Aims of this session To ensure understanding of the number facts that your child/children should know To give a better understanding of what – and how – your child is learning in maths at QH To increase confidence in supporting maths at home

They are then taught to count the objects in similar groups. Counting in groups Children group similar objects almost instinctively, and are guided to do this (where necessary) through play. They are then taught to count the objects in similar groups.

Skip Counting Skip Counting is mainly practised with the 2, 5 and 10 times tables (Years 1 and 2), though is also used to aid recall in KS2.

Arrays are objects or numbers arranged in rows/columns.

In the Early Years, children begin using arrays as Tens frames.

This is supported by their use of Numicon. Arrays This is supported by their use of Numicon.

A real-world context for arrays

More contexts for arrays

Application of arrays 3 people can sleep in one tent, how many tents will we need for 33 children? 11 tents for people in groups of 3 11 x 3 = 33

Applying simple facts If I know 10x5 what else do I know?

Using arrays with inverse relationships Teaching these relationships builds and understanding of commutativity – which is required from Year 2!

Applying commutative laws - Division Jenny is having a birthday party. She has invited 9 friends, and wants to make sure that they all get an equal share of her 30 sweets. Jenny says: “3 lots of 10 is equal to 30, so I know that each person should get 3 sweets”. How do you know that she is correct? Jenny has used her knowledge of commutativity! She knew that 3 x 10 = 30, and has worked out from this that 30 ÷ 10 = 3.
