Maths parents meeting
Mindset.
• In a fixed mindset people believe their own basic qualities like their intelligence or their talent.
• In a growth mindset people believe their basic abilities can be developed through hard work and dedication. This view creates a love of learning and a resilience that is essential for great accomplishment.
Mindset
So from a growth mindset the point is that it is good to struggle and keep going with any Maths problems. Struggle builds those connections in the brain that help you eventually. Therefore when your child says I cannot do this the important thing is to tell them is, that you CAN’T DO IT YET. Children as well as adults need to have this belief as it will help us all to learn. So it is important to instil children with this mindset.
Mindset
• Basketball player.• How Michael Jordan's Mindset Made Him a
Great Competitor• It was a mindset that was burned in his soul
after being cut from his basketball team.
Mindset.• I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can't accept not
trying."• "I've always believed that if you put in the work, the results will come."• "I've missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300
games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed."
• "My attitude is that if you push me towards something that you think is a weakness, then I will turn that perceived weakness into a strength."
• "If you're trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I've had them; everybody has had them. But obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it."

Mathematics can be experienced through contexts, language, mathematical
images/pictures and symbols.

• So to try to explain.• We might have an addition sum involving the
symbols 4 + 7• Can we therefore not only work out the answer but
have a context for it.• Can we explain (talk) our answer through and check
it using the inverse. Could we explain it to others.• Also can we use images to help us explain our
answer.
Addition
Starting with a numbered number
line…
Different ways of representing numbers…
Combining sets with pictorial
representations of their calculations.
The aims require children of all ages to make and justify decisions in all areas of mathematics. This requirement is at the centre of this framework, putting talk at the heart of mathematics teaching and learning.
Talk expectations
• We talk in full sentences.• We talk so that the whole group can hear what we say.• We talk with the aim that the whole group understands.• We explain our own thinking.• We listen to all speakers to understand.• We repeat and rephrase explanations made by others.• We ask questions to clarify understanding.• We say whether we agree or disagree and explain why.
Language of addition
• plus • more than• add• total
• sum• make• altogether• make• altogether
Counting on..Using blank
number lines…
Language of Subtraction• take
away• differenc
e • less than• fewer
• minus• leave • left over
Language of multiplication
• lots of• times• multiply• multiplied by• groups of• multiples of
5 10 15 20
Images of multiplication..
Language of division
• shared between• grouped into• divided by• double• half• share• equal groups of
Connective model
• Can you do this for?
• 1/3 ¼ =
4 operations
AdditionSubtraction
Multiplication Division
Need to develop an understanding of the relationship between the operations
AimsAll pupils should: solve problems reason mathematically become fluent in the fundamentals of mathematics
Four themes• number sense • additive reasoning•multiplicative reasoning •geometric reasoning
Levels and Age Related
• We used to judge children on the levels they got.• We now judge them according to Age Related
Expectations.• The curriculum has got significantly harder.• Maths will expect more at an earlier age. There will be
a requirement for pupils to learn their 12 times table by the age of nine. Basic fractions, such as half or a quarter, will be taught to five-year-olds. By the end of Year 2, pupils should know the number bonds to 20 and be precise in using and understanding place value
Added extras!
• Parents leaflets.• Maths blog.
To end with.
