Carry strong Year 3 foundations into Year 4

Year 4 becomes more formal, but it still depends on secure Year 3 place value, written methods, fractions and geometry language. This preview keeps those foundations visible.

Previous year foundations

Number ideas to bring forward

Year 4 numbers get larger, so Year 3 counting and place-value structure still do a lot of the work.

  • Count from 0 in multiples of 4, 8, 50 and 100.
  • Find 10 or 100 more or less than a given number.
  • Recognise the place value of each digit in a three-digit number.

Previous year foundations

Calculation ideas to bring forward

Year 4 written methods and table fluency build directly from the Year 3 calculation core.

  • Add and subtract numbers mentally with ones, tens and hundreds.
  • Use formal column methods for three-digit addition and subtraction.
  • Recall multiplication and division facts for the 3, 4 and 8 tables.

Previous year foundations

Fractions and measure ideas to bring forward

Year 4 fraction and measure work feels more secure when equal parts, equivalence and perimeter are already familiar.

  • Recognise and show equivalent fractions with small denominators.
  • Add and subtract fractions with the same denominator.
  • Measure the perimeter of simple 2-D shapes.

Previous year foundations

Time, geometry and data ideas to bring forward

Year 4 extends these strands with more precision, so the Year 3 language should stay active.

  • Estimate and read time to the nearest minute.
  • Identify right angles and compare angles to a right angle.
  • Interpret and present data using bar charts, pictograms and tables.
