3. What’s the point? Overview of changes in maths curriculum

Supporting your child at home

4. Changes in the Maths Curriculum
When we were younger = practising methods
But, methods without understanding = errors
5 years old and I already hate maths

5. Changes in the Maths Curriculum
New curriculum = methods + understanding
Methods (procedural fluency)
Understanding (conceptual understanding)
These must be taught:
in parallel
with manipulatives
at the right stage
If you have a tutor for your child, ensure they teach in this way. If they just learn quick methods, they will not develop their understanding.
