1. KS1 Maths Parent Workshop
Mr Sanderson & Miss Moore
1st February 2019

2. Aims To explain some of the methods used in school
To share some resources that can be used at home

3. How Maths teaching has changed
To give children the chance to explore ways of finding an answer, and being able to explain why it works
To give them the key skills needed to solve real world problems and examples
To provide opportunities to apply these skills in practical situations

4. Developing Understanding
Prompting 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

5. Attitudes towards maths
Changing attitudes towards Maths
You can do it!
I am good at maths...

6. Reception and KS1 Mental Arithmetic
The emphasis in Reception and KS1 is on mental arithmetic BUT based on practical activities using a range of equipment:
bead strings, Dienes or Base 10, number squares/lines, counters, counting animals, etc.

9. 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

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 5 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

11. Partitioning
18 = = = =

18. Multiplication Language
5 x 7 = 35
5 groups of 7 = 35

23. Times Tables

24. Fact Families
2 + 3 = 5
3 + 2 = 5
5 – 2 = 3
5 – 3 = 2

25. Number Bonds (Part, Part, Whole Model)
Number Bonds to = ? =20

26. Doubles
10 = = = = 52

27. Halves
20 = = = = 28

28. Commutative Law
When + and X (which are linked) numbers can be interchanged.
2 x 4 = 8
4 x 2 = 8
= 12
= 12
5 x 3 x 12 =
(5 x 12) = 60
60 x 3 = 180

30. Helping at home
A prominent clock- digital and analogue is even better. Place it somewhere where you can talk about the time each day
A traditional wall calendar-Calendars help with counting days, spotting number patterns and
Board games that involve dice or spinners-helps with counting and the idea of chance
A pack of playing cards- Card games can be adapted in many ways to learn about number bonds, chance, adding and subtracting
A calculator- A basic calculator will help with maths homework when required, there are also many calculator games you can play, too.
Measuring Jug-Your child will use them in school, but seeing them used in real life is invaluable. Also useful for discussing converting from metric to imperial
Dried beans, Macaroni or Smarties- for counting and estimating
A tape measure and a ruler- Let your child help when measuring up for furniture, curtains etc
A large bar of chocolate (one divided into chunks)- a great motivator for fractions work
Fridge magnets with numbers on- can be used for a little practice of written methods
Indoor/outdoor Thermometer- especially useful in winter for teaching negative numbers when the temperature drops below freezing
Unusual dice- not all dice have faces 1-6, hexagonal dice, coloured dice
A dartboard with velcro darts- Helps with doubling, trebling, adding and subtracting.

31. Finally… Be positive about maths Make maths fun
Don’t math them to death...
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
