2. Our Aims
For children to be confident and
competent with numbers and
measures, so that they can tackle
mathematical problems
independently, applying what they
know.

5. How Do We Teach This To Your
Child?
• Dedicated maths lessons each week
• Spiral planning so that lessons build on the children's
previous knowledge
• Each session begins with a mental and oral starter
followed by the main teaching topic. The children
then work individually, in pairs or groups on an activity
to practise what they have been learning. The class
usually come together at the end to discuss their
learning and the teacher addresses misconceptions.
7. Counting, Partitioning and
Calculating
• Counting
• Estimating
• Sequencing
• Read and write numbers in figures and words
• Place value and ordering
• Comparing
• Say number 1, 10, or 100 more / less than a
number
18. Calculations
• Addition and related vocabulary
add, more, sum, total, altogether, equals, how
many
• Subtraction and related vocabulary
take away, subtract, how many are left, how
much less is… difference between, how many
more to make…
• Know by heart addition and subtraction
facts
19. Solving Problems
• Making decisions; deciding which operation
and method of calculation to use
• Investigate a general statement about
familiar numbers or shapes
• Recognise simple patterns and relationships,
generalise and predict
• Give explanations how problem was solved –
involving money, measures and real life
context
20. Join
When we went to the seaside I went for a walk on the
beach and found 5 sea shells and put them in my pocket.
Then I found another 7 with different patterns on them
and put them in my bucket.
How many shells did I have altogether?
Result unknown: 5 + 7 =
21. Separate
I collected 15 shells. My sister didn’t have
any so I gave her 4 of mine.
How many shells did I have now?
Result unknown:
15 – 4 = ?
22. Comparison
I had 13 shells. My sister had 5. How
many more shells did I have than my
sister?
13 - 5 = 5 + = 13
24. Measures
• Suggest and use simple measuring equipment, reading
and interpreting number scales with increasing
accuracy
• Understand and use vocabulary related to time; know
and use units of time; read time from clocks; solve
problems involving time
• Describe and classify common 3D and 2D shapes
according to their properties
• Describe positions and directions
• Describe movements – in a straight line and turning,
and understand angle as a measure of turn
25. Handling Data
• Solve a given problem by collecting, sorting
and organising information in simple ways
e.g. Ask your friends about their favourite
fruit. Make a tally chart of this. Then record
this information as a pictogram. Pupils answer
questions on this information. They then go on
to record as a block graph.

30. Ways to Help Their Learning
• 100 squares (cut up and reassemble, mark multiples 2, 5, 10 and spot
patterns)
• Number lines (horizontal, vertical)
• Unifix, multi-link
• Money coins Use real money in shopping situations
• Board games
• Dice, Dominoes, Cards
• Talk about shapes you see whilst out and about. Use words like
bigger, smaller, higher, curved and flat faces
• www.kented.org.uk
• www.hamiltonathome.org.uk Video clips of practical ways in which
parents can help children. Look for 5 – 7 age range.
Lindy. This is an informal session. If you have any questions-please feel free to ask
<number>
5 main strands in the national stratetgy that starts throughout year 1-year 6. Your child will learn to work collaboratively with their peers and become more indepdent in their learning. Calculate efficiently is in B D + E Lindy
Secure Knowledge of number facts + use and apply them appropriately B + E
Count compare + order numbers and describe relationships between them A + E
<number>
This shows an overview of the curriculum over the year. It’s a spiral curriculum so we keep returning to each area. Overview: starts with general picture and then goes through 7 strands Lindy
Look at the overview of learning ~ should we open the disc / use paper copies?
Counting + understanding number: build mental agility
Sense of how numbers ‘fit together’
Knowing + Using no. Fact: using patterns to recall
Deriving facts from known facts
Calculating: building an understanding of subtraction
Measuring + Handling data: application of mental skills
Lindy. We have 3 maths sessions plus spot maths sessions throughout the week. This is often in context.

Jenny and Amy. Explain partitioning. what do we mean by counting… counting objects one to one, what number can they count to, what a number means patterns

Lindy We use a plethora of vocabulary with the children. This starts very Practical, counters, objects moving on to writing problems. We are looking for the understanding. Children are often encouraged to create their own problems, involving selecting for example, number cards, dominoes, using dice and recording these. They are learning how to record these practical problems.By the end of the year knowing numbers that love eachother such as 5+5 make 10 speed up there calculations ability.
The children are given lots of opportunities to solve problems as part of their pracitcal maths. We are going to share ways of solving problems with you. The pupils often have to interpret word problems, looking for the information they need to work out what type of problem they are solving. mistakes, finding patterns, 5R’s etc Lindythe pp
