Progression in the use of number lines
Firstly, children count using a number track.
Then they use a numbered number line.
Next children begin to use number lines with regular interval markings and some or no numbers marked.
Finally, they use an empty number line to record their jottings.

Children then use jottings to record numbers they have partitioned.
(linked to using a number line)
For example: 223 – 53 = 170
223 – 50 – 3 =?
223 – 50 = 173
173 – 3 = 170

They can also use a number line to add and subtract by counting back and up using the
nearest multiple of 10 and adjusting.
For example: 36 – 19 = 17
- 20
16 17 36 + 1

By partitioning a number we can use known doubles of smaller numbers and then add
these together to calculate the answer.
Double 40 is relatively easy: 40 x 2 = 80
Double 7 is a known double: 7 x 2 = 14
Add these together 80 + 14 = 94
E.g. Double 47 is not a double that most people know off by heart.

Using known factsIf I know that 6 x 4 = 24, what else do I know?
How could I use my knowledge of the 2 times table to calculate the 4s or 8s?
How could I use this to make some calculations with decimals? Eg 6 x 0.4
The keepers at the zoo want to know how many monkeys they have. There are 16 enclosures, each containing 8 monkeys. How many monkeys are there altogether? Use your knowledge of the 8, 4 or 2 times tables to calculate the answer.
To calculate 17 x 6 I could do(10 x 6) + (7 x 6).How could I calculate 18 x 7?

Using inverse operationsFor every number operation (+ - x ÷) there is
an inverse operation.
For example:
This can be used to calculate or check an answer:
7 x ? = 35
? - 143 = 29
53 + 48 = 101
101 – 53 =48
101 – 48 = 53
12 x 3 = 36
36 ÷ 12 = 3
36 ÷ 3 = 12
? + 45 = 110

Round up or round down?
150 ÷ 60 =
3 coaches needed Round up
High 5 rule
2 r30 or 2.5
There are 150 children and teachers going on a theatre trip. They need to travel from the school to the theatre in coaches. Each coach
can carry 60 children. How many coaches will be needed?

What key facts/knowledge would you need to know to help you solve these
questions?
James walked from 09:45 to 10:15. For how many minutes did he
walk?
A regular hexagon has sides of 8cm. What is its perimeter?
At the weekend I cycled 2.5km. My Dad cycled 200m further than me. How far
did Dad cycle?

Mental maths relies on children being able to calculate quickly
and accurately.

Please stay and have a go at some of the problems and
activities…can you use some of the mental
calculation strategies we have covered?
