Statutory

• recognise the place value of each digit in a two-digit number (tens, ones)
  recall and use multiplication and division facts for the 2, 5 and 10 multiplication tables
• calculate mathematical statements for multiplication and division within the multiplication tables and write them using the multiplication (×), division (÷) and equals (=) signs
• solve problems involving multiplication and division, using materials, arrays, repeated addition, mental methods, and multiplication and division facts, including problems in contexts
• choose and use appropriate standard units to estimate and measure mass (g); capacity (ml)
• find different combinations of coins that equal the same amounts of money [used here with 1g, 2g, 5g and 10g capsules]

Non-statutory

Pupils use standard units of measurement with increasing accuracy, using their knowledge of the number system. They use the appropriate language and record using standard abbreviations.

Pupils work with a range of materials and contexts in which multiplication and division relate to grouping and sharing discrete and continuous quantities, to arrays and to repeated addition. They begin to relate these to fractions and measures (for example, 40 ÷ 2 = 20, 20 is a half of 40). They use commutativity and inverse relations to develop multiplicative reasoning (for example, 4 × 5 = 20 and 20 ÷ 5 = 4).
