Transcript Power Point Presentation

What can you do to support your child
at home?
New calculation policy
 The new curriculum has been implemented
across both Key stages.
 Throughout KS1 (UFS, Year 1 & Year 2) maths is
taught through using practical equipment. This
helps them understand the early concepts of
maths and allows them (when they are ready) to
move onto formal written methods.

Children are taught the
early concepts using
practical activities
before moving on to the
more concrete, formal
methods. These written
calculation methods are
taken from the new
curriculum.
The calculation policy
has been developed
and changed, so
children start with the
early concepts, and
then build on these
skills as they progress
through school.
Problem solving skills
 To
encourage independent learning
year 2 and KS2 (year 3, 4, 5 & 6) all
carryout fortnightly independent
problem solving activities.
 This helps children apply the formal
written calculation methods in a
context.
Through using
problems,
children can
apply taught skills
to answer maths
puzzles.
Children are now expected to
use and apply problem solving
skills and investigative skills.
Because of these changes
children are being taught the
problem solving skills in lessons
more regularly, and then they
independently apply these in
their maths assessment books.
This also develops the
mathematical vocabulary they
use.
There’s now more time
and opportunities for
children to discuss
puzzles, and ways to
solve these puzzles
through regular planned
activities.
Year 2 SATs
Use two of these numbers each time to make an answer of
240
2
10
5
48
24.
120
1
mark each for any two of these:
240 ÷ 10 = 24
48 ÷ 2 = 24
120 ÷ 5 = 24
 If all three solutions are given, mark
the two in the boxes (or the first
two) only.
Here are three digit cards
Choose two cards each time to make the following two-digit numbers.
The first one is done for you.
an even number
a prime number
a common factor of 60 and 90
a common multiple of 5 and 13
All three correct

In each classroom there will be activities out to
model the use of our calculation policy.
 In UFS children will be using numbers and
equipment to support the early concept of
number.
 Year 1 & Year 2 will be adding and subtracting
using the early calculation methods.
 Year 3 & 4 will be multiplying, following the
formal calculation methods.
 Year 5 & 6 will be multiplying and dividing using
the formal methods.

 You
can go to any classroom to observe what
the children are doing.
 Every 10 minutes the bell will ring so you can
move if you choose to.
 After 3 changes of room the bell will ring
twice. Then you are invited back into the
hall where you will receive a pack. This pack
will contain a copy of the calculation policy
and 2 booklets with ideas for supporting your
child at home.
