Week beginning 25th May 2020

Daily Mental Maths

Daily Mental Maths Booklets are a great resource to help revise and reinforce taught mental maths skills. 

Children should complete 1 column per day (Mon - Fri) in their Mental Maths Activity Booklet. 

Tables

Children are, as normal, being asked to learn 1 Number Story per week.  

Each story is laid out in your child's Number Stories Booklet which they have received home with them. 

Please learn only 1 story per week;

E.G. Week 1 - 14 addition 

        Week 2 - 14 subtraction 

This week your child should learn number story:

Group 1 – story of 17 subtraction

Group 2 – story of 15 addition

Number Work

In this section we will set out the number work activities as we would teach the children each week. 

1. Children will have a mental maths objective to cover each week. This will help to improve quick number recall.

2.  Children will have a written numeracy activity to complete each day. This will either be in the form of an uploaded worksheet or will be pages from the New Heinemann Maths (NHM) booklets which have been sent home. 

Mental Maths Objective

Mentally count forward and backwards in 5s within 100.

For example:

Start at 5 and count forwards in 5s to 45.

            5, 10, 15, 20, 25

Start at 65 and count backwards in 5s to 25

            65, 60, 55, 50

Number Work Activity 2

Near Doubles

Starter

• Revise doubles up to 10:-
  •  1+1=2          
  • 2+2=4          
  • 3+3=6
  • 4+4=8
  • 5+5=10
  • 6+6=12
  • 7+7=14
  • 8+8=16
  • 9+9=18
  • 10+10=20

• Ask your child - What is double 4?

• Repeat for the other doubles.

Activity

• Make two groups with 7 pieces of pasta in each group or something similar to pasta.

• Ask your child which double this shows, they will hopefully say 7+7=

• Ask your child what the answer is to 7+7, they will hopefully say 14.

• Add one piece of pasta to one of the groups and ask your child to say the addition and the answer without counting the pasta.

• They should say 7+8=15

• Emphasise that it was possible to find the answer without counting by thinking of ‘one more than double seven’ or ‘double seven add one’.

• Swap over the two groups to show 8+7=15

• Point out that this is also one more than double seven or one less than double eight.
   
• Repeat with pasta to show 6+6=12, 6+7=13, 7+6=13.
   
• Ask your child (using the pasta) to show you and find the answers to 8+8=, 8+9=, 9+8=, 9+9=, 9+10=, 10+9=
