Maths at LHPSNOctober 2021

What we are aiming to cover today:

1. What do we mean by ‘mastery?’

2. What maths lessons look like here at Lickey Hills.

3. Pupil voice

4. Times Table Check

5. How can you help at home?

What do we mean by Mastery?

How do we teach Maths at Lickey Hills?

Our Vision:

At LHPSN we believe that mathematics is a creative and highly inter-connected

discipline. Maths is essential to everyday life, critical to science, technology and

engineering, and necessary for financial literacy and most forms of

employment. A high-quality mathematics education therefore provides a

foundation for understanding the world, the ability to reason mathematically, an

appreciation of the beauty and power of mathematics, and a sense of

enjoyment and curiosity about the subject.


Our Vision:

Our vision at Lickey Hills Primary School and Nursery is for all children

to become fluent mathematicians, with a deep and secure

understanding of concepts, enabling them to reason and solve

problems in a range of contexts.


Our Vision: We believe

that all children can

succeed in

mathematics and our

growth mindset

approach is embodied

in our Can-Do Kangaroo

Maths Mascot.

Our journey starts in EYFS...

New Statutory Framework for September 2021:

ELG: Number

Children at the expected level of development will:

- Have a deep understanding of number to 10, including the composition of

each number;

- Subitise (recognise quantities without counting) up to 5;

- Automatically recall (without reference to rhymes, counting or other aids)

number bonds up to 5 (including subtraction facts) and some number bonds to

10, including double facts.


New Statutory Framework for September 2021:

ELG: Numerical Patterns

Children at the expected level of development will:

- Verbally count beyond 20, recognising the pattern of the counting system;

- Compare quantities up to 10 in different contexts, recognising when one

quantity is greater than, less than or the same as the other quantity;

- Explore and represent patterns within numbers up to 10, including evens and

odds, double facts and how quantities can be distributed equally.


Subitising:

Amount not count!

Mastering Number Programme

This project aims to secure firm

foundations in the development

of good number sense for all

children from Reception through

to Year 1 and Year 2. The aim

over time is that children will

leave KS1 with fluency in

calculation and a confidence and

flexibility with number.

Mixing new and old methods

It is working!

Times Tables and Key InstantRecall Facts (KIRFs)

What do we need to be able to do?

The Multiplication Times Table Check

Which children will sit the multiplication check?

The times tables test will be introduced in English schools only. It will be taken by

children in Year 4, in the summer term (in June). In June 2020 it became

compulsory for all English schools, but was cancelled by COVID. Schools were

invited to partake as a pilot and LHPSN did.

How will children be tested? Children will be tested using an on-screen check,

where they will have to answer multiplication questions against the clock. The test

will last no longer than 5 minutes and their answers will be marked instantly.

Times tables at home.

We have changed our maths home learning by putting times table as a weekly

focus for the children to practice their times tables.

Tasks will be sent home on a particular set times table and then collected the

week after and looked at by class teachers.

This will be supplement to daily times table teaching in school. Home learning

is to practice and in school is for learning their tables.

KS1 will start on number bonds and then progress.

Useful tips at home

Stick to one table at a time to minimise confusion.

Start with chanting and writing them out slowly in order.

Then move on to completing the answers quickly in order – on paper or verbally with your child. Finally, move on

to completing the answers in any order.

Keep reminding your child that 3 x 4 is the same as 4 x 3 – this is effectively halves the number of tables facts.

Each table has a square number 3 x 3, 7 x 7 etc. These are special numbers that can act as a memory hook –

emphasise them!

Talk about the numbers as you are encountering them “ 5 x 7 = 35 that’s our house number” – this makes more

memory hooks.

Thank you!We are staying for a little while if you have anyquestions!
