Mental maths strategies (KS1/KS2) 1.1 Recognising number bonds Partitioning Counting on Recognising and using near doubling and halving (rockets) Dividing by 4 Rouding, including adjusting and compensating Using multiples of 2,5,10 and adjusting Approximating
Written methods (KS2) 2.1 Understanding how we teach fractions of an amount 2.2 Understanding how we teach calculating • Addition • Subtraction • Multiplication • Division
Written methods (KS2) 2.1 Understanding how we teach fractions of an amount
Written methods (KS2) 2.1 Understanding how we teach fractions of an amount (arrays) Then..using the denominator as the divisor and the numerator as the multiplier For example: 2/3 of 9: 9 divided by 3 = 3 3 x 2 = 6
