Welcome to our KS2 Maths workshop Put calculation policy, curriculum available and year 2 and 6 examples

Aims of this session To provide you with a clear understanding of the objectives of the Maths National curriculum 2014 To explain some of the methods used in school To provide you with some ideas of how you can help your child at home.

The main aim of the current maths curriculum Developing Understanding Prompting thinking & questioning Providing opportunities to manipulate, experience and see (use of resources) Develop thinking through investigation Reasoning and making connections Engaging in talk using mathematical vocabulary. Encouraging children to make links and generalise.

KS2 Curriculum Look at the curriculum in front of you.

Each year builds on from the last and unless we understand the progression within each domain it becomes difficult to address gaps in learning. The curriculum is a wall full of building blocks. If one block is missing, then the rest falls down! It is our job to build that wall and ensure that it remains secure!

This is an end of key stage two question This is an end of key stage two question. How would the work a pupil did in Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 have built up so that they could answer this problem?

Year 1 – Count and write numbers to 100. Count in multiples of 10. Year 2 – Recognise the place value of each digit in a two digit number. Recall multiplication facts for the ten times table. Year 3 – Recognise the place value of each three digit number. Use mental strategies to calculate. Year 4 – Recognise the place value of each digit in a four digit number. Use place value, known and derived facts to multiply and divide. Year 5 – Multiply and divide whole numbers by 10,100 and 1000. Year 6 – Multiply and divide numbers, including decimals, by 10, 100 and 1000.

Year 1 – Read and write numbers to 20 Year 1 – Read and write numbers to 20. Compare and solve practical problems for time (quicker, slower). Measure and begin to record time (hours, minutes, seconds). Recognise, find and name a half and a quarter. Year 2 – Compare and sequence intervals of time. Tell and write time to the nearest five minutes including quarter past, half past etc. Know the number of minutes in an hour and number of hours in a day. Recognise find and write 1/3, ¼, 2/4, ¾ of a length, shape or set of objects or quantity. Year 3 – Tell and write the time from an analogue clock. Estimate, read and write time with increasing accuracy. Compare durations of events. Compare and order fractions. Recognise find and write fractions of a discrete set of objects.

Year 4 – Recognise that hundredths arise when dividing an object by 100. Recognise and write decimal equivalents of hundredths. Year 5 – Recognise the percent symbol % and understand that percent relates to ‘number of parts per hundred’ and write percentages as a fraction with the denominator hundred. Solve problems which require knowing percentage and decimal equivalents of 1/2, ¼ 1/5 2/5 and 4/5. Year 6 – Recall and use equivalences between simple fractions, decimals and percentages including in different contexts. Solve problems involving the calculation of percentages and the use of percentages for comparison.

How you can help at home When faced with a problem, encourage your child to ask these questions… Can I do this in my head? Could I use drawings or jottings to help me? Do I need to use a written method? Can I estimate and check the answer? Does the answer sound right?
