Parent Meeting-Maths

Presented by Linda Larsen, Sandra Clark Anna MacDougall

Mathematics Facilitator University of Waikato @ Tauranga

What’s happening!

• What's different in maths now ?

• To give you an insight into what stages of development are in Mathematics

• Ways to help your child at home.

Strategy is about how children solve number problems, in particular the mental processes they use.

Creates new knowledge through use

Strategy Knowledge

Provides foundation for strategies

Knowledge considers the key items of knowledge that children need to acquire.

Stages of DevelopmentStage 0 Emergent

Stage 1 1 – 1 counting

Stage 2-3 Counting from 1 on Materials

Stage 4 Advanced Counting

Stage 5 Early Additive

Stage 6 Advanced Additive/Early Multiplicative

Stage 7 Advanced Multiplicative/Early Proportional

Stage 8 Advanced Proportional

What you will see in classrooms Whole class “warm up” games for teaching number

knowledge. 3 groups for maths based on their number framework stages.

This may vary. Learning Intentions will be shared with children A modelling book for each group that contains the daily work. Students sharing their thinking with each other Equipment to support strategy teaching Students working independently on practice activities, games

related to the strategy or knowledge applicable to their stage.

How can I support my child with maths?

Use maths talk in every day life eg read letter box numbers, car number plates….

money- change, how much do I need for 3 ice creams, how many weeks will you need to save for, can you estimate how much……

setting the table, baking, time, sharing food, travel…..

Key Ideas to Move Students from Counting The number before and after a given number What makes 5 eg 2+3, 4+1 5 and eg 5+2=7, 5+4=9 Doubles to 20 eg 9+9=18 Doubles +1, Doubles -1 eg 4+4=8 so 4+5=9,

7+7=14 so 7+6=13 What makes 10 eg 7+3, 6+4 etc Ten and eg 10+6=16, 8+10=18 etc How many tens and ones are in numbers eg 67 is 6

tens and 7 ones. Make it with sticks. Add 10 to 67. Subtract 10 from 67.

Skip counting forwards and backwards in 2s, 5s and 10s.

Key Ideas for Moving Children into Stage 6 and Beyond

STRATEGY Students now choose from a

range of strategies to solve + and - problems.

Carry out column + and – with whole numbers of up to 4 digits.

Solve multiplication and division problems using known strategies eg place value, doubling, rounding.

Solve fraction problems using multiplication and division facts

KNOWLEDGE• Identify numbers 0-1000,000

• Forward and backward sequence by 1,10,100 to 1000

• Order numbers from 0-1000,000

• Recall + and - facts to 20

• Recall multiplication facts up to the 10 times tables and some corresponding division facts.

• Multiplication facts with tens, hundreds, thousands eg 100 x 100 = 10000, 50 x 4 = 200, 50x40=2000

How may students solve this problem?What knowledge do they need to solve it?

John has 53 music CD’s and he gives 29 CD’s to a friend.

How many CD’s does John have left?

Make sense of these strategies“I use tidy numbers:

53 – 30 = 23 plus 1 = 24

I use balancing.53 – 29 =

54 – 30 = 24

“I think of 53-29

3 – 9 I can’t do so I borrow a ten. 13 – 9 = 4.4 tens – 2 tens = 2.It’s 24

“I use an open number line!”

29 53

+20 +3+1

50

+1 +1

I use place value“53 – 20 = 33. Minus another 9. Split the 9 into 3 and 6.33- 3 = 30 – 6 = 24

53 – 29 =

30

If I know something, I can tell you in the teacher’s

words.

But if I understand it, I can tell you in my own words.
