1. 81 13 45 72 WELCOME Have a think about this:
Which number is the odd one out and why?

2. Parent Information Session
New National Curriculum
Mathematics

3. What’s changed?
September 2014 saw the introduction of a new National Curriculum AND the removal of the old levelling system (1A/2B/3C etc)
The previous curriculum has been replaced with new programmes of study, but most schools are going through a period of transformation from the old to the new.
The curriculum ‘must include an assessment system which enables schools to check what pupils have learned and whether they are on track to meet expectations at the end of the key stage’ (DfE)

4. National Curriculum 2014 – some facts:
Statutory from September 2014
No level descriptors
Replaced with end of Key stage expectations:
end of KS1 (Y1&2); LKS2 (Y3&4); UKS2 (Y5&6)
NC covers what is to be taught by the end of each key stage/phase – this is what we assess against
Less content BUT increased expectations, especially in Maths and English… which will mean that for many children who may have been working above age expectation in the last curriculum will now be working at the current age expected in the new curriculum (or possibly even below)

5. An Example of increased expectations…
By the end of LKS2 (Y4):
Recall multiplication and division facts up to 12x12
Be able to use column addition and subtraction methods
These both used to be by end of Y6!

6. How have we tackled this at Long Whatton?
EYFS has separate curriculum as before
Broken the curriculum into 3 milestones which covers years 1-6
MS1 Yrs MS2 Yrs MS3 Yrs 56
Each MS broken down into basic learning, advanced learning and deep learning
Each of these has 2 stages (so: basic 1, basic 2, advanced 1 advanced 2, deep 1 and deep2)
This gives us a scale by we can measure progress
Curriculum: Chris Quigley’s – Essentials
Assessment: Classroom Monitor

8. Early Years Foundation Stage
Expected
Children count reliably with numbers from one 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.
Exceeding
Children estimate a number of objects and check quantities by counting up to 20. They solve practical problems that involve combining groups of 2, 5 or 10, or sharing into equal groups.

9. Milestone 1 – Years 1 and 2
read, write and interpret mathematical statements involving + – = signs
represent and use number bonds and related subtraction facts within 20
add and subtract one-digit and two-digit numbers to 20, including zero
solve one-step problems that involve addition and subtraction, using concrete objects and pictorial representations, and missing number problems (7 - ? = 5)
Recall and use addition and subtraction facts to 20 fluently, derive and use
related facts up to 100 and know by heart and use 2x, 5x and 10x tables
Add and subtract numbers using concrete objects, pictorial representations,
and mentally, including:
a two-digit number and 1s and 10s
2 two-digit numbers and 3 one-digit numbers
Understand that addition of 2 numbers can be done in any order (commutative)
and subtraction of 1 number from another cannot
Recognise and use the inverse relationship between addition and subtraction
and use this to check calculations and solve missing number problems

10. Milestone 2 – Years 3 and 4
Add and subtract numbers mentally, including:
A three-digit number and ones, and tens and hundreds
Add and subtract numbers with up to three digits, using formal written methods of columnar addition and subtraction
Estimate the answer to a calculation and use inverse operations to check answers
Solve problems, including missing number problems, using number facts, place value, and more complex addition and subtraction
Add and subtract numbers with up to 4 digits using the formal written methods of column addition and subtraction where appropriate
Solve addition and subtraction two-step problems in contexts, deciding which
operations and methods to use and why

11. Milestone 3 – Years 5 and 6
add and subtract whole numbers with more than 4 digits, including using formal
written methods (columnar addition and subtraction)
add and subtract numbers mentally with increasingly large numbers
use rounding to check answers to calculations and determine, in the context of a problem, levels of accuracy
solve addition and subtraction multi-step problems in contexts, deciding which operations and methods to use and why
perform mental calculations, including with mixed operations and large numbers
use their knowledge of the order of operations to carry out calculations involving the four operations

12. Breadth/depth of learning:
Progression is not simply a matter of ticking off what pupils can do. Instead it is concerned with how well they can do things, their fluency and their depth of understanding.
Therefore it is important to track two things:
a) the breadth of learning (i.e. how many examples of learning we can see)
b) the depth of learning (i.e. the fluency of pupils, how well they apply knowledge and skills and their depth of understanding)

13. Maths in action!
What strategies we currently teach in school for + and -
EYFS Early Number Skills and getting ready for milestone 1 – Miss Wood
Moving through Milestone 1 – Mrs Kirkwood
Moving through Milestones 2/3 – Mrs Collins
Demonstrations
Please ask questions
Handouts that show the progression of strategies – feel free to keep for reference

14. Main Messages: Fun Fun Fun
From concrete to the abstract
Early counting and ordering skills
Understanding the place value of a digit
Understanding what the four operations mean
Lots of practice at the processes with easy numbers first to ensure lots of success
Learning number fact and tables is crucial
Children are human beings not tins of baked beans and we are a school not a factory. They will all develop at different rates, all have natural strengths and things they find harder to do.

15. Thank you for coming!
Same place and same time
next week for multiplication
and division.

16. Advancing/Deep learning – how?
A move away from pushing forward too quickly.
A focus on broadening and deepening learning (Horizontal rather than vertical learning) – want children to achieve all age expectations rather than extending to the next year group
We want to move the children on and stretch them but we want them to have a deeper understanding of what they are doing, considering more the use and application of what they know.
We want the children to be more independent.
We want them to realise that they have some responsibility for their own learning.
We aim to help them to become more resilient so they don’t give up when faced with a challenge but try different ways to be successful and solve problems.

17. Basic/Advancing/Deep
Basic: Low level cognitive demand. Involves following instructions:
- name, describe, follow instructions or methods, complete tasks, recall information, ask basic questions,use, match, report, measure, list, illustrate, label, recognise, tell, repeat, arrange, define, memorise.
Advancing: Higher level of cognitive demand. Involves mental processing beyond recall. Requires some degree of decision making:
- apply skills to solve problems, explain methods, classify, infer, categorise, identify patterns, organise, modify, predict, interpret, summarise, make observations, estimate, compare.
Deep:Cognitive demands are complex and abstract. Involves problems with multi-steps or more than one possible answer. Requires justification of answers:
- solve non-routine problems, appraise, explain concepts, hypothesise, investigate, cite evidence, design, create, prove.
