KS1 MATHEMATICS WORKSHOP
AIMS OF THE WORKSHOP
To provide parents with ideas and activities
that they can use at home to support
children’s maths development.
To highlight changes to the new primary
maths curriculum.
KEY AIMS OF THE NEW MATHS
CURRICULUM
 Fluent
recall of mental maths facts e.g.
times tables, number bonds. Etc.
 To
reason mathematically – children
need to be able to explain the
mathematical concepts with number
sense; they must explain how they got
the answer and why they are correct.
 Problem
solving – applying their skills to
real-life contexts.
KEY DIFFERENCES
NEW MATHS CURRICULUM:

Simple fractions (1/4 and 1/2) are taught from KS1

Number bonds to 20 and 100.

Within place value, children are to describe the
position as tens / ones.

End of KS2 mental maths test has been replaced
with an arithmetic test, we will begin familiarising
children with this in KS1.

GOOD PRACTICE IN MATHEMATICS
 All
children need to learn maths in a real life context.
As well as knowing 3x3=9. Children need to be able to do the
following:
There are 3 fields, each field has 3 sheep in them. How many
sheep are there in total?
 Children
need to be able to explain how they have
calculated or solved a problem.
 In
the new curriculum, written calculations are taught
at an earlier age. The mental methods are essential
for supporting pupils understanding of these written
calculations.


Telling the time.
The ability to estimate.
To use maths in a real life context.
Cooking.
Shopping.
Practise times tables, number bonds, doubles /
halves.
Support with homework using methods we’ve
shown you.
Maths is about spotting patterns, making links
and understanding how pieces of knowledge fit
together. NOT purely memorising facts and
procedures by rote.
HOW TO HELP AT HOME – USEFUL
