The New CurriculumSeptember 2015

Broad aims embedded in the New Maths Curriculum

that pupils develop mathematical fluency

can reason mathematically

an emphasis on problem-solving throughout

making connections across mathematical ideas

applying knowledge in other subject areas

The DetailHigher expectations overall;

a greater emphasis on arithmetic, and written (as well as mental) methods;

No mental arithmetic tests, replaced by written arithmetic tests for 7 and 11 year olds

more importance on interpreting data rather than representing data

a steer away from use of calculators until the later primary years. No calculator tests

Maths Curriculum 2014

• Number

+,-,x,/ also fractions, measurement• Geometry

Properties of 2D and 3D shapes / position, direction & movement

• Statistics

Constructing charts & interpreting data• Statistics

Constructing charts & interpreting data

Throughout and underpinning these strands is

using and applying

word problems, real-life connections and

cross curricular opportunities

Developing a depth to learning and ‘mastery’ in maths

Progression in Calculating Aims of the Curriculum

• To form a ‘spine’ or ‘core’ set of methods which every child will experience and can be built upon.

• To ensure that children are experiencing an approach which builds on their understanding.

• To ensure that all children experience a consistent approach.

• Newlands’ own Progression Document…

Year 1 Year 2 Year 3+ = signs and missing numbersChildren need to understand the concept of equality before using the ‘=’ sign. Calculations should be written either side of the equality sign so that the sign is not just interpreted as ‘the answer’.2 = 1+ 12 + 3 = 4 + 1 Missing numbers need to be placed in all possible places.3 + 4 = = 3 + 43 + = 7 7 = + 4

Counting and Combining sets of ObjectsCombining two sets of objects (aggregation) which will progress onto adding on to a set (augmentation)

Understanding of counting on with a numbertrack.

Understanding of counting on with a numberline (supported by models and images).

7+ 4

Towards a Written Method

Represent and use number bonds and related number facts within 20

Missing number problems e.g 14 + 5 = 10 + 32 + + = 100 35 = 1 + + 5 It is valuable to use a range of representations (also see Y1). Continue to use numberlines to develop understanding of:Counting on in tens and ones23 + 12 = 23 + 10 + 2 = 33 + 2 = 35Partitioning and bridging through 10.The steps in addition often bridge through a multiple of 10e.g. Children should be able to partition the 7 to relate adding the 2 and then the 5. 8 + 7 = 15

Adding 9 or 11 by adding 10 and adjusting by 1e.g. Add 9 by adding 10 and adjusting by 135 + 9 = 44

Towards a Written MethodPartitioning in different ways and recombine47+25 47 25 60 + 12

Leading to exchanging: 72

Expanded written method40 + 7 + 20 + 5 = 40+20 + 7 + 5 = 60 + 12 = 72

Missing number problems using a range of equations as in Year 1 and 2 but with appropriate, larger numbers.

Partition into tens and ones Partition both numbers and recombine. Count on by partitioning the second number only e.g.247 + 125 = 247 + 100 + 20+ 5 = 347 + 20 + 5 = 367 + 5 = 372Children need to be secure adding multiples of 100 and 10 to any three-digit number including those that are not multiples of 10.

Towards a Written MethodIntroduce expanded column addition modelled with place value counters (Dienes could be used for those who need a less abstract representation)

Leading to children understanding the exchange between tens and ones.

Some children may begin to use a formal columnar algorithm, initially introduced alongside the expanded method. The formal method should be seen as a more streamlined version of the expanded method, not a new method.

tion

Recording of calculations takes place throughout KS1 and KS2

Development of formal written calculation methods follows development of mental methods

By end of Year 4, children should have a reliable written method for tackling all four operations (Columnar addition and subtraction)

By the end of Year 4, they need to be secure in their times tables

Good Practice in Calculation Establish mental methods, based on good

understanding of place value in numbers and tables facts.

Gradually refine the written record into a more compact standard method.

Extend to larger numbers.

Ensure that mental approximations are carried out before written methods are used.

Once written methods are introduced, keep mental skills sharp by continuing to develop and apply them to appropriate examples. Encourage children always to use mental methods as a first resort.

English (formerly known as Literacy)• Continued focus on quality writing• Grammar objectives for all year groups• Focus on reading for pleasure• Read a broad range of authors and text
