 Find out how to help your child with Maths calculations  Understand how children use and apply their knowledge in Maths  New assessment procedures in Maths  What we are doing about Maths homework.

 Addition and Subtraction – objectives for the year  add and subtract numbers mentally, including: three-digit number and ones, three-digit number and tens, three- digit number and hundreds  add and subtract numbers with up to three digits, using formal written methods of columnar addition and subtraction  solve problems, including missing number problems, using number facts, place value, and more complex addition and subtraction.

 add and subtract numbers with up to three digits, using formal written methods of columnar addition and subtraction – the column method is new in Year 3.

 add and subtract numbers with up to three digits, using formal written methods of columnar addition and subtraction

 Multiplication and division- objectives for the year  recall and use multiplication and division facts for the 3, 4 and 8 multiplication tables  calculate mathematical statements for multiplication and division using the multiplication tables that they know, including for two-digit numbers times one-digit numbers, using mental and progressing to formal written methods  solve problems, including missing number problems, involving multiplication and division.

 calculate mathematical statements for multiplication and division using the multiplication tables that they know, including for two-digit numbers times one-digit numbers, using mental and progressing to formal written methods – first time these methods are introduced.

322 ÷7 (Thinking: How many 7s are in 322?) (10 x 7) (Thinking: what the largest multiple of 7 I know....? 10 lots of 7 is 70!) (10 x 7) (10 x 7) (10 x 7) (6 x 7) (Thinking: How many lots of 7 are left to make 42? 6 lots of 7!) (Thinking: How many lots of 7 altogether made 322? = 46 lots of 7) 322 ÷ 7 = 46

 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.

 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

 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

 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

 We have recognised at times Sumdog can be quite difficult for pupils  Feedback from parents and teachers  Element of challenge  Who to contact if you are unhappy with homework  Excellent Maths websites to help your children at home:  Multiplication video
