Title: How to measure angles'''
1Progression in addition and subtraction
2Readiness for written calculations (/-)
- In order to prepare the children for written
calculations, we do lots of work on mental
strategies and number facts. This includes
- Knowledge of their number bonds to 10 and 20
(and-) - A sound understand of place value and
partitioning numbers into H, T and U - Being able to add at least three single-digit
numbers mentally - Being able to add and subtract any pair of
two-digit numbers mentally - Children also need to be able to explain their
mental strategies orally and record them using
informal jottings -
3Methods of Addition
- Children need to know their number bonds to 10
and 20.
- Next step is to use number lines e.g 24 12
24 12 36
- Then progress onto recording with partitioning
- 76 47 76 40 7
- 116 7
- 123
4Methods of Addition (continued)
- Then children move on to vertical addition,
through partitioning using expanded working,
before moving on to the standard short method. -
- 47 76 (40 70) (7 6)
or 40 7 70 6
110 13
- An example using larger numbers e.g. 166 129
166 129 15 (96) 80
(60 20) 200 (100 100) 295
5Methods of Subtraction
- Again, children need to know their number bonds
to 10 and 20!
- Next step is to use number lines to COUNT UP
eg 48 - 29
6Methods of Subtraction..(continued)
- The next step is to begin recording vertically,
using partitioning e.g. 81 57 - 81 80 1 70 11
- - 57 50 7 50 7
- 20 4 24
- This then leads to the standard written method
and will involve larger numbers . - 81
754 - - 57 - 236
- 24 518

7Readiness for written calculations (x/)
- As with and , in order to prepare the children
for formal written calculations using x and , we
do lots of work on mental strategies. This
includes
- A SOUND knowledge of their times tables and the
corresponding division facts. - A thorough understanding of place value
- Multiplying 2 and 3 digit numbers by 10 and 100
- Doubling and halving 2 digit numbers mentally
- An ability to use multiplication facts they know
to derive mentally other multiplication facts
that they do not know e.g. 3 x 4 12, so 30 x 4
120 - Understanding that multiplication and division
are inverses - Again, children need to be able to explain their
mental strategies orally and record them using
informal jottings - Children also need to be able to explain their
mental strategies orally and record them using
informal jottings -
8Multiplication and Division
- At whatever stage in their learning, and
whatever method is being used, it must still be
underpinned by a secure and appropriate knowledge
of number facts, along with those mental skills
that are needed to carry out the process and
judge if it was successful.
9Why teach them different methods and not just one?
- The aim is that by the end of Key Stage 2, the
great majority of children should be able to use
an efficient written method for each operation
with confidence and understanding. - At St Lawrence, we want our children to know that
they have such a reliable, written method to
which they can turn when the need arises.
10Multiplication
- 15 x 9???
- How many different ways can we work this out?
When faced with a calculation, no matter how
large or how difficult the numbers may appear to
be, pupils should ask themselves - Can I do this in my head? then
- Do I know the approximate size of the answer?
and more importantly, - What do I already know that will help me solve
this?
1115 x 9???
- We can look at approximation.
- 15 x 9 is nearly 15 x 10 which is 150.
- In turn, we can use this information to solve the
answer - 15 x 9 is the same as 15 x 10 (150)and then
subtract 1 lot of 15.(150-15135)
1215 x 9???
We can use partitioning.

15Two-digit by two-digit multiplication
Links need to be made to the expanded short
multiplication
16Division
- The main point to realise is that
childrens mental methods are practised and
secured alongside their learning and use of an
efficient written method of division. Children
also need to be able to - Understand divison as repeated subtraction.
- Understand that divison is the inverse operation
of multiplication. - Estimate how many times one number divides into
another.

18Chunking
- The previous method is called chunking. It is
based on subtracting chunks of the divisor. It
is useful in reminding children about the link
between division and repeated subtraction.

20A greater understanding of multiples will allow
this
21Multiplication and Division
- The Last Word
- With both these operations, children who have
a secure knowledge of multiplication facts and
place value will be able to move on quickly to
more efficient paper and pencil recordings.
