• Compare/order 6-digit numbers and with 2decimal places.
• Read Roman numerals to 1,000(M) and begin to recognise years (e.g. 2015 would be MMXV).
• Find all factor pairs of a number, begin to find common factors of two numbers and recall prime numbers up to 19.
• Recall all multiplication and division facts up to 12x12, and use known tables to derive other number facts (e.g. 9 x 7 = 63, so 90 x 70 = 6300).
