Mathematics

All classes take part in a daily, structured, mathematical lesson. Frequently this comprises of a:

  • mental warm up for developing mental mathematical strategies.
  • main teaching activity which is directed at focused and systematic class teaching of basic skill.

 

Our aim is to make children confident when raising questions, solving problems and choosing the appropriate resources.  Where possible, practical work, involving games, structural apparatus and problem-solving approaches are used.  Computers and calculators both have their place in the development of the children’s mathematical experience. Hopefully children will realise that maths is fun!  We strongly advocate the learning of multiplication tables and the children will practise them from year 2 onwards.  As they pass through the school their recall will improve so that they can focus on solving problems.  We believe that understanding maths is very important.  Many adults use one method because they were taught it but do not understand it.  Our approach is to allow children to explore a number of different methods, choosing the one that best suits their understanding and the problem in front of them.

 Maths Day 2016 was a great way to celebrate all things mathematical! Children worked in groups to use and apply their mathematical knowledge to solve problems and puzzles which were brought to us by The Problem Solving Company.

Club 99

In order to develop fluent mathematicians, Yorkley Primary School have created a progressive program entitled    ‘Club 99’ which is designed to improve the speed and accuracy of children’s mental maths in areas such as: rapid recall of number bonds, addition and subtraction facts as well as multiplication and division facts.

 While the program is called Club 99, children begin at Club 11, which has eleven questions targeted towards number bonds to ten and doubles to five.  If children answer all eleven questions correctly in the allocated time frame, they then move on to the next club, called Club 22 – this club has 22 questions in it. Club 33 means thirty-three questions to answer etc…

Every two weeks, children in classes 2, 3, 4 and 5 are given the opportunity to pass the club they are currently working on.

Timings:  Clubs 11, 22 and 33 – 1 minute to complete. Clubs 44, 55 and 66 – 2 minutes to complete. Clubs 77, 88 and 99 – 3 minutes to complete.

An example of each ‘Club’ has been attached below, feel free to download and practice at home in order to move on to the next ‘Club’ as quickly as you can.
