Welcome to the Year 2

Maths Workshop

20th October 2015

Aims:

•Provide you with support to help your child with their maths skills.

•To discuss the importance of having a good understanding key instant recall facts.

•To show you how we teach the 4 operations at St. Martin’s.

Key instant recall facts (KIRFs)?

Instant recall is one of the most important parts of learning mathematics.  It gives children a bank of knowledge from which they can draw to help them when working with maths in a range of situations.                       

To help develop children’s fluency in mathematics, it’s important that they learn a Key Instant Recall Fact each half term. I would hope that the children practise their KIRFs at least 3 times a week.

Key Instant Recall Facts

By the end of this half term, children should know the following facts. The aim is for them to recall these facts instantly.

Year 2

KIRF outline for the year

Autumn 1 I know the multiplication facts for the 2, 3, 5 and 10 times table.

Autumn 2I know the division facts for the 2 and 10 times table.

Spring 1I know the division facts for the 3 and 5 times table.

Spring 2I know number bonds to 20.

Summer 1I know 10 more and 10 less from a given number to 100.

Summer 2I know doubles and halves of numbers to 20.

Top tips for KIRFsThe secret to success is practising little and

often. Use time wisely. Can you practise these KIRF’s while walking to school or during a car journey. You don’t need to practise them all at once: perhaps you could have a fact of the day.

Use what you already know e.g. use knowledge of numbers bonds to 10 to help with number bonds to 20

Songs and chants- you can buy times tables cd’s or find multiplication songs and chants online. If your child creates their own song this can be more memorable.

Test the parent

Apply these facts to real life situations e.g. how many toes are their in your house 10 x ?=

Time- talk about the time. Make sure you have an analogue clock in your house and that your child actually wears a watch. Ask your child the time regularly. E.g. the cakes need to come out of the oven at half past 4 etc

Operators

Addition - Yr 1 Number lines

1. First number shows where to start.2. Second number shows how many jumps to

do. 8 + 4 =

Empty number lines – Yr2

1. Draw the line. 2. Biggest number at the beginning. 3. Second number is the amount of jumps. 4. Fill in the numbers5. Find the answer.

8

8 + 4 = 12

10 11 129

+1 +1+1 +1

Chunking - Yr 2

1. Draw the line. 2. Biggest number at the beginning. 3. Partition the second number. 4. Add on the tens.5. Add on the units. 5. Find the answer.

13 + 12 = 25 10 2

Partitioning 1. Partition the biggest number.2. Multiply both partitioned numbers by the

smaller number. 3. Add the 2 numbers together.

14 x 2 = 28

10 4

10 x 2 = 20

4 x 2 = 8

20 + 8 = 28

Subtraction –Yr 1Number lines

1. First number shows where to start.2. Second number shows how many jumps to

do. Jumps underneath the line. 8 – 3 = 5

Empty number lines- Yr 2 1. Draw the line. 2. First number at the end. 3. Second number is the amount of jumps. 4. Fill in the numbers5. Find the answer.

I= Information

N= Number sentence

A=Answer

Mina and Ben play a game. Mina scores 70 points. Ben scores 42 points. How many points did they score in total?

T= How many points did they score in total?

I = 70 42 total

N= 70 + 42 =

There are 104 children at Delton School.48 children are girls. How many are boys?

T= How many are boys?

Finally...•Practise is the key to retaining these KIRF’s methods.

•Children should also practise these in real situations (application).

•Keep going with the methods for the 4 operators alongside the application.

•Keep it short, snappy and fun!!
