The Oaktree SchoolMaths Workshop

AIMS• To inform parents what we teach• To share the methods we use• To equip parents with strategies to support their child

Areas of Maths• Number and Calculations• Shape and Space• Measure• Data Handling• Using and Applying including

InvestigationsEven though there are separate areas they are all

interlinked!

4 Basic Steps• Concrete• Semi concrete• Semi abstract• Abstract

It’s all about children being able to use creativity to solve problems or challenges!

Number – Stage 1

• Counting to 10 forwards and backwards (from any number)

• Recognising numbers• Ordering numbers• Writing numbers• Then moving up to 20 (only when they

are secure up to 10)• Recognising coins (1p, 2p, 5p, 10p,20, 50p)

Remember

the 4 steps!

Number – Stage 2

• Working with numbers:• Adding and taking away

(Using objects, then pictures, then symbols and numbers, and then numbers on their own)

Includes number bonds to 10 and then 20

• Doubling• Halving – objects and then numbers• Adding coins together (or finding a given

amount)• Other skills: odds and evens, recording work, counting

in 2s, 5s and 10s, place value

Number – Stage 3• Using numbers in other ways:

• Using halves and quarters• Grouping objects in 2s, 5s and 10s to

help count• Recall multiplication of 2, 3, 5, 10• Add and subtract 2 digit numbers in

their heads• Money – working with decimals e.g. £3.06 is the same as 306p

Shape – Stage 1• Finding 2D shapes (different

orientation!) • Naming 2D shapes• Beginning to find 3D shapes Remember the 4

steps!

Shape – Stage 2• Talking about properties of 2D

shapes• Naming 3D shapes • Talking about properties of 3D

shapes

Shape – Stage 3• Naming 2D and 3D shapes• Talk about the properties confidently• Naming 3D shapes from a net

Measuring – Stage 1• Non standard – things like hands, paper clips, pegs, cups• Counting how many of each• Beginning to put 2 or 3 objects into an order• Time – days of the week

Measuring – Stage 2• Can put 3 objects into an order (non

standard)• Starting to use standard units: kg, m and l• Starts to see things that are more or less

than each of these – only using these words!

• Starting to put this information into writing

• Time – o’clock and half past

Measuring – Stage 3• Uses standard units: kg, l and m• Knows which tool to use• Uses cm• Understanding 1000g is 1kg and

1000ml is 1l • Half of 1000g is 500g• Time – reads 12 hr clock; adding time

together

Let’s have a play!
