Communicating

Pattern Spotting
Children must have concrete experiences that enable them to create visual images. They should be encouraged to articulate their learning and to become pattern spotters.

5. What numbers mean
What does number 3 mean
Take number 3 and show in all its forms
What do you think we mean by the number 3? Take answers
Children need to shift from thinking about 3 as an adjective telling how many? To a value – with a label – a 3.

6. Now we are ready to count!
How do we count?
Use our fingers? Count anything – apples, pencils, people etc
Put in a row to count so you are accurate.
Count in 2’s 5’s 10’s – think about counting money. Not always counting in 1’a
Counting from 0.
Counting on and back from any number.
What about negative numbers?
Counting fractions and decimals.
Greater than and less than
Which number comes before and after.

7. Which is the biggest number?
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10
Egyptian numbers first – KM – our decimal system
Place value – how many tens, hundreds etc. – place value hats
Which is the biggest number? Or which has the highest value? Need an order and know a position – need a structure – numbers run from 0- infinity – use numberlines to help.

10. Calculations and operations.
What are these?
4 operations addition, subtraction, multiplication and division – relationships between them.
Commutative law – what does that mean?
Vocabulary – You have all got an operation – write down all the other words, language for this. Bomb timer – 1 minute.

Addition
The number line models the counting on that children may be doing in their heads. It supports their thinking.
You will see this type of recording in children’s books from KS1 onwards.
The second example illustrates moving towards a more efficient method. Something that the parents may have done in their calculations earlier.
To fit in with your school’s policy you need to chose one of the next 2 slides and delete the other:
Addition using the vertical expansion
Addition using the horizontal expansion

17. Subtraction
Imran has 43 conkers; he gives 24 away to his friends. How many does he have left?
43 – 24 = 43 -1 19 20 -3 23
-10 33
-10
(Animated slide)
This slide demonstrates to parents the process of using an empty number line to support children’s thinking in subtraction.
It might well be how they (the parents) would work this mentally using an imaginary number line.
Children will experience this type of recording from Y2. The jumps are below the line to show ‘counting back’.
19 conkers

18. Subtraction as finding the difference5 12
Difference

19. Subtraction - Finding the difference on a number line
Sam has saved 93p, Amy has 55p. How much more money does Sam have than Amy?
93 – 55 = 60 +5 90
+30 93 +3 55
(Animated slide)
Another subtraction calculation, this time involving difference.
Here the child has counted on from 55 to 93, recording the jumps on a number line. Having a visual image like this supports the child with what is going on in their head. The big jump of 30 may initially be made with three jumps of 10.
38p more

20. Subtraction
8.23 – 4.55 =
3.68
+0.23
+0.45 +3
The same method but using decimals. Counting on or complementary addition is used.
This is one of the reasons that children work on complements, as mentioned earlier.
Putting one number underneath the other would result in many children giving an answer of 4.12.

42. Problems to solve
Tom has a bag of 34 marbles. His friend gives him 28 more.
How many does he have now? 34 28
Ask participants to use the bar(s) to solve the problems, allow them to record in their own way and then compare how they drew the bars
For problem 2 you might discuss whether 1 or 2 bars were drawn to illustrate the concept of difference 62

If Sally has 36 marbles, how many are there altogether? 60

46. KS2 2012
Ask participants to solve this problem and ask how hard Y6 children found this?
The majority of children found this difficult – even those at L5!
Explain that we will explore representations that might help children to more easily access the structure of the mathematics and solve the problem.

Ralph posts 40 letters, some of which are first class, and some are second.
He posts four times as many second class letters as first.
How many of each class of letter does he post?
