Maths methods

Y3/4 Addition

Addition on a number line e.g. 54 + 32 e.g. 58 + 55

Y3 Introducing the columnar method for addition.

Y3 Moving on to ‘carrying’

2634 + 1027 =

Y4 Addition using the columnar method with 4 digit numbers.

Units column

Tens column

Hundreds column

Thousands column

Y3/4 Subtraction

Counting down on a number line

Counting on to find the difference (when numbers are close together) e.g. 104 - 99

Y3/4 Multiplication

Multiplication on a number line (repeated addition) e.g. 3 x 5

Arrays e.g. 3 x 5

We use formal written methods to solve more challenging calculations We use formal written methods to solve more challenging calculations. By the end of year 4, the children should know all their x tables up to 12 x 12. They will need this knowledge to independently use the methods we will teach. Children must also understand x 10 and x 100 and be able to apply this concept: e.g. 6 x 7 = 42 6 X 70 = 6 X 7 X 10 = 420 6 X 700 = 6 X 7 X 100 = 4200

Grid Method - it has a lot of steps.

Multiplication – Short Method (Y4 only) 9 x 83 =

Y3/4 Division

Use the X grid to get the children used to division. Children MUST know that division is sharing and grouping. Children MUST know that it is the Inverse to MULTIPLICATION Use the X grid to get the children used to division.

Division as repeated addition on a number line: 15 ÷ 5 =

Division using chunking on a number line: 65 ÷ 5 =

Formal written method: Short division (Y4 only)

Key Skills – please practise at home! Days of the week and months of the year- how many, the order and spelling Hours in a day; minutes in an hour; seconds in a minute Telling the time to the nearest 5 minutes (digital and analogue; 12 and 24h clocks) Measuring – units of measurement (e.g. kg and g to measure mass), converting between units of measure (e.g. 1000g = 1kg) and reading different scales.

Home learning Reading – daily, including comprehension. Times tables – weekly test on Friday (termly timetable). Spellings – weekly test on Friday (weekly list linked to spellodrome, according to spelling group) AND practise HF/Y3-4 words. Homework – weekly sheet with a short maths and English/Grammar activity. Given out Wednesday; Handed in Monday.

Thank you!
