At Tidbury Green, we are Maths crazy!
At Tidbury Green, we recognise that maths is a part of our daily life and so we strive for our children to become confident mathematicians and life-long learners. We follow the National Curriculum (2014) and ensure that our lessons, underpinned by the White Rose Scheme, are routinely planned to incorporate the three aims of fluency, reasoning and problem solving.
The way we calculate in school today may be different to the strategies and methods you were taught so here are the mental strategies and written methods used by each class so that you can support your child at home:
Year 1 Written Methods and Year 1 Mental Strategies
Year 2 Written Methods and Year 2 Mental Strategies
Year 3 Written Methods and Year 3 Mental Strategies
Year 4 Written Methods and Year 4 Mental Strategies
Year 5 Written Methods and Year 5 Mental Strategies
Year 6 Written Methods and Year 6 Mental Strategies
Mathematical Vocabulary - Here are some key words to use when talking about different mathematical symbols.
KIRF’s
Please support your child to learn the Key Instant Recall Facts (KIRFs) for their year group. A new KIRF will be sent out each half term.
Times tables
Learning multiplication facts are extremely important in Mathematics. It not only makes mental arithmetic easier but also enables children to understand relationships between numbers and grasp more complex methods quickly. In Year 4, children will also complete a ‘Multiplication Times Table Check’ so practise and preparation is vital to improve children’s knowledge of times tables and confidence to answer these type of questions.
