Standards Covered
- MNU 4-07aCurriculum for Excellence · Math · Early Level (P1) · KindergartenI can choose the most appropriate form of fractions, decimal fractions and percentages to use when making calculations mentally, in written form or using technology, then use my solutions to make comparisons, decisions and choices.
- MTH 4-06aCurriculum for Excellence · Math · Early Level (P1) · KindergartenI have developed my understanding of the relationship between powers and roots and can carry out calculations mentally or using technology to evaluate whole number powers and roots, of any appropriate number.
- MNU 4-03aCurriculum for Excellence · Math · Early Level (P1) · KindergartenHaving recognised similarities between new problems and problems I have solved before, I can carry out the necessary calculations to solve problems set in unfamiliar contexts.
- MTH 4-07bCurriculum for Excellence · Math · Early Level (P1) · KindergartenI can solve problems involving fractions and mixed numbers in context, using addition, subtraction or multiplication.
