Resources Resources are essential to develop and embed understanding. • Number lines • 100 square • Counters, toys • Games (in class or websites/apps) • Place value cards (arrow) • Multilink
Lots of discussion… ? Explain what you have done. What? • What did you do? • What did you find out about…? • What would happen if……? How? • How did you do that? • How did knowing …. help you? • How would you change it for another sum? Why? • Why does that happen? • Why is that the pattern? • Would it work with other numbers? Explain. Talk about it. Tell a friend. Reasoning.
We all need to work together to ensure that the children have positive learningexperiences. I can do it. Maths is FUN! Maths is FUN! Children MUST feel positive about maths to be numerate.
How do children calculate? The strategies your child uses are shown in classrooms for you to see and work through together. • Children are all unique and learn concepts at different rates and take different amounts of time to fully understand them. Be patient, practice and help make maths FUN!
Cards • Food • Cooking Keep maths practical and havefun! Try some of these at home, using real materials. • Money • Measuring
Now, the FUN begins!!! • Please look in you child’s classroom and explore the different activities together. Have a go! Then visit other classes to see which strategies they use. A powerpoint showing progression of +, -, x and ÷ will be available for you to see in here after you have visited the classrooms. • Please look at the work in the entrance showing progression in +.
Thank you for coming. HAVE A GO !!! HAVE FUN !!! TAKE IDEAS HOME !!!
