Big Maths
Calthwaite CE Primary School
30th November 2015
What is Big Maths?
• It is a daily sequential programme of mental
maths with a strong emphasis on learning facts
and developing speed in mental maths
• It develops core numeracy skills using the same
methods and vocabulary throughout the school
• It breaks down progress in each area of maths
into small steps which follow on logically from
one to the next
Why are we using Big Maths?
• Improves mental maths skills and therefore general
numeracy
• Common methods and consistent language used
throughout the school
• Clear progression from year to year
• Builds on prior learning and ensures children are secure in
their knowledge before moving on
• Objectives are matched to the new curriculum
• Ongoing assessment ensures sessions are matched to
needs of every individual child
How does it work?
• Big Maths is based upon the principle that 4
core skills lie at the heart of numeracy
• These core skills form the platform for virtually
all other maths skills and are known as CLIC
• CLIC is a sequential programme of basic skills
which provides a daily drive to improve
children’s numeracy
What is CLIC?
Counting - in different ways and steps
Learn Its - rapid recall of number facts
It’s Nothing New - apply those facts in
new situations
Calculations - learning reliable and
efficient methods for the four operations
How do we make it fun?
• Children enjoy learning when they are given
the right tools and support to succeed
• Harness their natural competitiveness by
challenging them to do better and
celebrating their achievements
• Use characters, visual prompts and jingles to
engage the children
Meet Pim!
This friendly alien is PIM, the
'principle of irrelevant
matter'! That means that
number facts stay the same
and it doesn't matter what
you are counting:
So, 3+4=7 is true if you are
counting dogs, chocolates,
metres, boys, girls or
teachers! Pim tells us…
It’s Nothing New!
Adding With Pim
There is no new maths
involved when we add
multiples of ten together.
30 + 40 = 70
3 tens and 4 tens =
7 tens
So its nothing
new that…
3 dogs and 4 dogs = 7
dogs
3+4=7
Meet Pom!
Pom is Pim's friend.
Pom helps the children
to learn about factors,
square numbers and
prime numbers. The
space on his tummy is
for multiples!
When Pom is left with
only two factors, the
number on his tummy
is a prime.

Meet Squiggleworth!
• Squiggleworth, the Place
Value Pet!
• What is that squiggle
worth?
• He helps children to
understand how the
position of a number,
affects its value.

Where’s Mully!
• Mully helps children to put
numbers in order and reinforces
their understanding of
sequence and multiples.
• He often hides a number, which
the children have to work out.
Count Fourways
Learning to count out
loud in four particular
ways, rapidly advances
a child’s numeracy
Children are also
coached to count
in ones and
therefore 10s,
100, 0.1s etc.
The four ways are:
counting in 10s, 5s, 2s and 25s
Use Pim principle to show
children how to swap 2s
for 20s, or 200s or 0.2s…
…as well as in 5s, so
they can count in
50s, 500s, 0.5s etc…
…and in 25s, allowing
children to count in
250s, 2.5s, 0.25s etc.
How is the daily maths lesson organised?
• The programme involves teaching the four
different elements of CLIC every day, from
Monday to Thursday
• Friday’s session is used for assessment
What happens on a Friday?
Big Maths Beat That Challenge –
• Total Recall test - A timed test where children answer
‘Learn Its’ questions
• CLIC test - 10 questions relating to concepts taught
at children’s individual level
•Children are encouraged to beat their previous score.
Once they have scored full marks, three weeks in a
row, they move onto the next level

Take a look at some of
the Big Maths
Challenges………..
How do we teach children working
at different levels?
• We use ‘progress drives’ to make children
aware of their next steps in learning
• By sticking to a particular progress drive, we
can move up or down the steps as necessary to
meet the needs of all children
• Sometimes, children will be set different tasks
or work with a TA during a Big Maths session

How can I support my child at home?
• Encourage your child to tell you about what
they’ve been learning in Big Maths
• Help your child to practise their ‘Learn Its’ at
home (in the plastic wallet)
• Celebrate their successes and don’t worry if
they find something difficult to grasp or remember
at first, they will go over it again at school
