Maths at Tidbury
"Everyone can enjoy the beauty and power of mathematics" - National Curriculum
At Tidbury Green, we recognise that maths is for everyone and a strong foundation in this area of learning is both beautiful and powerful. At Tidbury, maths is a part of our daily life and so we provide learning for our children to become confident mathematicians and life-long learners. We follow the White Rose Maths programme which has a mastery approach underpinned by the vision "Everyone Can Do Maths: Everyone Can!" Our lessons are routinely planned to incorporate the three aims of mathematical 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.
