1. Maths at Thorn Grove Try out some of the resources we use in school.
Look at “Progress in Calculation”
Thank you for coming. We recognize that maths has changed a lot since you were at school, we also know how important you are in supporting your children’s learning. So this evening we just want to tell you a bit about how we teach maths, give you an opportunity to try a few activities, and hopefully send you away with some ideas for supporting your children at home.
Do chip in and ask questions/ Lots of teachers here to answer questions 1

2. Connecting 100 multiplication facts
Know your 1s, 2s, 10s and 5s.
Know that these facts are on the other half of the table too
Only learn half the table!
Only 21 facts to know now!
Double 2s to get 4s
Double 4s to get 8s
Learn your 3s
Double 3s to get 6s
9s - one multiple less than 10s
Learn your squares

3. Not just a list of instructions but a whole map!

5. 3 x 6 =18
= 18
3 x 6 = (3 x 4) + (3 x 2) = 18

6. 3 x 6 =18
6 x 6 =36 12 x 6 =72 30 x 6 = x 6 = x 3 =18 7 x 3 =21

7. Practising times tables
Times Table Rock stars (children in year 4, 5 and 6 have log-ins)
“Top Marks” – Hit the button – iPad and phone friendly
Stick ‘m up (two players – each player shows a number of fingers, the first person to correctly multiply them together gets a point)
Times table snap (match the answer to the times table)
FIZZ BUZZ - Choose two times tables eg 3 and 5. Two (or more) people count up from one. Replace multiples of 3 with FIZZ, multiples of 5 with BUZZ, multiples of three and five with FIZZ BUZZ
So we want children to have strategies to be able to work out their times tables.
We also want to children to learn their times tables, so that when they are working out more complex problems they can use their brain power to solve the problem. There will be statutory tests for times tables at the end of year 4 from 2019 onwards, our children have been trialling these in schools. Some children find it almost impossible to learn their times tables. So if you have a child like that, encourage them to use strategies to calculate them quickly.
