2. Supporting Your Child with Maths Parents Meeting 30 th January 9am Welcome

3. Maths at Keys Meadow Maths Makes Sense Maths Makes Sense (MMS) is a carefully designed maths programme that uses special vocabulary, physical actions and concrete objects like cups to help them become confident mathematicians. To give children the best chance of becoming confident mathematicians, they need repeated practice with basic number skills. They need to know these skills by heart and to be able to use them easily. Maths Makes Sense identifies the key concepts children need to learn to be successful in Maths. These are known as the '10 Big Ideas' - addition, subtraction, equals, multiplication, division, denomination, ratio, infinity, the symbols speak to you and the language tells you the answer. Children are taught these concepts and use them consistently so that understanding grows over time and they are able to apply Maths successfully to real life examples. More information can be found on the Maths Makes Sense website at: http://www.oup.com/oxed/primary/mms Video of Richard Dunne https://global.oup.com/education/content/primary/series/maths-makes- sense/?region=uk#
