1. Maths Curriculum Aims: How is the new curriculum different?
What happens in each year group?
What can I do as a parent to support my child?

2. The New Curriculum aims:
become fluent in the fundamentals of mathematics, including through varied and frequent practice with increasingly complex problems over time, so that pupils develop conceptual understanding and the ability to recall and apply knowledge rapidly and accurately
reason mathematically by following a line of enquiry, conjecturing relationships and generalisations, and developing an argument, justification or proof using mathematical language
can solve problems by applying their mathematics to a variety of routine and non-routine problems with increasing sophistication, including breaking down problems into a series of simpler steps and persevering in seeking solutions

3. Aims of the new curriculum

Use factor pairs to solve mental calculations eg 9 x 7 = 3 x 3 x 7
Use the standard short multiplication (3 digit x 2 digit)
Know all times tables!!!
Use known facts: eg 15 x 7 could be broken into 10 x 7 = 70 and 5 x 7 =35 so 15 x 7 = 77
Model short multiplication

10. Year 4 continued Use hundredths including counting in hundredths

Used in class and at home
Homework set using it from Y1 upwards
Recognised across the world as a fantastic resource to support especially the fluency and speed of recall.
Children will be given/ have been given logins and are excited about the resource.

18. Other ideas… Conker maths – KIRFs Maths at home ideas
Positive talk at home about maths
Around the room, there are examples of tests papers – please do not take
Also examples of resources we would use to help us.

19. Thank you
Any questions, please don’t hesitate to speak to your child’s class teacher.
Alternatively you can always contact me via the school office.
