Counting, Representation and Cardinality
- Modelling Numbers up to 1,000,000In this topic you will model and represent numbers up to 1,000,000 using graph sheets, multi-base blocks and place value.
- Numbers Around a Given Number on a Number ChartIn this topic you will identify numbers in different positions around a given number on a number chart and describe the patterns.
- Comparing, Ordering and Rounding Large NumbersIn this topic you will compare and order whole numbers using >, < and =, and round numbers to the nearest ten, hundred, thousand and ten thousand.
Number Operations
- Number Properties for Multiplication and DivisionIn this topic you will use number properties (commutative, associative, distributive and identity) and mental strategies to recall multiplication facts to 81 and related division facts.
- Mental Strategies for MultiplicationIn this topic you will use mental strategies to multiply by 10, 100 and 1,000, by multiples of 10, and by numbers such as 5, 9, 11 and 25.

- Multiplying FractionsIn this topic you will use models to explain multiplying a fraction by a whole number, a whole number by a fraction, and a fraction by a fraction.
Ratio and Proportion
- Understanding RatioIn this topic you will use concrete models and pictures to explain what a ratio is and write ratios correctly.
- Equivalent Ratios: Comparing and OrderingIn this topic you will express ratios in simplest and equivalent forms, and compare and order ratios.
- ProportionIn this topic you will use models to explain proportion as the equality of two ratios and solve simple proportion problems.
