3. Aims
Enable you to understand the changes occurring in mathematics due to the new curriculum
Provide you with a greater understanding of how mathematics is taught in school and progression of addition and subtraction through Key Stage 2.
Enable you to see the types of different questions children are asked in their assessments.
See the importance of mental mathematical skills and the strategies children are taught.
Help you understand how you can help your child at home.

4. The New Curriculum - More cross curricular
Greater links with Computing
In each year group the expectations are higher
Problem Solving no longer taught discretely but embedded within each area/domain of mathematics
Divided into Lower Key Stage 2 and Upper Key Stage 2
The 2016 assessment tests will be based on the new curriculum content

5. The New Curriculum New Expectations By the end of year 4 pupils should
memorise their multiplication tables up to and including the 12 times table
show precision and fluency in their work
By the end of year 6 pupils should
- Be fluent in written methods for all four operations, including long multiplication and division, and in working with fractions, decimals and percentages.
-Pupils should read, spell and pronounce mathematical vocabulary correctly.

6. Multiplication and Division Calculation Methods and Progression

7. The 4 operations Why so many methods?
- Children are entitled to be taught and to acquire secure mental methods and efficient written methods of calculation for each operation which they know they can rely on when mental methods are not appropriate. We teach them a range so they can choose the one they prefer and proves most accurate for them.

8. Multiplication Multiplication – Lower & Upper KS2 Grid Method:
43 X X 32 X
3 0 2
1 0 0
2 0 0
2 0
6 0 0
4 0
6 4 0 4
1 5 0 8
1 5 8 X 6
4 0
2 4 0 3
1 8
2 5 8
In lower KS2 Chn are encouraged to use arrays to help them work out multiplication.
Chn also practice multiplying numbers by 10, 100 & 1,000 using the place value chart
Chn partition the numbers and then multiply each part separately. The answers are then added together.
Dienes apparatus is used to show this visually.

9. Multiplication Multiplication – Lower & Upper KS2
Expanded Short Method:
32 x 3
30 + 2
3 x
6 = 2 x 3
90 = 30 x 3 96
This method is taught before the short method

10. Multiplication Multiplication – (Lower) & Upper KS2
Short Multiplication:
4 3 X 6
4 3
6 x
2 5 8 1
Once again children have to be secure with their place value and know they are carrying ‘ten’ not one.

11. Multiplication Multiplication – Upper KS2
Short Multiplication for 2-digit x 2 digit:
5 6 x 2 7 =
5 6
2 7 x
3 9 2
When multiplying by the ten (20 in this example) children must remember to put the place holder ‘0’ in the units column. 4 1

12. Multiplication Now it’s your turn! 1. Calculate 602 × 57
Level 5 Questions

13. Division Division – Lower KS2 Grouping using multiplication knowledge:
This method uses children’s understanding on times tables and links to their mental calculations.
e.g. 43 ÷ 7 =
I know 6 X 7 = 42 so …
43 ÷ 7 = 6 remainder 1
Chn practice using corresponding division facts of x tables

14. Division Division – Lower KS2 Grouping using jottings
This enables the introduction of remainders 14

15. Division Division – Lower KS2
Division as repeated subtraction ÷ 3 = 6 -3 -3 -3 -3 -3 -3
The understanding of division as repeated subtraction helps chn with the chunking method 15

16. Division Division – (Lower) & Upper KS2 Expanded Method – Chunking:
87 ÷ 6 =
6 8 7
x 10
2 7
x 4 3
Answer = 14 r 3
This method is based on subtracting multiples of the divisor or ‘chunks’.
Initially they subtract several chunks but with practice children will look at the biggest multiples of the divisor that they can subtract.

17. Division Division – (Lower) & Upper KS2
Expanded Method – Chunking HTU ÷ U:
191 ÷ 6 =
x 20
7 1
x 10
1 1
x 1 5
Answer = 31 r 5
Children building up confidence, using their multiplication knowledge, to subtract larger ‘chunks’.

18. Division Division – (Lower KS2) & Upper KS2 Short Division - TU ÷ U:
81 ÷ 3 =
2 7
3 8 1
Answer = 27
This method is the next step after chunking. It is a more compact method.
Links to chunking:
3 x 20 = 60
80 – 60 = 20 which the ‘2’ represents
3 x 7 = 21
No remainder 2

19. Division Division – Upper KS2 Short Division – HTU ÷ U: 291 ÷ 3 = 9 7
9 7
Answer = 97 2
This method links on from partitioning but is a more compact method.

20. Division Division – Upper KS2 (Year 6) Long Division – HTU ÷ U:
560 ÷ 24 =
2 3
x 20
8 0
x 3 8
Answer = 23 r 8 4 1 ⁄
This method links back to chunking and is used to reduce errors and children are using times tables they are unfamiliar with.

21. Division Now it’s your turn! 1. Calculate 816 ÷ 24
2. A school buys some yo-yos as prizes.
The yo-yos cost £4.25 each.
The school has £40 to spend on prizes.
They buy as many yo-yos as they can.
How much money is left?
Level 5 Questions

22. Mental Mathematics
It is essential children have secure knowledge and recall of mental facts including:
Place Value including decimals
Number bonds
Times tables from 0 to 12!
Corresponding division facts
Rounding to enable estimation of answers

23. Mental Mathematics Mental Mathematic Strategies:
Use number bonds to 10, 20 and 100 transferable to 1,000 and decimals
Multiplication and division by 10, 100, 1,000, 0.1
Use doubles and near doubles
Partition into thousands, hundreds, tens and units
Adding near multiples of 10. Adding the multiple then add or subtract 1
Subtracting near multiples of 10. Subtracting the multiple then subtracting or adding 1.
These are transferable to multiples of 100, 1,000 etc.

24. Using and applying knowledge and skills
Problem Solving
Using and applying knowledge and skills
Problem solving involves chn using and applying the knowledge and skills they have been taught. Chn are taught to use their RUCSAC to help them solve problems.
Problem solving ensures chn:
Understanding mathematical vocabulary
Applying strategies taught
Explaining process
Reasoning for why doing that
Justifying answer
