Module 1
This module, we began by exploring numbers to 1,000 by partitioning, finding more or less, estimating, using number lines, working with Roman numerals and rounding. We then learnt how to add and subtract two 4 digit numbers using the column method.
N.C. Pupils should be taught to: find 1,000 more or less than a given number, recognise the place value of each digit in a four-digit number (1,000s, 100s, 10s, and 1s), order and compare numbers beyond 1,000, identify, represent and estimate numbers using different representations, round any number to the nearest 10, 100 or 1,000, solve number and practical problems that involve all of the above and with increasingly large positive numbers, read Roman numerals to 100 (I to C) and know that over time, the numeral system changed to include the concept of 0 and place value, add and subtract numbers with up to 4 digits using the formal written methods of columnar addition and subtraction where appropriate
Module 2
This module, began with learning about area then focussed on multiplication tables. We solidified some of our Year 3 learning before moving on to 9, 7, 11 and 12 times tables. We also learnt how to multiply by 0 and 1 and 3 numbers at once.
N.C. Pupils should be taught to: recall multiplication and division facts for multiplication tables up to 12 × 12, use place value, known and derived facts to multiply and divide mentally, including: multiplying by 0 and 1; dividing by 1; multiplying together 3 numbers, recognise and use factor pairs and commutativity in mental calculations
