- F1.1 Halves, quarters & thirds of shapesRecognise & find halves and quarters (then thirds) of shapes, objects and quantities.Stage 1–2
- F2.1 Fractions as numbers & equivalenceUnit & non-unit fractions with small denominators as numbers; numerator/denominator; equivalence (½ = 2/4); compare same-denominator fractions; add/subtract same-denominator.Stage 3
- F3.1 Fractions on the number line & as operatorsFractions on the number line; frame a fraction between whole numbers; fractions > 1 & mixed numbers ↔ improper; families of equivalent fractions; fraction of a quantity; fraction as a multiplicative operator.Stage 4
- F4.1 Decimals via place valueDecimals via decimal fractions / place value: tenths & hundredths, read/write/compare, decimal ↔ fraction, round to 1 dp; money as the entry point at lower stages.Stage 4
- F5.1 Decimal & fraction arithmeticDecimals to thousandths; +, −, ×, ÷ decimals; add/subtract fractions with unlike denominators; multiply a fraction/whole by a fraction; multiplication as scaling; terminating vs repeating decimals.Stage 5
- F5.2 PercentagesPercentages as parts per 100; fraction ↔ decimal ↔ percentage equivalence; find a percentage of a quantity; percentages in financial contexts — discounts, interest, budgeting.Stage 5–6
- F6.1 Dividing fractionsDivide fractions (÷ a whole, ÷ a fraction); fraction as a quotient (a/b = a ÷ b).Stage 6
- F6.2 Ratio & proportional reasoningRatio notation, unit rate, proportion problems (reduction to the unit), scale & scale drawings, percentage change & simple interest, compound units (speed, unit pricing, density).Stage 6
