| Solve word problems and investigate in a range of contexts: number, algebra, shape, space and measures, and handling data; compare and evaluate solutions. | |
| Identify the necessary information to solve a problem; represent problems mathematically, making correct use of symbols, words, diagrams, tables and graphs. | |
| Break a complex calculation into simpler steps, choosing and using appropriate and efficient operations, methods and resources, including ICT. | |
| Present and interpret solutions in the context of the original problem; explain and justify methods and conclusions, orally and in writing. | |
| Suggest extensions to problems by asking 'What if...?'; begin to generalise and to understand the significance of a counter-example. |
