Mental MathsWe use a range of interactive
web sites, apps, and games to make
speeding up and recalling facts fun and exciting!
Mental MathsChildren are encouraged to
count in different ways and to calculate mentally.
Mental maths activities are snappy,
pacey, fun and dynamic.
Mental skills are taught and are practised and reviewed
constantly.
Resources
Number lines100 square Counters, toys
Games (in class or websites/apps)Place value cards (arrow)Multilink
Resources are essential to
develop and embed understanding.
What?What did you do?What did you find out about…?What would happen if……?
How?How did you do that?How did knowing …. help you?How would you change it for another sum?
Why?Why does that happen?Why is that the pattern?
Would it work with other numbers?
Lots of discussion…
Children MUST feel positive about maths
to be numerate.
We all need to work together to ensure that the children have
positive learning experiences.
The strategies your child uses are shown in classrooms for you to see and work through together.
Children are all unique and learn concepts at different rates and take different amounts of time to fully understand them.
Be patient, practice and help make maths FUN!
How do children calculate?
Cards
Try some of these at home, using real materials.
Money
Measuring
Keep maths practical and have
fun!
Food
Cooking
Please look in you child’s classroom and explore the different activities together.
Have a go! Then visit other classes to see which
strategies they use.
A powerpoint showing progression of +, -, x and ÷ will be available for you to see in here
after you have visited the classrooms.
Please look at the work in the entrance showing progression in +.
Now, the FUN
begins!!!
