzle or problem using numbers, practical materials and diagrams; use these to solve the problem and set the solution in the original context.

Use the vocabulary of halves and quarters in context.

Block E Units 1–3

Count on or back in ones, twos, fives and tens and use this knowledge to derive the multiples of 2, 5 and 10 to the tenth multiple.

Block E Units 2 and 3

Solve practical problems that involve combining groups of 2, 5 or 10, or sharing into equal groups.

Year 2

Block A Units 1–3

Present solutions to puzzles and problems in an organised way; explain decisions, methods and results in pictorial, spoken or written form, using mathematical language and number sentences.

Count up to 100 objects by grouping them and counting in tens, fives or twos; explain what each digit in a two-digit number represents, including numbers where 0 is a place holder; partition two-digit numbers in different ways, including into multiples of 10 and 1.

Block B Units 1–3; Block D Units 1–3; Block E Units 2 and 3

Solve problems involving addition, subtraction, multiplication or division in contexts of numbers, measures or pounds and pence.

Block B Units 1–3; Block E Units 1–3

Derive and recall multiplication facts for the 2, 5 and 10 times-tables and the related division facts; recognise multiples of 2, 5 and 10.

Block E Units 1–3

Identify and record the information or calculation needed to solve a puzzle or problem; carry out the steps or calculations and check the solution in the context of the problem.

Represent repeated addition and arrays as multiplication, and sharing and repeated subtraction (grouping) as division; use practical and informal written methods and related vocabulary to support multiplication and division, including calculations with remainders.

Find one half, one quarter and three quarters of shapes and sets of objects.

Block E Unit 3

Present solutions to puzzles and problems in an organised way; explain decisions, methods and results in pictorial, spoken or written form, using mathematical language and number sentences.
