3.  Addition and Subtraction – objectives for the year  add and subtract numbers with up to 4 digits using the formal written methods of columnar addition and subtraction where appropriate  estimate and use inverse operations to check answers to a calculation  solve addition and subtraction two-step problems in contexts, deciding which operations and methods to use and why.

4.  add and subtract numbers with up to 4 digits using the formal written methods of columnar addition and subtraction where appropriate.

5.  add and subtract numbers with up to 4 digits using the formal written methods of columnar addition and subtraction where appropriate

7.  solve addition and subtraction two-step problems in contexts, deciding which operations and methods to use and why.  The children will show their knowledge in questions like this.

8.  Multiplication and division- objectives for the year  recall multiplication and division facts for multiplication tables up to 12 × 12 – this means the children need to know all of their tables by the end of Year Four  multiply and divide mentally, including: multiplying by 0 and 1; dividing by 1; multiplying together three numbers  multiply two-digit and three-digit numbers by a one-digit number using formal written layout  solve problems involving multiplication.

9.  multiply two-digit and three-digit numbers by a one- digit number using formal written layout

10.  multiply two-digit and three-digit numbers by a one- digit number using formal written layout

11.  This is the children putting their Maths knowledge into action  Using and applying involves pupils in solving problems, explaining their methods and results, and using their Mathematics, particularly to reason (mainly through questions)  Using and applying is used in all aspects of the Maths curriculum  It is where pupils use their knowledge and understanding of mathematics to solve problems.

12.  Let’s have a go at some Using and Applying so you can put into practice what you have learnt here  Puzzles and Problems – Susie the Snake, Three Monkeys  Recipe  Questioning by the teacher

13.  Reasons behind the removal of levels: ◦ Level driven curriculum ◦ Used to much ◦ Negative impact on teaching  Problems with levels ◦ Are they fair? ◦ Impact on teaching and learning ◦ Not regular enough  Benefits of assessment without levels ◦ Clarity for pupil and parents ◦ Support for pupils

14.  Purpose of day to day assessment for parents: ◦ Broad picture of where their child’s strengths and weaknesses lie and what they need to improve ◦ Collins objectives ◦ Teachers will assess every objective ◦ Informs about the achievement, progress and wider outcomes of their child across a period of time, not just a one day SNAPSHOT!  You will now ONLY receive narrative comments and an effort grade in the report
