1. MATHS AT ST MILDRED’S

2. Continuing on from the firm foundations of Reception, the areas of maths that will be taught are: Number place and value Addition and subtraction Multiplication and division Fractions Geometry Measure YEAR 1

3. Count reliably to at least 100 Counting in 2s,5s and 10s Read and write numerals to 100 and words to 20 Say the number that is one more or less than any given number, and ten more or less for multiples of ten. Use number bonds and related subtraction facts within 20. Add and subtract 1 and 2 digit numbers to 20. Read, write and use the symbols +, -, = Recognise and name common 2D and 3D shape s. Some of the main things your children will be learning to do this year are...

4. A very important part of the curriculum is that we use practical equipment as much as possible. Unifix and Counters Arrow cards Dienes equipment Numberlines 100 square Dice

5. Children in Year 2 will continue and complete the curriculum that they began in Year 1. The areas taught are the same as in Year 1 but with the addition of Statistics. YEAR 2

6. As well as reviewing skills learnt in year 1 some of the main things your children will be learning to do this year are... Understanding the value of each digit in a 2 digit number. Using Tens and Ones. So 23 = 20 +3 23 = 10 + 13 Counting in steps of 2, 3, and 5 from 0, and in tens from any number, forward and backward. Comparing and ordering numbers from 0 up to 100; use and = signs. Adding and subtracting numbers using concrete objects, pictorial representations and mental calculations. Beginning to use other multiplication tables and recall multiplication facts for 2, 10 and 5 multiplication tables. Recognising, finding, naming and writing the fractions one third, ¼ 2/4 and 3/4 of a length, a shape, a set of objects or quantity.

7. Using practical equipment is still extremely important.

8. Mind lines 80 54 + 31 = 5 Your children will also learn to use jottings to answer number sentences. +10 34 44 54 55 56 57 +1 +1 +1 Empty Numberline 34 + 23 =

9. Chunking 54 + 31 = 50 + 30 = 80 4 + 1 = 5 80 + 5 = 85 Partitioning with column addition 5 4 3 1 8 0 Add the Tens first 5 Add the Ones 8 5

10. Together More than Plus Add Total And Difference between Subtract Fewer Minus Take away Less than Times Groups of Lots of Multiply Multiply by Times tables Share Share equally Divide Divided by Groups of The new curriculum also emphasises the use of mathematical vocabulary...

11. ... and also the importance of using and applying the skills that the children are learning. Solve simple problems in a practical context involving addition and subtraction of money of the same unit, including giving change. Using reasoning to solve missing number problems for addition and subtraction
