27 Es&Os, usually taught in P2 to P4. Choose "Plan this" to open a lesson plan linked to that experience and outcome.

Fractions, decimal fractions and percentages including ratio and proportion

  • MTH 1-07c

    Through taking part in practical activities including use of pictorial representations, I can demonstrate my understanding of simple fractions which are equivalent.

    Plan this
  • MNU 1-07aAcross learning

    Having explored fractions by taking part in practical activities, I can show my understanding of:

    • • how a single item can be shared equally
    • • the notation and vocabulary associated with fractions
    • • where simple fractions lie on the number line.
    Plan this
  • MNU 1-07bAcross learning

    Through exploring how groups of items can be shared equally, I can find a fraction of an amount by applying my knowledge of division.

Patterns and relationships

  • MTH 1-13a

    I can continue and devise more involved repeating patterns or designs, using a variety of media.

    Plan this
  • MTH 1-13b

    Through exploring number patterns, I can recognise and continue simple number sequences and can explain the rule I have applied.

    Plan this

Expressions and equations

  • MTH 1-15a

    I can compare, describe and show number relationships, using appropriate vocabulary and the symbols for equals, not equal to, less than and greater than.

    Plan this
  • MTH 1-15b

    When a picture or symbol is used to replace a number in a number statement, I can find its value using my knowledge of number facts and explain my thinking to others.

    Plan this

Properties of 2D shapes and 3D objects

  • MTH 1-16a

    I have explored simple 3D objects and 2D shapes and can identify, name and describe their features using appropriate vocabulary.

    Plan this
  • MTH 1-16b

    I can explore and discuss how and why different shapes fit together and create a tiling pattern with them.

    Plan this

Angle, symmetry and transformation

  • MTH 1-17a

    I can describe, follow and record routes and journeys using signs, words and angles associated with direction and turning.

    Plan this
  • MTH 1-18a

    I have developed an awareness of where grid reference systems are used in everyday contexts and can use them to locate and describe position.

    Plan this
  • MTH 1-19a

    I have explored symmetry in my own and the wider environment and can create and recognise symmetrical pictures, patterns and shapes.

    Plan this

Data and analysis

  • MTH 1-21a

    Using technology and other methods, I can display data simply, clearly and accurately by creating tables, charts and diagrams, using simple labelling and scale.

    Plan this
  • MNU 1-20aAcross learning

    I have explored a variety of ways in which data is presented and can ask and answer questions about the information it contains.

    Plan this
  • MNU 1-20bAcross learning

    I have used a range of ways to collect information and can sort it in a logical, organised and imaginative way using my own and others’ criteria.

    Plan this

Estimation and rounding

  • MNU 1-01aAcross learning

    I can share ideas with others to develop ways of estimating the answer to a calculation or problem, work out the actual answer, then check my solution by comparing it with the estimate.

    Plan this

Number and number processes including addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and negative numbers

  • MNU 1-02aAcross learning

    I have investigated how whole numbers are constructed, can understand the importance of zero within the system and can use my knowledge to explain the link between a digit, its place and its value.

    Plan this
  • MNU 1-03aAcross learning

    I can use addition, subtraction, multiplication and division when solving problems, making best use of the mental strategies and written skills I have developed.

    Plan this

Money

  • MNU 1-09aAcross learning

    I can use money to pay for items and can work out how much change I should receive.

    Plan this
  • MNU 1-09bAcross learning

    I have investigated how different combinations of coins and notes can be used to pay for goods or be given in change.

    Plan this

Time

  • MNU 1-10aAcross learning

    I can tell the time using 12 hour clocks, realising there is a link with 24 hour notation, explain how it impacts on my daily routine and ensure that I am organised and ready for events throughout my day.

    Plan this
  • MNU 1-10bAcross learning

    I can use a calendar to plan and be organised for key events for myself and my class throughout the year.

    Plan this
  • MNU 1-10cAcross learning

    I have begun to develop a sense of how long tasks take by measuring the time taken to complete a range of activities using a variety of timers.

    Plan this

Measurement

  • MNU 1-11aAcross learning

    I can estimate how long or heavy an object is, or what amount it holds, using everyday things as a guide, then measure or weigh it using appropriate instruments and units.

    Plan this
  • MNU 1-11bAcross learning

    I can estimate the area of a shape by counting squares or other methods.

    Plan this

Ideas of chance and uncertainty

Other areas at first level

Questions teachers ask

What are the mathematics experiences and outcomes at first level?
There are 27, usually taught in P2 to P4. They are listed on this page with their codes, grouped by curriculum organiser.
How do I plan a P2 to P4 mathematics lesson for an Es&O?
Choose "Plan this" next to the experience and outcome. Heapso opens a lesson plan set to P3 Mathematics with that code linked. You can change anything before Pip writes.
