Aims•To outline the key areas of the Maths Curriculum •For parents to understand how we teach the children

Early Learning Goals

Number

• Children count reliably with numbers from one to 20, place them in order and say which number is one more or one less than a given number. Using quantities and objects, they add and subtract two single-digit numbers and count on or back to find the answer. They solve problems, including doubling, halving and sharing.

Shape, space and measure

• Children use everyday language to talk about size, weight, capacity, position, distance, time and money to compare quantities and objects and to solve problems. They recognise, create and describe patterns. They explore characteristics of everyday objects and shapes and use mathematical language to describe them.

How do children learn about maths at Irchester?

• Carpet sessions linked to the topic and maths • Cross-curricular table top activities • Outdoor learning and problem solving• Lots of talking • Thinking • Self-discovery • Using manipulatives • Asking questions • Real-life learning • Booster groups – tri weekly maths groups

5 principles of counting

1:1 counting- saying one number for each objects (move from one side to anther or line up)

Stable Order- knowing the number names and saying them in the correct order

Cardinal- the final number that you say is how many objects there are.

Abstract- you can count anything; objects, things that can’t be moved, steps, claps, imaginary objects

Order irrelevance- you can count objects in any order. Top to bottom, left to right etc.

Understanding of number

Addition and Subtraction

Recording using pictures, numbers and symbols

Sharing

Number sticks to play with at home

• Choose a stick- what is one more/ one less

• Choose two sticks- which is the most/ fewest?

• Choose two sticks- how many altogether?

• Choose three or more sticks- order them from most to fewest

• Choose two sticks- take the fewest from the most
