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. 9 36 4 1 2 12 36 3 18 6 6 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. 4 3 9 400 30 9 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 Learn Its Step Addition Learn Its Multiplication Learn Its 15 12x table 14 11x table 13 The 6 Fact Challenge 12 8x table 11 4x table 10 3x table 9 5+9, 6+9, 7+9, 5+7, 5+8, 6+8 2x table 8 4+5, 5+6, 6+7, 7+8, 8+9 5x table 7 3+8, 3+9, 4+7, 4+8, 4+9 10x table 6 6+6, 7+7, 8+8, 9+9 Multiples of 2 (in Counting) 5 4+2, 5+2, 6+2, 7+2, 9+2, 4+3, 5+3, 6+3 4 2 + 8, 3 + 7, 4 + 6 Multiples of 5 (in Counting) 3 1 + 2, 2 + 3 Multiples of 10 (in Counting) 2 3 + 3, 4 + 4, 5 + 5 1 1 + 1, 2 + 2 Big Maths Beat That Challenge 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 Progress Drives - Squiggleworth Step 5 Step 4 Step 3 Step 2 Step 1 I can partition a 3dp number I can partition a 2dp number I can partition a 2dp number I can partition a 3d number, then a 4d number I can partition a 2d number 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 Thank you listening… Please feel free to ask any questions Now it’s your turn!

Jigsaw Numbers. Get your whiteboards ready!! What is the missing piece to 1000? How many more to make 1000? Because 200+700=900 40+60=100 760 Get your whiteboards ready!! What is the missing piece to 1000? How many more to make 1000? Because 500+400=900 10+90=100 490 CLIC Session Division L.O. Can I use a tables fact to find a division fact? Division L.O. Can I use a tables fact to find a division fact? Remember to: use your ‘Learn Its’ and Fact Families to give the answer. 42 ÷ 6 = Because 6 x 7 = 42 7 Division L.O. Can I use a tables fact to find a division fact? Remember to: use your ‘Learn Its’ and Fact Families to give the answer. 18 ÷ 6 = Because 6 x 3 = 18 3 Division L.O. Can I use a tables fact to find a division fact? Remember to: use your ‘Learn Its’ and Fact Families to give the answer. 30 ÷ 6 = Because 6 x 5 = 30 5 Fact Family Can you write down the fact family for 6 x 9 = 54? Fact Family 6 x 9 = 54 9 x 6 = 54 54 ÷ 9 = 6 54 ÷ 6 = 9 Can I use a tables fact to find a division fact? 54 ÷ 6 = L.O. Can I use a tables fact to find a division fact? Using your Learn Its and Fact Families, answer the following questions 24 ÷ 6 = 72 ÷ 6 = 60 ÷ 6 = 36 ÷ 6 = 48 ÷ 6 = 18 ÷ 6 = 12 ÷ 6 = 66 ÷ 6 = Please… • Complete the evaluation form to help us plan future parent information sessions • A copy of the presentation will be posted on the school website • Any questions?
