• To understand how your child learns numeracy in school (focusing on the 4 calculations)

• To understand how you can help your child with numeracy at home.

• Number

• Shape, space and measure

• Handling data

• Problem solving

Mental Warm Up : 10 minutes E.g.: Bingo, game, counting stick, interactive activity

Main Teaching : 20 minutes

Activities and challenge : 20 – 25 minutes

Plenary : 5-10 minutes

• Lies at the heart of numeracy

• Mental method is emphasised

- Remembering number facts

- Using them to work out new facts

- Understanding the relationship between ‘the 4 rules’

- Repertoire of mental strategies.

• Written methods follow on

• Application to real life e.g.: problem solving

100 square Multiplication

Square

Number lines

Multi Link Blocks

Base ten - HTU

Whiteboard & Pen

Know and use number bonds to 10 and 20

2 + 8 = 10

20 + 80 = 100

200 + 800 = 1000

22 + 8 = 30

Use a number line to count, putting the biggest number first

Adding 2 2-digit numbers (without bridging)

15 + 13 =

+ 10 + 3

Add 2 numbers that bridge 10

Add to the next 10 and then add the

extra

Add two 2 digit numbers (informal method)

48 + 36 =

Use a number line… Partition into tens and units

Expanded Written Method

48 + 36 = T U

40 + 8

30 + 6

80 + 4

10

TU

48

+36

Standard Written Method

48 + 36 =

Know by heart subtraction facts for numbers up to 10 and 20

20 = 12 + 8

20 – 8 = 12

20 – 12 = 8

Subtract single digit numbers, bridging through the 10

Begin to find the difference by counting up from the smallest number

The Expanded Method

T U

40 + 3

- 20 + 7

30 10+

610 +

The Standard Written Method

43 – 27 =

Understand multiplication as repeated addition

Understand multiplication as an array

Multiply multiples of 10

by units

Use place value to support the multiplication of TU and U alongside the grid

method

Understand division as sharing

15 5 = 3

15 SHARED between 5

Understand division as sharing

Use known multiplication facts to work out division facts

Reinforce division as grouping through the use of arrays and as

repeated subtraction

Divide with remainders

15 4 =

15 4 = 3 r 3

Division by chunking

87 7 = 12 r 3 87

(10x7)- 70

(2 x 7)
