1 Marvellous Maths How has the maths curriculum changed? What are the essential skills that our children need? Which methods are used when (and why?) How can we help?

2 How has the curriculum changed? 1. Mastery Curriculum 3. It feels different 2. MORE

3 The 4 Pillars = Numerically secure children 1. Place Value Hundreds 100s Tens 10s Ones 1s 1/10 tenths 0.1 1/100 Hundredths 0.01

4 The 4 Pillars = Numerically secure children 2. Number Facts Number pairs (bonds) No work calculations Facts- odd/even, multiples, factors Routine memorisation Doubles and halves As often as possible Times tables

5 The 4 Pillars = Numerically secure children 3. Models and Images

6 The 4 Pillars = Numerically secure children 4. Doubling and Halving Simplest mathematical function Pivotal to fractions, mental calculation strategies.

7 The 4 Pillars Place Value + Number Facts + Models/Images + Doubling and Halving

8 Why do you teach a range of methods? Choosing an efficient strategy is a meta- skill 52 5 = = = Place Value =

9 Addition Expanded Column Addition Expanded Column Addition With Carrying Compact Column Addition

10 Subtraction Counting Up Subtraction (Frog) (Money) Expanded Column Subtraction Compact Column Subtraction

11 Multiplication Grid Method Ladder Method- Hundreds first

12 Multiplication Short Multiplication Long Multiplication

13 Division Short Division Written version of a mental strategy Long Division

14 Be positive! How can I help my child? Ask your child to explain the method that they are using- look at today s hand-out to help! Practise mental mathematics at every opportunity- times tables, number bonds, guess my number, the number plate game etc. Mathletics, KS2 bitesize games I-pad apps "I m rubbish at maths" Or "I hated maths at school."

15 Year 6 Mathematics Each child should meet all expectations. If not, records need to be made and passed up to the next teacher. Number and Place Value Addition and Subtraction Multiplication and Division Fractions Locate numbers up to 999,999 on a landmarked line; use this to compare/order numbers. Round to ten, a hundred and a thousand, ten thousand or one hundred thousand. Read scales with accuracy and confidence Generate and describe linear sequences. Solve missing number problems. Generate and describe linear sequences. Add and subtract mentally with confidence where the numbers are less than 100 or the calculation relies upon simple addition/subtraction and place value. Examples include: 6, , , 72 46, , , ,000, etc. Add several large or decimal numbers using written addition. Subtract large numbers using decomposition or counting up Multiply numbers up to 20 by single-digit numbers mentally or using grid method. Multiply 3-digit by numbers up to 12 using ladder (expanded written multiplication) Multiply 2-digit numbers by 2-digit or 3- digit numbers using grid method Scale up or down by a factor of 2, 5 or 10 Recognise equivalent fractions, e.g. 4 / 8 = ½; reduce fractions to their simplest form Identify simple fraction/decimal equivalents: ½ = 0.5, ¼ = 0.25, ¾ = 0.75, 1 / 3 = 0.33, etc. Understand that if two numbers less than 1 are multiplied, the answer is smaller than either of them. Calculate simple percentages of whole numbers. Subtract decimal numbers using counting up Perform divisions mentally within the range of tables facts using remainders or rounding the answer up or down as appropriate. Measurement Use, read and write, and convert between, standard units. Measure areas and perimeters; understand that area is a measurement of covering and is measured in square units, and perimeter is a length, measured in cm, m or mm Use 12 and 24 hour clocks; calculate time intervals; use timetables. Divide 3-digit by one-digit numbers using chunking. Statistics Find and interpret the mean (average) of several quantities. Geometry Compare and classify geometric shapes; identify circles and parts of circles. Identify positions in the first and fourth quadrants on a co-ordinate grid; reflect and translate shapes.
