Welcome to our Early years and KS1 maths workshop Put calculation policy passports and parents I can lists on website.

Aims of this session To provide you with a clear understanding of the objectives of the Maths National curriculum 2014 To explain some of the methods used in school To provide you with some ideas of how you can help your child at home.

The main aim of the current maths curriculum Developing Understanding Promoting 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.

Early years expectations •Children count reliably with numbers from 1 to 20, place them in order and say which number is one more or one less than a given number. Using quantities and objects, they add and subtract two single-digit numbers and count on or back to find the answer. They solve problems, including doubling, halving and sharing. •children use everyday language to talk about size, weight, capacity, position, distance, time and money to compare quantities and objects and to solve problems. They recognise, create and describe patterns. They explore characteristics of everyday objects and shapes and use mathematical language to describe them

Year 1 Key Objectives •Count to and across 100from 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 15 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

Mental fluency Recall is the key! • At first, it may seem that the work they are doing is too easy, but they should not be taking time to work out the answer to each question – they need to know it instantly. We want to improve the speed at which children recall each number fact from memory.

Ping pong

How you can help at home When faced with a problem, encourage your child to ask these questions… Can I do this in my head? Could I use drawings or jottings to help me? Do I need to use a written method? Can I estimate and check the answer? Does the answer sound right?

Final Thought! •Be positive about maths. •Make maths fun. •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.
