  1. This is the way we do it (or at least some of the ways). Calculation methods used in our school today. A guide for Parents and Carers.

  2. “They didn’t do it like that in my day!” • Partitioning • Chunking • Number line • Grid multiplication

  3. Which is more important? Mental Calculations Or Written Methods

  4. When faced with a calculation, no matter how large or difficult the numbers may appear to be, all children should ask themselves: Can I do this in my head? If I can’t do it wholly in my head, what do I need to write down in order to help me calculate the answer? Do I know the approximate size of the answer? Will the written method I know be helpful?

  5. On a whiteboard do this sum – 343 + 579 In your head work out £3.99 added to £4.56. Addition • How did you do it?

  6. Adding – Informal Methods 86 + 57 +7 +50 +3 +4 86 136 140 143 143

  7. Moving to a column method. 625 + 148 625 625 + 148 148 700 600 + 100 13 5 + 8 20 + 40 60 20 + 40 60 5 + 8 13 600 + 100 700 773 773

  8. Using a Standard Method 7 + 5 = 12 Place the 2 in the units column and carry the 10 forward to the tens column. 587 + 475 587 + 475 80 + 70 = 150 then + 10 (carried forward) which totals 160. Place the 60 in the tens column and carry the 100 forward to the hundreds column. 1 0 6 2 1 1 500 + 400 = 900 then + 100 which totals 1000. Place this in the thousands column

  9. On a whiteboard do this sum: 601 - 456 In your head work out how much change you get from £20.00 if you spend £14.75. Subtraction • How did you do it?

  10. Subtraction – Taking Away How do the number line and the column method link? +4 +10 +300 +54 590 586 600 900 954 Find the difference between the two numbers. Count on from 586 to 954. 954 - 586 954 To make 590 Count onto the next multiple of 10 -586 4 To make 600 Count onto the next multiple of 100 10 Count on in 100’s 300 To make 900 54 Count onto the larger number 368 To make 954

  11. On a whiteboard do this sum: 45 x 15 In your head work out how much you would spend if you bought 5 rolls of wallpaper at £16.99 Multiplication • How did you do it?

  12. Multiplication Using a Number Line. 14 x 5 1 x 5 10 x 5 1 x 5 1 x 5 1 x 5 0 50 55 60 65 70

  13. Grid Multiplication • Partitioning • Splits a number into its parts (makes it easy to see) • E.g. 14 x 5 = (10 x 5) + (4 x 5)

  14. 14 x 5 (in a grid) 4 x 10 70 5 50 20

  15. But can be done with “long multiplication”? 46 x 32 40 6 x 1380 30 1200 180 92 2 12 80 1472

  16. 46 Expanded Method and Compact Method (you might recognise this one) 46 X 32 X 32 (40 x 30) 1200 1380 (46 x 30) (6 x 30) 180 92 (46 x 2) (40 x 2) 80 1472 (6 x 2) 12 1472

  17. On a whiteboard do this sum: 640 divided by 12 In your head work out how many 20cm pieces of ribbon you can get from a 2.4m roll. Division • How did you do it?

  18. Introducing division with a number line. 29 divided by 5 4 left over 10 15 20 25 29 0 5 5 groups of 5 with 4 left over 5 r 4 This can also be done backwards.

  19. Chunking on a Number Line 72 divided by 5 0 2 22 72 R2 2 left! This is the remainder 5 x 4 Subtract 4 groups Of 5 from 22 to land on 2 5 x 10 Subtract 10 groups Of 5 from 72 to land on 22 14 r2 14 groups of 5 subtracted together

  20. Turning this into a column 72 5 x 10 5 x 4 22 2 r2 72 div 5 = 14 r2 0

  21. 256 divided by 7 Chunking 256 7 x 10 256 7 7 256 7 x 10 186 -70 7 x 30 7 x 10 -210 186 116 Subtract chunks of 70 (7 x 10) 7 x 10 46 -70 7 x 10 -42 7 x 6 116 46 7 x 10 4 -70 7 x 6 How many Groups of 7 in 46? 4 46 7 x 6 -42 r4 When comfortable with this then move onto compact method 0 4 36 r4 Total the numbers of groups of 7 10 + 10 + 10 + 6 = 36 r4
