Presentation Transcript

  1. Thinking is at the heart of Mathematics and therefore should be at the heart of mathematical teaching and learning.

  2. The new Maths Curriculum Children should: • Become fluent in the fundamentals of mathematics, including through varied and frequent practice with increasingly complex problems over time, so that pupils develop conceptual understanding and the ability to recall and apply knowledge rapidly and accurately. • Reason mathematically by following a line of enquiry, conjecturing relationships and generalisations and developing an argument, justification or proof using mathematical language. • Solve problems by applying their mathematics to a variety of problems with increasing sophistication, including breaking down problems into a series of simpler steps and persevering in seeking solutions.

  4. Aims of the Evening • To go through our calculation policy explaining the methods for the 4 operations: + - x and / • To show how maths progresses through the year groups

  5. KS1 • Paper 1: an arithmetic paper (15 marks). This will comprise of a practice question and a number of questions which will be linked to national curriculum areas such as number, calculations and fractions. This will take approximately 15 minutes. • Paper 2: assesses pupils’ ability to apply mathematics to problems and to reason. The test will contain a mixture of contextualised and context-free questions, and real life and abstract problems. Language will be appropriate to key stage 1; word length will be kept to a minimum for accessibility reasons. This will take approximately 35 minutes.

  6. KS2 • Paper 1: an arithmetic paper (30 marks). Questions will be context free. They will assess number, calculations and fractions. Note that the ‘fractions’ strand in the new national curriculum covers fractions, decimals and percentages. This test will take 30 minutes • Paper 2 and Paper 3: assesses pupils’ ability to apply mathematics to problems and to reason. There won’t be significant differences in format or difficulty between the two papers. Questions will be linked to the specific strands and year group references described in the key stage 2 mathematics Test framework. The tests will contain a mixture of contextualised and context-free questions, and real life and abstract problems. These tests will take 40 minutes.
