  1. Maths Calculations We all know the importance of being able to confidently carry out simple mathematical calculations and how often we do this throughout our day. In school we frequently hear from parents that they are struggling to help their child complete their homework because the way ‘we do things’ is so different from how they ‘did’ maths at school. In response to this we have put together a simple guide explaining the main way we teach mathematical calculations and how these build up and progress through the school. Our main emphasis is on developing children’s understanding of calculations and encouraging children to use practical equipment, visual images and mental strategies. As their understanding develops children begin to record. This guide will show you the ways children use to record. We hope that you will find this useful and help to allay some of our concerns. M. Head - Maths Manager U. Clark - Headteacher

  2. The progression of calculation strategies for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. • Children are introduced to the processes of calculation through practical, oral and mental activities. As they begin to understand the underlying ideas, they develop ways of recording to support their thinking and calculation methods and learn to use the appropriate signs and mathematical language. • The overall aim is that by the time they leave primary school they: • have a secure knowledge of number facts and a good understanding of the four operations; • are able to use this knowledge and understanding to carry out calculations mentally; • can use diagrams and informal jottings to help record steps and part answers; • have an efficient method of calculation for each operation that they can use with confidence; • use a calculator effectively, check the steps involved and decide if the numbers displayed make sense.

  3. When teaching addition, subtraction, multiplication or division we plan for the following; • First experiences need to be practical activities with concrete equipment. • Children then need to be allowed to record in their own ways through drawing pictures and making jottings. • They can then move onto recording in more standard ways such as those demonstrated by the teacher. • Children will need to see number lines used so they can form visual images for the number operations and eventually being able to draw own number lines to solve addition, subtraction, multiplication and division problems. • Connections need to be made between different strategies.

  4. Strategies for addition: • Count on in ones – use practical apparatus • Count on in ones from the biggest number – fingers to nose • Adding tens, then ones – use structured number line and blank number line • Partitioning single digits: 9 (5 + 4) • Partitioning larger numbers • Compact method such as column addition.

  5. Strategies for Addition • Count on in ones, using practical apparatus 2. Count on in ones from the biggest number 9 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1 10 11 12 13 14 9 + 5 = 14

  9. Strategies for subtraction • Counting back in ones • Counting back in tens, then ones. • Finding the difference by counting on • Partitioning and recombining without decomposition • Partitioning and recombining with decomposition

  14. Strategies for multiplication • Repeated addition starting with pictures, then moving on to a number line. • Simple arrays (what do you see?) • Arrays involving partitioning • Grid method • Grid method using 2 and 3 digit numbers.

  15. Strategies for Multiplication • Repeated addition, starting • with objects or pictures Repeated addition, using a number line + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 0 5 15 10 20

  17. Strategies for Multiplication 3. Arrays involving partitioning 35 x 2 30 5 2

  18. Strategies for Multiplication 4. Grid method 11 x 13 10 3 • 10 x 10 = 100 • x 3 = 30 • 1 x 10 = 10 • 1 x 3 = 3 • 143 10 1

  19. Strategies for Multiplication 5. Grid method up to using 2 and 3 digit numbers 250 200 25 partitioned into 2 tens and 5 ones 18 X 25 = 450

  20. 125 X 37 = 4,625

  21. Strategies for division • Doubling/halving, making sets • Count in multiples of 2, 5 and 10 • Sharing and grouping • Using arrays to explain partitioning • Use inverse to link multiplication and division problems • Simple chunking • Chunking with larger numbers

  22. Strategies for Division 1. Doubling and halving, making sets. double 4 is 8 4 x 2 = 8 half of 8 is 4 8 ÷ 2 = 4

  23. Strategies for Division 2. Count in multiples of 2, 5 and 10 4 6 8 10 ÷ 2 = 5 10 2 How many 2s in 10?

  24. Strategies for Division 3. Sharing and grouping

  25. Strategies for Division 4. Using arrays to explain partitioning There are 95 parents coming to a school production. The school hall is wide enough for 17 chairs in a row. The caretaker has set out 6 rows. Are there enough chairs for all the parents? How could you calculate the answer?

  26. Strategies for Division 5. Using inverse operation (multiplication used to solve division) 20 x 5 = 100 100 ÷ 5 = 20 100 ÷ 20 = 5

  27. Strategies for Division • Simple chunking • 198 ÷ 6 • 6 √198 • 60 x 10 • 138 • 60 x 10 • 78 • 60 x 10 • 18 • 18 x 3 • 0 Answer = 33

  28. Strategies for Division • Chunking with larger numbers In Barton zoo a week’s supply of 1256 apples is to be shared equally between 6 elephants. How many apples will each elephant get? 209 The compact short division is: 6√1256 600 x 100 656 600 x 100 56 54 x 9 2 6√1 2 5 6 209 rem 2 5 1 In this example, the digits need to be carefully aligned in the appropriate columns. An advantage of a strategy based on repeated subtraction of ‘chunks’ is that the same method can be extended to work with two-digit divisors. Answer is 209 remainder 2
