  9. What should we do ? Keep number facts on the boil It is critical that children have a key bank of number facts to draw on when they are tackling calculations, both written and mental, throughout primary school. ‘‘As pupils progress through primary school, instant recall of tables and associated number facts … become increasingly important. Without such crucial knowledge, pupils struggle to multiply accurately and quickly.” Good practice in primary mathematics: evidence from 20 successful schools – Ofsted, Nov 2011. A M Bowes Numeracy and the New Curriculum 2014

  10. Develop mental fluency As you will have heard, calculators will be banned in the KS2 SAT from 2014. This means children need to develop mental fluency in order to be confident and speedy in tackling mental problems, and in carrying out the mental calculations necessary for written methods. “Calculators should not be used as a substitute for good written and mental arithmetic. They should therefore only be introduced near the end of key stage 2 to support pupils’ conceptual understanding and exploration of more complex number problems, if written and mental arithmetic are secure.” National Curriculum in England: mathematics programmes of study - DfE, 11th Sep 2013 A M Bowes Numeracy and the New Curriculum 2014

  11. So what are Year 3 and Year 4 learning at East BoldonJuniors in maths? How can you help? A M Bowes Numeracy and the New Curriculum 2014
