1. Mathematics Workshop for parents/carers
The aim of today is to share the calculation methods we use at St John Fisher so you are confident in supporting your child at home.

2. Structure of a Numeracy lesson.
Every child throughout the school has a dedicated maths lesson each day. In reception children the numeracy work is integrated into everyday activities and small group settings, in KS1 and KS2 it is a 1 hour lesson. Sometimes these lessons are cross-curricular, where we try to integrate maths into other lessons and subjects.
Each lesson consists of a mental and oral warm up, a main teaching and learning part and a plenary.
