L4.1 Number and Algebra

L4.2 Geometry and Measurement

L4.2.1 Measurement
- L4.2.1.1 Use appropriate scales, devices, and metric units for length, area, volume and capacity, weight (mass), temperature, angle, and time.
- L4.2.1.2 Convert between metric units, using whole numbers and commonly used decimals.
- L4.2.1.3 Use side or edge lengths to find the perimeters and areas of rectangles, parallelograms, and triangles and the volumes of cuboids.
- L4.2.1.4 Interpret and use scales, timetables, and charts.
L4.2.2 Shape
- L4.2.2.1 Identify classes of two- and three-dimensional shapes by their geometric properties.
- L4.2.2.2 Relate three-dimensional models to two-dimensional representations, and vice versa.
L4.2.3 Position and orientation
- L4.2.3.1 Communicate and interpret locations and directions, using compass directions, distances, and grid references.
L4.2.4 Transformation
- L4.2.4.1 Use the invariant properties of figures and objects under transformations (reflection, rotation, translation, or enlargement).

L4.3 Statistics

L4.3.1 Statistical investigation
- L4.3.1.1 Plan and conduct investigations using the statistical enquiry cycle:
  - L4.3.1.1.a determining appropriate variables and data collection methods;
  - L4.3.1.1.b gathering, sorting, and displaying multivariate category, measurement, and time-series data to detect patterns, variations, relationships, and trends;
  - L4.3.1.1.c comparing distributions visually;
  - L4.3.1.1.d communicating findings, using appropriate displays.
L4.3.2 Statistical literacy
- L4.3.2.1 Evaluate statements made by others about the findings of statistical investigations and probability activities.
L4.3.3 Probability
- L4.3.3.1 Investigate situations that involve elements of chance by comparing experimental distributions with expectations from models of the possible outcomes, acknowledging variation and independence.
- L4.3.3.2 Use simple fractions and percentages to describe probabilities.
