" Now I understand what he is doing when he does his calculations this way , its so different from when I was at school!"  Year 3 parent

" I hadnt realised that there were so many ways to unpick a times table question, Its going to help me too!"

 "Its been really useful to see how maths is taught higher up the school , It wasn't taught like this in my home country!" Year 5 Parent

"The workshop was really helpful for me to see how the children learn in school now  and when I went to class she used the counters really well to show me how she made sense of the question. Ive never seen her do this before but we can definitely do this at home now!" Year 2 Parent

Maths support – Powerpoints

Dear Parents and Carers,

A question that is commonly asked when supporting children at home is how to help them understand their Maths in the right way. Often, ways of teaching concepts have changed since we were at school…

To support you with this we have linked to Powerpoint presentations created by the NCETM – the National Centre for Excellence in Teaching Mathematics. These have been designed to support teachers with their lesson plans. They are a useful tool as you can use them to prompt your child  to talk about the Mathematical concepts that are taught in school. Sometimes children can answer questions without a deep knowledge of how or why a concept works and these presentations can draw this out, encouraging children to look for patterns and improve their efficiency.

To start we have added the Number and Place Value files for each year group below for you to explore with your children. We hope you find them helpful:
