2. Aims of today
To get an insight into how Maths is taught at Smallberry Green.
To take away some ideas to support your children at home.
To work with teachers and take part in a variety of maths activities.

4. The New Maths Curriculum
Children should:
Become fluent in the fundamentals of mathematics, including through varied and frequent practice with increasingly complex problems over time, so that pupils develop conceptual understanding and the ability to recall and apply knowledge rapidly and accurately.
Reason mathematically by following a line of enquiry, conjecturing relationships and generalisations and developing an argument, justification or proof using mathematical language.
Solve problems by applying their mathematics to a variety of problems with increasing sophistication, including breaking down problems into a series of simpler steps and persevering in seeking solutions.

5. Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and Division expectations by end of year group
add with up to 4 digits using the formal written methods of columnar addition and subtraction where appropriate
estimate and use inverse operations to check answers to a calculation
solve addition and subtraction two-step problems in contexts, deciding which operations and methods to use and why.
recall multiplication and division facts for multiplication tables up to 12 × 12
use place value, known and derived facts to multiply and divide mentally, including: multiplying by 0 and 1; dividing by 1; multiplying together 3 numbers
recognise and use factor pairs and commutativity in mental calculations
multiply two-digit and three-digit numbers by a one-digit number using formal written layout

6. Importance of Mental Maths and Fluency
Quick recall of facts and procedures
The flexibility and fluidity to move between different contexts and representations of mathematics.
By the end of year four all students need to know their multiplication tables from 1-12 all the way to 12 x 12
We are practising with a variety of fun engaging games

7. Mental maths games Tic Tac Toe Bingo Maths Card games Dominoes
Snakes and ladders
Fortune teller
Even a spinner

8. Explore!
Take some time to explore some of these games using the resources at your table!

9. Context/visual diagrams
What’s the context? The more real life we can make maths for our children, the more engaged in learning they will be!

Consider whether subtracting from 10 would be appropriate on the number line?
14－4＝10
10－1＝9

18. Correct terminology

19. Reasoning examples embedded throughout mathematics curriculum
Are these number sentences true or false?
= 113
98 – 18 = 70
= 123
92 – 67 = 35
Give your reasons.
Always, sometimes, never
Is it always, sometimes or never true that if you add three numbers less than 10 the answer will be an odd number
Hard and easy questions
Which questions are easy / hard? = = = =
Explain why you think the hard questions are hard?
What else do you know?
If you know this:
87 = 100 – 13
what other facts do you know?

20. Mathletics!

21. Times Table Challenge and Weekly Raffle

22. Importance of the role of:
Repetition
Challenge
Mathematical language
Representation (images and resources)
The connection between concrete and abstract
Practising makes perfect! (Importance of knowing number bonds and times-tables).
Factual – I know that
Procedural – I know how
Conceptual – I know why
