Maths Autumn 2
We follow a maths mastery approach at St. George's and as such, we are spending a long time on number (place value), addition and subtraction. When we are secure in the Year 1 concepts, we will move on to incorporating more complex ideas into our lessons, always drawing on previous learning in order to make connections. The aim is to become fluent in number facts, be able to represent what we know in many different ways and make links between areas of knowledge - thus becoming maths masters!
At St. George's, we believe everyone can master maths.
With hard work and encouragement, we can all achieve!
Autumn 2 Learning
These are our teaching points for these units of learning. Please find Knowledge Organisers to download at the bottom of each page.

Teaching Point 2.4Mulitplication and Division |

Teaching point 1: Objects can be grouped into equal or unequal groups. Teaching point 2: When describing equally grouped objects, the number of groups and the size of the groups must both be defined. Teaching point 3: Equal groups can be represented with a repeated addition expression. Teaching point 4: Equal groups can be represented with a multiplication expression. Teaching point 5: Multiplication expressions can be written for cases where the groups each contain zero items, and for cases where the groups each contain one item. |
Teaching point 1: For equally grouped objects, the number of groups is a factor, the group size is a factor, and the overall number of objects is the product; this can be represented with a multiplication equation. Counting in multiples of two can be used to find the product when the group size is two. Teaching point 2: Counting in multiples of two can be represented by the two times table. Adjacent multiples of two have a difference of two. Facts from the two times table can be used to solve problems about groups of two. Teaching point 3: Factor pairs can be written in either order, with the product remaining the same (commutativity).

Teaching point 1: Counting in multiples of ten can be represented by the ten times table. Adjacent multiples of ten have a difference of ten. Facts from the ten times table can be used to solve problems about groups of ten. Teaching point 2: Counting in multiples of five can be represented by the five times table. Adjacent multiples of five have a difference of five. Facts from the five times table can be used to solve problems about groups of five. Teaching point 3: Skip counting and grouping can be used to explore the relationship between the five times table and the ten times table. |
Mathletics
I will continue to set Mathletics homework each week. It will be set on Friday and will be due the next Wednesday. It will always complement the work we are doing in class.

Children, if you don't understand something, click the 'i' in the top-tight corner. This will give you an explanation if you follow the arrows on the right.
Times Table Rockstars
The children will have log ins for Times Tables Rockstars. Please make sure you support your child in learning their times tables each week.
