  2. Maths problem • Find x 5 x 6

  3. Maths problem • Find x Here it is!!! 5 x 6

  4. Maths Problem 2 • Expand (AxB)²

  5. Maths Problem 2 • Expand (AxB)² • ( A x B ) • ( A x B )

  6. What we will cover • Helping your child booklet • What you can do • Expectation-all children should learn multiplication tables by year3/4

  7. Helping your child booklet • School methods • Struggling • Ask teacher/Mr Faria for advice

  8. What you can do • Make it fun • Relate it to everything you can • Use tables, number lines and grids

  9. Make it fun • Use rhymes (2, 4, 6, 8 who do we appreciate…) • Sing songs (published tapes) • Games (buzz etc, playing cards)

  10. Everyday life • See Page 12 on guide • Play games with your child: throw two dice and multiply the numbers, then move on to multiplying the sum of two throws by the sum of another two throws. Try to get some pace into the game! • Talk about pocket money with your child. Help her to add it up week by week, and work out whether she can afford a particular toy or treat. Shop using money and calculate change. • Capitalise on hobbies. If your child is car-mad, talk about relative engine sizes, fuel economy, speed and performance. Watch and play sports that involve scoring, timing, counting, measuring. • Add number apparatus to your child's toy collection - counters, a purse full of change, dice, dominoes, a tape measure, ruler, pack of cards, timer, different shapes - and use them to make mathematics come alive. • Use different units: months, weeks and days, even hours, minutes and seconds. Add other important events, such as a family holiday, and encourage your child to count down to the big day. • Cooking is great for helping your child get to know simple weights and measures. An old-fashioned set of balance scales is ideal. Count out spoonfuls of ingredients. Let your child help you set the timer and count down to teatime! Later on, this is a good way to introduce the idea of ratios and proportions, too. Bear in mind that your child will be learning the metric system at school, so try to measure amounts in grams and kilograms. • Websites:www.senteacher.org • www.familylearning.org.uk • www.bbc.co.uk/schools

  11. Grids and Tables • It is okay for your children to learn from tables or grids (learn 2x,3x,5x,10x first!) • Use the blank multiplication grid as practice • Time completion of tasks so they can see if they are improving

  12. Advice • Use internet (websites attached) • See class teacher • See Mr Faria

  13. Websites • www.senteacher.org • www.familylearning.org.uk • www.bbc.co.uk/schools

  14. Finally… • Good Luck!!! • Coffee/tea afterwards and an opportunity for any questions
