  1. Calculation Policy Trinity St Stephen First School (NC2014) November 2013

  2. Aims • To support greater consistency in the teaching of written calculation across the school • To strengthen continuity and progression in children’s understanding of the development of written calculation • To form a ‘spine’ or ‘core’ set of methods which every child will experience and can be built upon.Once children acquire mastery of these, other calculation methods can be introduced • To build on models and images introduced to promote conceptual understanding • To provide reference and guidance on the teaching of calculation skills for teaching staff and teaching assistants

  3. The Place of Writing in Maths Lessons • Recording of calculations takes place throughout KS1 and KS2 • Development of formal written calculation methods follows development of mental methods • Early stages of formal written calculations begin in the summer term of Year 3 • By end of Year 6, children should have a reliable written method for tackling all four operations – not necessarily a ‘standard’ written methodFor some this may still be supported by a number line

  4. Abstract ‘Just do it’ Visualise ‘With eyes closed’ Visual ‘With eyes open’ Language Developing a Maths Concept Concrete Using objects

  5. Good Practice in Calculation • Establish mental methods, based on good understanding of place value in numbers and tables facts. • Show children how to set out written calculations vertically, initially using expanded layouts (starting without adjustments of 'carrying', and introducing this adjustment slowly and systematically). • Make sure that the children always look out for special cases that can still be done entirely mentally. • Gradually refine the written record into a more compact standard method. • Extend to larger numbers and to decimals. • Ensure that mental approximations are carried out before written methods are used. • Ensure that the understanding of remainders and what to do with them in context is taught alongside division throughout. • Once written methods are introduced, keep mental skills sharp by continuing to develop and apply them to appropriate examples. Encourage children always to use mental methods as a first resort.

  6. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Addition - Reception + = 5 3 2 • Record the outcome when two groups of objects are combined into one group • Estimate how many objects can they see 5 = 3 + 2 • Say the number that is one more than a given number • Record the outcome of physically moving along the number track “Standing on three and moving forwards two spaces”

  7. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Addition – Year 1 6 5 and 1 more is ? • Combining sets to make a total 6,7 • Add 3 single digits pictorially to make a total 5 and 2 more is ? 6, 7, 8 5 and 3 more is ? • Counting along a number track, then number line in 1s and 10s • Patterns using known facts e.g. 4+3 = 7, so we know • 24-3 = 27 & 44+3 = 47 etc 8 6 7 • Number bonds within 20 • Number bonds to 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 Count on one, two, three

  8. Addition – Year 2 • Counting on in 10s then 1s on a number square and number line 48 + 35 = +10 +1 48 83 81 80 78 79 68 58 82 48 • Addition of three numbers • E.g. 7 + 6 + 3 = • Number bonds to 10 and 20 • Number bonds to 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19

  9. Addition – Year 3 • Use a number lineStart from the largest number, partition the second and add the most significant digit first 86 + 57 = +4 +3 +50 140 143 86 136 • Expanded vertical layout, adding the tens first • Partition both numbers and add the tens, then the units, finally recombining • 86 + 57 = (80 + 50) + (6 + 7) • = 130 + 13 • = 143 8 6 + 5 7 1 3 0 (80 + 50) 1 3 (6 + 7) 1 4 3

  10. Addition – Year 4 +30 +4 • Use a number line, partitioning and adding the thousands first 1387 + 1334 = +300 +1000 2717 2721 1387 2387 2687 • Leading to expanded vertical layout adding the units first • Leading to formal written method • Expanded vertical layout, adding the hundreds first 1 3 8 7 1 3 8 7 1 3 8 7 + 1 3 3 4 + 1 3 3 4 + 1 3 3 4 2 2 1 7 1 1 2 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 6 0 0 6 0 0 1 1 0 2 0 0 0 1 1 2 7 2 1 2 7 2 1

How many sweets are left?” • Beginning to look at difference

  12. Subtraction – Year 1 • Counting back along a number line when taking away • Counting back in 10’s e.g. 53-20 as 53,43,33 • Patterns using known facts e.g. 7-3=4, so we know 27-3=24 & 47-3=43 etc • Finding the difference between 3 and 5
