Number Sense and Numeration (reading, representing, comparing, and ordering whole numbers; place value to 1000)
Read, write, and name whole numbers to 1000 in French and in numerals, including numbers written in words with hyphens and the conjunctions et and cent.
Decompose any three-digit number into hundreds, tens, and ones and rebuild it from a decomposition (for example 472 = 400 + 70 + 2).
Compare and order sets of numbers to 1000 using the symbols <, >, and = and justify each comparison by place value.
Locate numbers on an empty number line and estimate a number's position between two labelled benchmarks.
Your checkpoint
A one-page reference sheet of 20 self-made numbers to 1000, each written in words, decomposed, and placed correctly on a hand-drawn number line, with three comparison statements per number.
Number Sense and Numeration (reading, representing, comparing, and ordering whole numbers; place value to 1000) & Operations and Computation (addition and subtraction of multi-digit numbers, mental math strategies, multiplication and division concepts)
Add and subtract three-digit numbers with and without regrouping, showing the regrouping explicitly in written work.
Apply mental math strategies (making ten, making a hundred, compensating, counting on) to sums and differences within 1000 without written calculation.
Explain multiplication as repeated addition and as an array, and division as sharing and as grouping, using concrete or drawn models.
Solve two-step word problems involving addition and subtraction and state which operation each step required.
Your checkpoint
A worked problem set of 15 items (10 computation, 5 two-step word problems) with every regrouping and every mental strategy annotated in the margin.
Operations and Computation (addition and subtraction of multi-digit numbers, mental math strategies, multiplication and division concepts) & Number Sense and Numeration (reading, representing, comparing, and ordering whole numbers; place value to 1000)
Recall multiplication facts to 5 x 5 and the related division facts fluently within a timed set.
Represent a multiplication or division situation with an equation and a diagram, and match a given diagram to its equation.
Estimate sums and differences to 1000 by rounding to the nearest ten or hundred before computing, then check the exact answer against the estimate.
Identify and correct errors in worked multi-digit computation, naming the place-value misunderstanding behind each error.
Your checkpoint
A timed facts log (three sessions of 20 facts, with scores and dates) plus a corrected error-analysis sheet of five deliberately flawed computations.
Fractions and Decimals (halves, thirds, fourths, tenths; comparing simple fractions; relating fractions to decimals) & Number Sense and Numeration (reading, representing, comparing, and ordering whole numbers; place value to 1000)
Name, read, and write halves, thirds, fourths, and tenths as fractions of a whole and of a set, using correct French fraction vocabulary.
Compare two simple fractions with the same denominator or the same numerator and justify the comparison with a drawing or a benchmark such as one half.
Convert between tenths written as fractions and as decimals (for example 3/10 = 0,3) and place both forms on the same number line.
Recognise equivalent simple fractions such as 1/2 = 2/4 = 5/10 using folded paper or shading.
Your checkpoint
A fraction-and-decimal card set of 12 cards, each showing a fraction, its decimal equivalent where applicable, a shaded diagram, and its position on a number line, with three written comparison statements.
Patterns and Algebra (repeating and growing patterns, pattern rules, simple equations and unknowns) & Operations and Computation (addition and subtraction of multi-digit numbers, mental math strategies, multiplication and division concepts)
Extend a repeating pattern by at least three terms and state its repeating unit in words.
Determine the rule of a growing pattern (for example add 4 each time) and predict a far term without listing every term.
Solve simple equations with an unknown represented by a symbol or letter, such as 7 + n = 15, and verify the solution by substitution.
Translate a one-step word problem into an equation with an unknown and solve it.
Your checkpoint
A pattern-and-equation portfolio of six items: two repeating patterns, two growing patterns with rules and a far-term prediction, and two solved and verified equations.
Measurement (length, mass, capacity, time, temperature; choosing units and tools; perimeter) & Geometry (2-D shapes and 3-D objects, attributes, symmetry, position and movement)
Choose an appropriate unit and measuring tool for a given length, mass, capacity, time, or temperature task and justify the choice.
Measure lengths to the nearest centimetre and calculate the perimeter of rectangles and simple rectilinear shapes.
Identify and describe 2-D shapes and 3-D objects by their attributes (number of sides, faces, edges, vertices) and sort them by two attributes at once.
Identify lines of symmetry in shapes and describe position and movement using directional language and grid steps.
Your checkpoint
A measurement-and-geometry lab sheet: five real objects measured with units and tools named, two perimeter calculations with diagrams, and a sorting chart of eight shapes by two attributes plus marked lines of symmetry.
Data Management and Probability (collecting, organizing, and interpreting data; simple graphs; likelihood of events) & Measurement (length, mass, capacity, time, temperature; choosing units and tools; perimeter)
Collect data from a simple survey or tally and organise it into a frequency table.
Read and construct a pictograph and a bar graph with labelled axes and an appropriate scale, and answer interpretation questions from them.
Describe the likelihood of events using a consistent scale from impossible through certain, and justify each judgement.
Read time to the nearest five minutes and temperature to the nearest degree on a given scale, and solve a simple elapsed-time problem.
Your checkpoint
A one-page data report: a tally table, a bar graph built from your own collected data, four interpretation questions with answers, and six events ranked on an impossible-to-certain scale with justifications.
Problem Solving and Mathematical Reasoning (applying concepts in context, explaining strategies and solutions) & Number Sense and Numeration (reading, representing, comparing, and ordering whole numbers; place value to 1000) & Operations and Computation (addition and subtraction of multi-digit numbers, mental math strategies, multiplication and division concepts) & Fractions and Decimals (halves, thirds, fourths, tenths; comparing simple fractions; relating fractions to decimals)
Solve mixed multi-step problems drawn from all domains and write a sentence explaining the strategy chosen for each.
Show and explain work clearly enough that another person could follow the reasoning without asking questions.
Complete a full-length timed practice set under exam conditions and record which domain each lost mark came from.
Re-teach the two weakest domains from the error log using a self-made summary and three fresh practice items each.
Your checkpoint
A full timed practice set with a completed error log by domain, plus two one-page self-made review sheets for the weakest domains and six new practice items with worked solutions.
Milestones
Week 2: Without notes, decompose and compare five three-digit numbers correctly, and complete ten three-digit addition and subtraction items with at least 8 of 10 correct.
Week 4: Score at least 18 of 20 on a mixed set covering place value, multi-digit computation, and simple fractions and decimals, and correctly convert five tenths between fraction and decimal form.
Week 6: State the rule for two unseen growing patterns and predict a far term, solve three equations with an unknown and verify each, and choose the correct unit and tool for five measurement scenarios.
Week 8: Complete the timed practice set, score at least 80 percent overall with no domain below 60 percent, and submit the completed error log with two self-made review sheets.
