Understand negative numbers as positions on a number line; order, add and subtract integers in context

Ordering Negative numbers

Add, subtract, multiply and divide integers.

Connect three

Recognise and use multiples, factors, primes (less than 100), common factors, highest common factors and lowest common multiples in simple cases; use simple tests of divisibility.

Multiple and factor chains Excel

Factors and multiples game

Use multiples, factors, common factors, highest common factors, lowest common multiples and primes; find the prime factor decomposition of a number, e.g.
8000 = 26 × 53.

Factor tree

Use the prime factor decomposition of a number.
Recognise the first few triangular numbers; recognise the squares of numbers to at least 12 × 12 and the corresponding roots.

Handshakes

Use squares, positive and negative square roots, cubes and cube roots, and index notation for small positive integer powers. Use ICT to estimate square roots and cube roots.

Getting closer Excel

Use index notation for integer powers; know and use the index laws for multiplication and division of positive integer powers. Use index notation with negative and fractional powers, recognising that the index laws can be applied to these as well. Use inverse operations, understanding that the inverse operation of raising a positive number to power n is raising the result of this operation to power 1/n. Understand and use rational and irrational numbers.
Know that n½ = √n and n⅓= 3√n for any positive number n.
