Maths by school year
What is typically expected each year, and where the number facts behind it can be practised. Useful if you know your child’s year but not which facts they are meant to have by now.
England
Counting, reading and writing numbers to 100, and adding and subtracting within 20.
Fluency to 100, the 2, 5 and 10 times tables, and the start of division.
The 3, 4 and 8 times tables, and formal written methods beginning.
All tables to 12 × 12, and the statutory Multiplication Tables Check in June.
Larger numbers, factors and multiples, and long multiplication — all resting on fluent tables.
Consolidation and the KS2 SATs, where speed of recall shows up everywhere.
United States
Addition and subtraction within 100, and the first work on equal groups.
Multiplication and division within 100 — the year the times tables have to become automatic.
Multi-digit arithmetic, factors and multiples, built on fluent facts.
