1. Thinking is at the heart of mathematics and therefore should be at the heart of mathematical teaching and learning.

2. Aims of today To get an insight into how maths is taught at St Luke’s.
To take away some ideas to support your children at home.
To experience some of the problem solving your child will experience this year.

Here is a receipt for some shopping. How much did I spend? How much change did I get from £50?

4. The New Maths Curriculum
Children should:
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.
Solve problems by applying their mathematics to a variety of problems with increasing sophistication, including breaking down problems into a series of simpler steps and persevering in seeking solutions.

5. Concrete Experiences Concrete representation
This is a 'hands on' component using real
objects and it is the foundation for conceptual
understanding

6. Pictorial Experiences
Pictorial representation
Using representations, such as a diagram or picture of the problem

7. Abstract Experiences
The symbolic stage - a student is now capable of representing problems by using mathematical notation, for example: 12 ÷ 2 = 6

8. Number Sense!
Children need to understand our number system, starting with counting numbers, building an understanding of how our numbers work and fit together. This includes ordering numbers then applying this understanding in different contexts.

9. Recalling facts
It is important that children recognise number bonds, different pairs of numbers with the same total.
6 + 2
3 + 2 5 8
7 + 3
5 + 3 10
1 + 4
6 + 4
6 + 1 7
6 + 3
3 + 4 9 6
5 + 4
3 + 3

10. Place Value
Place value is at the heart of the number system. All digits have a value and a secure understanding of this will enable children to use and understand different calculation methods.

11. 1 2 3 9

13. Partitioning
= 700 = =
= 757

14. Column methods
Children with a secure understanding of place value will understand the column method for addition and subtraction with greater confidence.
Understanding place value will help children see the relationship between the columns.

23. End of KS1 and KS2 Assessment
The hard work for pupils does not just begin in Year 2 and Year 6!
These are a sample of questions from the 2016 SATS
These questions include mathematical knowledge learnt in ALL school years

33. PROBLEM SOLVING & REASONING
