Transcript Powerpoint on Approaches to Calculations

Success in math does not depend
on how many answers you know,
but by what you do when you
don't know the answer.
The whole point of learning
maths is to be able to solve
problems.

1-20 added together = 210
210÷ 6 = 35
Each pile therefore must total 35

Why is maths important?
What developments have been made to the maths
curriculum?
What will your child's learning look like?
What methods are being used in school to support
your child?
What can you do at home to help?
“Maths is essential to everyday life, critical to
science, technology and engineering, and necessary
for financial literacy and most forms of employment.
A high-quality mathematics education therefore
provides a foundation for understanding the world,
the ability to reason mathematically, an appreciation
of the beauty and power of mathematics, and a sense
of enjoyment and curiosity about the subject.”
National curriculum for
mathematics. DFE 2013
No longer do we have data handling instead we now teach
statistics
• Shape and space has become Geometry
• Y3: Formal written methods for addition and subtraction
• Y3: Compare, order, add and subtract easy fractions
• Y3: Vocabulary of angles and lines
• Y3: Time including 12/24hour clock and Roman numerals
• Y4: Recognise equivalent fractions/decimals
• Y4: Solve fractions and decimal problems
• Y4: Perimeter/area of compound shapes
• Y4: Know multiplication tables to 12 x 12
• Y5: Use decimals to 3decimal places, including
problems
• Y5: Use standard multiplication and division methods
• Y5: Add/subtract fractions with same denominator
• Y5: Multiply fractions by whole numbers
• Y6: Long division
• Y6: Calculate decimal equivalent of fractions
• Y6: Use formula for area and volume of shapes
• Y6: Calculate area of triangles and parallelograms
• Y6: Introductory algebra and equation-solving
 No more probability and calculator skills
Higher expectations
Year by year progression of learning
Current Year 6 pupils will be the first
to sit the new style of papers.
•
•
•
There will be 3 papers
An arithmetic paper. Questions will be
context free. They will assess number,
calculations and fractions.
And 2 papers that will require children
to problem solve and reason.
Children will:
•
Become more efficient at mental methods
•
Learn to apply their skills in a range of
contexts
•
Have a reduced dependency upon calculators
•
Develop their problem solving and reasoning
skills.
•
•
Our calculation policy is used to ensure a
consistent approach to children's learning. This
document also allows you to see the different
methods used and taught from Early Years to
Year 6.
All staff teach from this policy which means no
matter who is teaching your child, Teacher or
Teaching Assistant, they will be working on the
appropriate strategy.
•
•
•
ensure children know timetables up to 12x12
by the end of year four
Counting in multiples forwards and backwards
in steps of 10 up to 100,000
Add and subtract mentally – number bonds
•
•
Written calculations – working towards
standard methods
Allow you child to teach you - let them
become the experts by explaining.
•
Recognise maths in every day situations
•
Ask open questions
Recognise maths in every day
