The National Curriculum 2014The main aim of the current curriculum is to ensure that all pupils:
•Become fluent in the fundamentals of mathematics.
•Are able to reason mathematically using mathematical language.
•Can solve problems by applying their mathematics to a variety of problems.
In this workshop we want to share with you how we teach fluency, reasoning and problem solving at Wylde Green.

Concrete – Pictorial – Abstract
Maths is very abstract: What does 3 mean? To a young child it is just a squiggle on a page.There is no relationship between 3 and what three actually means

Maths is very abstract: What does 3 mean? To a young child it is just a squiggle on a page.There is no relationship between 3 and what three actually means
Concepts are introduced through hands-on
experiences with manipulatives.
Students visualise the concept and it is represented
through models like number bonds and bar models.
Students use abstract numbers and symbols alongside
the context in order to understand what they mean.

At Wylde Green we use a range of concrete apparatus to support children’s understanding

Fluency involves:
•Quick recall of facts and procedures
•The flexibility and fluidity to move between different contexts and representations of mathematics.
•The ability to recognise relationships and make connections in mathematics

What key facts can you remember memorising at school?

Fluency – What facts do they need to recall?
Number bonds – Addition and Subtraction facts
Doubles and Halves.
Times table facts and related division facts.
Properties of numbers: odd and even; place value; square numbers; cube numbers; prime numbers; multiples; factors.

Here is the part-whole model. It shows a representation of addition and subtraction.
If you know two values out of three in a calculation, you can calculate the missing value using addition or subtraction.

As part of the new curriculum children are expected to be more proficient in arithmetic with written methods of calculation given more emphasis.
But what is wrong with good old fashioned sums?

Reasoning and Problem Solving
Reasoning tasks encourage mathematical discussion. These include:
Such questions encourage all pupils to think mathematically and reason, but also allow for challenging the more able.

It is central to mathematics learning; the glue that both develops and holds mathematics learning together
It involves:
Looking for pattern and relationships
Logical Reasoning
Making Connections
Mathematical Thinking

Problem Solving
To help children understand a problem we ask them to think:- What do I know?- What do I notice?- If no picture is given, could I use a drawing to help me understand the problem.

Problem Solving
Problem Solving enables children to reason strategically. To be a successful problem solver children have to:
find possible ways into solving a problem
sequence an unfolding solution to a problem
use recording to help their thinking about the next step.
