Introduction
This Calculation policy has been adapted by the Penryn Partnership Maths team to be in line with the National Curriculum 2014.
The overall aim is that as children progress through their respective Primary school and onto Penryn College they:

have a secure knowledge of number facts and a good understanding of the four operations

are able to use this knowledge and understanding to carry out calculations mentally and to apply general strategies when using
single-digit and two-digit numbers and particular strategies to special cases involving bigger numbers

make use of diagrams and informal notes to help record steps and partial answers when using mental methods

have an efficient, reliable, compact written method of calculation for each operation, which they can apply with confidence when
undertaking calculations

use a calculator effectively, using their mental skills to monitor the process, check the steps involved and decide whether the
numbers displayed make sense.

know that they can discuss the mathematics, seek help and be able to use a variety of resources and understand how to use them

are happy to share their ideas and to explain their reasoning and methods
Mental calculation should be learned as part of using and applying Maths and is an integral part of developing thinking skills.
It is crucial that mental methods of calculation are taught to children and not confined to starter activities in lessons.

PENRYN PRIMARY PARTNERSHIP - ADDITION GUIDELINES
Foundation stage
Begin to relate addition to combining
two groups of objects
• Make a record in pictures, words or
symbols of addition activities
already carried out.
• Construct number sentences to go
with practical activities
• Use of games, songs and practical
activities t o begin using vocabulary
Solve simple word problems using
their fingers
Year One
Year Two
Year Three
+ = signs and missing numbers
Children need to understand the concept
of equality before using the ‘=’ sign.
Calculations should be written either
side of the equality sign so that the sign
is not just interpreted as ‘the answer’.
+ = signs and missing numbers
Continue using a range of equations as in Year 1 but
with appropriate, larger numbers.
Extend to
14 + 5 = 10 +  and 32 +  +  = 100, 35 = 1 +  + 5

appropriate, larger numbers.

Children use a numbered line to count
on in ones. Children use number lines
and practical resources to support
calculation and teachers demonstrate
the use of the number line.

With practice, children will need to record less
information and decide whether to count back or
forward. It is useful to ask children whether counting up
or back is the more efficient for calculations
such as 57 – 12, 86 – 77 or 43 – 28.

Use the same method as above (partitioning), e.g.
Children need to be secure with partitioning
numbers into 10s and 1s (including the
vocabulary of tens and units) and partitioning in
different ways: 6 = 5 + 1 so
e.g. Double 6 is the same as double five add

÷ = signs and missing numbers
Continue using a range of equations as in Year 2 but
with appropriate numbers.
Sharing and Grouping
Year Six
Sharing and Grouping
Continue to understand division as both sharing and
grouping (repeated subtraction).
Remainders
30 ÷ 6 can be modelled as:
grouping – groups of 6 placed on no. line and the
number of groups counted e.g.
+6

256 ÷ 7 lies between 210  7 = 30 and 280  7 = 40 (make
an estimate FIRST)
e.g.
256 = 210 + 46
210 ÷ 7 = 30
46 ÷ 7 = 6r4  30 + 6r4 = 36r4

Write down how many times your divisor goes into the first number of
the dividend. If there is a remainder, that's okay.
Write down your remainder to the left of the next digit in the dividend.
Continue. Repeat steps 1-3 until you are done.
Answer: 36 remainder 4
Both methods (Chunking and Short Division) are necessary at this
stage, to deal with the range of problems experienced at Year Six.
Children should choose the appropriate method to suit the context.
Where children have a secure understanding of the other methods then
introduce long division HTU by TU and then THTU by TU.
Also, Short Division for More Able Children
Answer: 14 r 2

977 ÷ 36 is approximately 1000  40 = 25
e.g.
977 = 720 + 180 + 77
720 ÷ 36 = 20
180 ÷ 36 = 5
77 ÷ 36 = 2r5  20 + 5 + 2r5 = 27r5
