KS1 Maths Parent Workshop Mr Sanderson & Miss Moore 1st February 2019

Aims To explain some of the methods used in school To share some resources that can be used at home

How Maths teaching has changed To give children the chance to explore ways of finding an answer, and being able to explain why it works To give them the key skills needed to solve real world problems and examples To provide opportunities to apply these skills in practical situations

Developing Understanding Prompting thinking & questioning  Providing opportunities to manipulate, experience and see (use of resources) Develop thinking through investigation Reasoning and making connections Engaging in talk using mathematical vocabulary Encouraging children to make links and generalise

Attitudes towards maths Changing attitudes towards Maths You can do it! I am good at maths...

Reception and KS1 Mental Arithmetic The emphasis in Reception and KS1 is on mental arithmetic BUT based on practical activities using a range of equipment: bead strings, Dienes or Base 10, number squares/lines, counters, counting animals, etc.

Year 1 Key Objectives Count to and across 100 from any number Count, read and write numbers to 100 in numerals Read and write mathematical symbols: +, - and = Identify "one more" and "one less" Use number bonds and subtraction facts within 20 Add and subtract 1-digit and 2-digit numbers to 20, including zero Recognise, find and name a half Recognise, find and name a quarter Measure and begin to record length, mass, volume and time Recognise and know the value of all coins and notes Use language to sequence events in chronological order Recognise and use language relating to dates Tell the time to the half-hour, including drawing clocks Recognise and name common 2-D shapes Recognise and name common 3-D shapes

Year 2 Key Objectives Count in steps of 2s, 3s and 5s, and steps of 10 Recognise place value in two-digit numbers Compare and order numbers up to 100 using <, > and = Recall and use number addition/subtraction facts to 20, and derive related facts Add and subtract mentally and with objects one- and two-digit numbers Understand and use the inverse relationship between addition and subtraction Know 2×, 5× and 10× tables, including recognising odd & even numbers Calculate mathematical statements using x and ÷ symbols Recognise, find, name and write 1/3, 1/4, 1/2 and 3/4 of size, shape or quantity Write simple fraction facts, e.g. 1/2 of 6 = 3 Combine amounts of money to make a value, including using £ and p symbols Tell the time to the nearest 5 minutes, including drawing clocks Describe properties of 2-D shapes, including number of sides and symmetry Describe properties of 3-D shapes, including number of edges, vertices and faces Interpret and construct simple tables, tally charts and pictograms

Partitioning 18 = 10 + 8 24 = 20 + 4 67 = 60 + 7 124 = 100 + 20 + 4

Multiplication Language 5 x 7 = 35 5 groups of 7 = 35

Times Tables

Fact Families 2 + 3 = 5 3 + 2 = 5 5 – 2 = 3 5 – 3 = 2

Number Bonds (Part, Part, Whole Model) Number Bonds to 20 18 + 2 = 20 12+ ? =20

Doubles 10 = 20 15 = 30 32 = 64 26 = 52

Halves 20 = 10 30 = 15 42 = 21 56 = 28

Commutative Law When + and X (which are linked) numbers can be interchanged. 2 x 4 = 8 4 x 2 = 8 10 + 2 = 12 2 + 10 = 12 5 x 3 x 12 = (5 x 12) = 60 60 x 3 = 180

Helping at home A prominent clock- digital and analogue is even better. Place it somewhere where you can talk about the time each day A traditional wall calendar-Calendars help with counting days, spotting number patterns and Board games that involve dice or spinners-helps with counting and the idea of chance A pack of playing cards- Card games can be adapted in many ways to learn about number bonds, chance, adding and subtracting A calculator- A basic calculator will help with maths homework when required, there are also many calculator games you can play, too. Measuring Jug-Your child will use them in school, but seeing them used in real life is invaluable. Also useful for discussing converting from metric to imperial Dried beans, Macaroni or Smarties- for counting and estimating A tape measure and a ruler- Let your child help when measuring up for furniture, curtains etc A large bar of chocolate (one divided into chunks)- a great motivator for fractions work Fridge magnets with numbers on- can be used for a little practice of written methods Indoor/outdoor Thermometer- especially useful in winter for teaching negative numbers when the temperature drops below freezing Unusual dice- not all dice have faces 1-6, hexagonal dice, coloured dice A dartboard with velcro darts- Helps with doubling, trebling, adding and subtracting.

Finally… Be positive about maths Make maths fun Don’t math them to death... Give lots of praise and encouragement Talk to your child and ask them to explain their thinking Numbers are all around us all the time. Notice them and talk about them
