A sense of self worth
Lifelong Learner
Social Being
From the early stages onwards, children and young people should experience success in mathematics and develop the confidence to take risks, ask questions and explore alternative solutions without fear of being wrong. They will enjoy exploring and applying mathematical concepts to understand and solve problems, explaining their thinking and presenting their solutions to others in a variety of ways.
Mathematics: Principles and Practice
What are the features of effective learning and teaching in mathematics?
Focus – What do we want the children to learn?
Need for a clear framework to ensure coverage and progression.
Rapid recall
Calculation strategies
Opportunities to explain learning
27+5
An Addition Problem
27 + 5
= 32
Needs to use counters or other concrete materials
Uses a split strategy e.g. 7 + 5 = 12 and then add 20
Uses a jump strategy e.g. 27 + 3 + 2
Counts from one (1,2,3,....,27,28,29,30,31,32)
Counts on in ones from 27 (28,29,30,31,32)
SEAL Maths
Counting forwards and backwards- in ones and multiples
Concrete to screened to abstract
2 elements to answers – the actual answer and the strategy I used to get the answer
Lots of discussion of most appropriate strategies
Classrooms = A Community of Enquiry
Children thinking and solving problems
Children making connections – “It’s nothing new”
Children talking maths
Children asking questions
Maths linked to real life
Resources which encourage all of the above
Children confident in key facts – “Learn Its”
Active Learning
“What I hear, I forget
What I hear and see, I remember a little
What I hear, see and ask questions about or discuss with someone else, I begin to understand
When I hear see, discuss and do, I acquire knowledge and skill
What I teach to another, I master.”
(Active Learning Strategies – Mel Silberman)
Higher Order Thinking
Remembering
Understanding
Applying
Analysing
Evaluating
Creating
What will you see this evening? – a snapshot of the opportunities we give to allow children to practise
Nursery games on video

P3 – Active Learning, strategies for
addition/subtraction
P4 – SEAL strategies

What can I do to help?
Numbers all around – practise maths in a real life context
Number facts
Counting forwards and backwards
Explaining our strategies
“I can’t do it… yet.”
