What pupils learn

This course delivers the complete 4th class mathematics curriculum, guiding pupils from place value to 9,999 through the four operations, fractions, decimals, measures, area, perimeter, volume, 2D and 3D shapes, angles, symmetry, transformations, data handling, chance, and early algebra. Pupils develop mental and written calculation skills, explore mathematical relationships, solve contextual problems, and investigate patterns, equipping them with the conceptual understanding and procedural fluency required for fifth class.

By the end of the course, pupils can

  1. Read, write, partition and compare 4-digit whole numbers using place-value columns up to 9,999.
  2. Add and subtract 3- and 4-digit numbers using mental strategies, column methods with regrouping, and solve related word problems.
  3. Recall multiplication facts up to 10 × 10, multiply 2- and 3-digit numbers by a single digit using the grid method, and divide 2- and 3-digit numbers by a single digit with remainders.
  4. Recognise, compare and order fractions and decimals to two places, and find unit and non-unit fractions of quantities.
  5. Measure, rename and solve problems involving length in mm, cm, m and km, weight in g and kg, and capacity in ml and l.
