Number and Place Value
Nat Curriculum Objective / Count in multiples of 6, 7, 9, 25 and 1000 / Find 1000 more or less than a given number / Count backward through zero to include negative numbers / Recognise the place value of each digit in a four-digit number (thousands, hundreds, tens, and ones) / Order and compare numbers beyond 1000 / Identify, represent and estimate numbers using different representations / Round any number to the nearest 10, 100 and 1000 / Solve number and practical problems that involve all of the above and with increasingly large positive numbers / Read Roman numerals to 100 (I to C) and know that over time, the numeral system changed to include the concept of zero and place value
