St Bernadette KS2 Maths No Problem Parent Workshop Monday 29th April 2019

Aims of the Session. To introduce the Maths No Problem approach Aims of the Session *To introduce the Maths No Problem approach *To help parents to understand how Maths is taught at St Bernadette and what the expectations are *To show the methods and strategies used for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division across KS2

Addition

Add numbers with 3 digits Year 3   Add numbers with 3 digits

Reinforce addition from Year 2 using concrete resources to add ones, tens and hundreds. ‘Cherry’ method is used to partition and add.

Add numbers with 4 digits Year 4   Add numbers with 4 digits

Move straight onto compact method Move straight onto compact method. When renaming, the number is carried directly above the number. Some children may prefer to carry on or below the line instead.

Add numbers with more than 4 digits Year 5 & 6   Add numbers with more than 4 digits

Subtraction

Subtract numbers with 3 digits Year 3   Subtract numbers with 3 digits

Subtract numbers with 4 digits Year 4   Subtract numbers with 4 digits

When renaming, the number is crossed out and rewritten directly above.

Subtract numbers with more than 4 digits Year 5 & 6   Subtract numbers with more than 4 digits

Ensure digits are lined up according to place value.

Multiplication

Multiply 2-digits by a single digit number Year 3   Multiply 2-digits by a single digit number

Times Tables Year 3 Expectations Count from 0 in multiples of 4, 8, 50,100 Recall and use multiplication and division facts for the 3, 4 and 8 times tables

Partitioning can also be shown using the ‘cherry’ method.

Move onto column method Move onto column method. When regrouping, write on top of the next digit.

Year 4   Multiply 2 and 3-digit numbers by a single digit, using all tables up to 12x12

Times Tables Year 4 Expectations Count from 0 in multiples of 6, 7, 9, 25, 1000 Recall and use multiplication and division facts for all times tables to 12 x 12

Multiply numbers up to /more than 4 digits (also including decimals) Year 5 & 6   Multiply numbers up to /more than 4 digits (also including decimals)

Division

Year 3   Divide 2-digit numbers by a single digit number (where there is no remainder in the answer)

Divide up to 3-digit numbers by a single digit Year 4   Divide up to 3-digit numbers by a single digit

Partitioning Chunking

Continue to introduce short written method, commonly known as the ‘bus stop’ method.

Year 5 & 6   Divide at least 4 digits by single digit numbers (and 2 digit numbers in Year 6)

What can parents encourage?   Fluency and speed of recalling times tables facts Rehearse different strategies and written methods
