1. Have a go… 2+5= 10-3= 15+6= 20-14= 26+34= 48+36= 98-45= 152+43=
152-68=
2x6=
14÷2=
22x6=
154x4=
159÷3=

2. Maths (or Numeracy) Aims –
To understand the starting points of numeracy
To understand when children are encouraged to use mental strategies and when written calculations are more appropriate
To understand the written calculations used in school

3. 7 2+5=…. Starting points 1+6 6+1 2+5 5+2 4+3 3+4 7+0 0+7 If 2+5=7 Then
5+2=7
7-5=2
7-2=5
At the start, and every time a child meet a new bit of learning, maths needs to be physical and visual. 7

4. Mental calculations… 10-3= 15+6= ((5+5)+1)+10
This is a recall fact.
15+6= ((5+5)+1)+10
This can be partitioned; 5+6 is 1 more than 5+5 so it’s 11 then add 10 more.
20-14= (10-10)+(10-4) or 14 how many more to make 20
This again is a recall fact but can be tackled in a couple of ways.
26+34= (20+30)+(6+4)
This can be done through partitioning.

5. 48+36=
Have a go at 54+39=

6. 98-45=
Have a go at 97-56=

7. 156+78= =
Have a go at =

8. Just like addition and subtraction – we need to learn all the family –
2x6= …. Starting points
Just like addition and subtraction – we need to learn all the family –
2x6=12 so
6x2=12
12÷6=2
12÷2=6
Groups
Repeated addition

9. This is based on a recall fact and can be partitioned.
Mental calculations…
14÷2=
This is a recall facts.
22x6= (20x6)+(2x6)
This is based on a recall fact and can be partitioned.

10. 154x4= x26=
