What Is Mathematics Mastery? Mathematical thinking Pupils deepen their understanding by giving an example, by sorting or comparing, or by looking for patterns and rules in the representations they are exploring problems with. Conceptual understanding Pupils deepen their understanding by representing concepts using objects and pictures and, more abstractly, with words and symbols. They make connections between different representations and consider what different representations stress and ignore. Mathematical problem solving Mathematical Language and thinking communication Language and communication Pupils deepen their understanding by explaining, creating problems, justifying and proving using mathematical language. This acts as a scaffold for their thinking and deepening their understanding further.

How are maths lessons structured? Reception

How are maths lessons structured? Year 1 - Year 6

What skills are developed in each academic year? Reception - Year 6 Place value & vocabulary

What skills are developed in each academic year? Reception - Year 6 Part Whole Models These models can be used for solving addition, subtraction, multiplication and division problems.

What skills are developed in each academic year? Column Addition • Year 1 = Introduction to 2 -digit addition in the summer term • Year 2 = 2 digits • Year 3 = 3 digits 625 + 273 = • Year 4 = 4 digits • Year 5 = 7 digits 2, 374, 485 + 3, 375, 294 = • Year 6 = 8 digits • Let’s solve these equations for Year 3 and Year 5 using column addition.

What skills are developed in each academic year? Column Subtraction • Year 1 = Introduction to 2 -digit subtraction in the summer term • Year 2 = 2 -3 digits 165 – 42 = • Year 3 = 3 digits • Year 4 = 4 digits 7283 – 6374 • Year 5 = 7 digits • Year 6 = 8 digits • Let’s solve these equations for Year 2 and Year 4 using column subtraction.

What skills are developed in each academic year? Multiplication • Year 1 = Multiplication through repeated addition ( 2 + 2 = 6) Times Tables: 2, 5, 10 • Year 2 = Times Tables: 2, 3, 5, 10 • Year 3 = Times Tables 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 10 • Year 4 = Times Tables: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 • Year 5 = Times Tables: ALL • Year 6 = Times Tables: ALL • Let’s sing one of our school’s times table songs! 10 times tables song.

What skills are developed in each academic year? Division • Year 1 = Division through sharing into equal parts using place value models. • Year 2 = Division through sharing into equal parts using place value models. • Year 3 – 4 = Bus Stop Method • Year 5 – 6 = Bus Stop Method and Long Division • Let’s solve 936 divided by 9!

What materials are used to support learning? • Bead strings • Cubes • Place value counters • Number lines • Dienes • Objects around the classroom (weight/ mass exploration)

Where does maths appear outside of the maths lessons? • Reception- Year 1: Calendar maths • STEM days • TOPIC lessons • Year 1 – 6 : Maths Meetings • What does a Maths Meeting look like?

What can you do at home? • Mathletics (updates later this week) • Practice the skills with your children at home (teachers will highlight areas to work on during parent consultation week) • Sing times tables songs! • • Visit these fun maths websites: https: //www. topmarks. co. uk/maths-games/5 -7 years/counting http: //www. ictgames. com/funky.
