4. Maths at Milton Park
Being able to calculate mentally (‘in your head’) is important to solve maths problems. So, effective mental methods are regularly taught, used and applied in lessons. Children build up counting strategies and develop a secure understanding of place value (what a digit is ‘worth’) and number facts.
Practical activities are used and the use of jottings is encouraged. As the numbers used get bigger, children use number lines and hundred squares to help them. Once children use mental strategies confidently, they start to look at more formal written methods. Children are taught a number of strategies, initially developing their mental strategies, moving towards efficient and more compact written methods which you may remember from school.

5. Maths at Milton Park
The aim is to make sure that every child can confidently use a reliable method to solve maths problems when they cannot work out the calculation in their heads or do not have access to practical resources or a marked number line.
It is important to remember that children may prefer to use different methods. A wide range of calculation strategies are taught so that children are given the opportunity to choose one that they can use confidently and accurately.
