1. Welcome to our Maths Information Evening
Helping our children to achieve

2. Our aims for this information evening are:
To give an overview of the Maths curriculum
To outline the clear progression of the four calculation methods and how these are taught at our school
To provide ideas on how you can support your child at home

3. National Curriculum for Mathematics
Fluency – fluent recall
Depth - reasoning
Mastery – problem solving

4. Number Number and place value Addition and subtraction
Multiplication and division
Fractions, decimals and percentages
Measures
Geometry
Statistics

5. Concrete
Pictorial
Abstract

6. Class 3 and 4 – Years 4, 5 and 6 Addition Subtraction Multiplication
Division

7. Addition

8. Children need to understand what they are doing during addition before they are ready for the formal written method

10. Subtraction

11. Tens
Ones 1 1 1 10 1 10 10 10 1 1 1 10 10 1 10 1 6 7 2 10 1 1 1 1 - 7 4

16. We encourage the children to choose the most effective strategy=

17. Multiplication :

18. Multiplication Progression
arrays
grid method
compact- column multiplication

19. Models for multiplication
Arrays - commutative

20. The Grid Method

21. More than single digits?10 18 18 8 10
100 80 13 13 3 30 24

22. Progressing towards the grid…
Progressing towards expanded column…
1 0 8
1 0
1 0 0
8 0 3
3 0
2 4
Progressing towards expanded column…
Now, have a go at this question on your whiteboards using one of the methods here, then try a different method:
53 x 15 =

23. This moves to the more compact method

24. Division

25. 5 6 7 8 56  7 Either: How many 7s can I see? (grouping) Or:
If I put these into 7 groups how many in each group? (sharing)
5 6 7 8

26. An image for 56  7
5 6 7 8
How many 7s can I see?

27. 5 6 7 8
How many 7s can I see?

28. 8
How many 7s can I see? 7
5 6

29. 8
How many 7s can I see? 7
5 6

30. 120  3 The power of the place value: counters for larger numbers
Is this sharing or grouping? 40
120 3 30

31. 1200  3
Similarly for 100s
400
1200 3 31

32. Hundreds
Tens
Ones 3
2 0 1 1 6
1 3 8 23 6
138

33. 853 ÷ 5 =

34. How can you support your child?
Learn times tables – make it fun. Make up raps/sing to tunes
Keep calm when they are doing homework. If they don’t understand something and your not sure which method to use, ask a teacher
Play cards and board games
Educational maths apps
Allow your child to handle money, read timetables and be involved with measuring.
