Maths Spring 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!

Spring 2 Learning

These are our teaching points for these units of learning. Please find Knowledge Organisers to download at the bottom of each page.

Money

Multiplication and Division

Teaching Point 2.6

Mulitplication and Division

Teaching Point 3

Fractions

Teaching point 1: To identify and recognise coins 

Teaching point 2: To add different coins (pences then pounds)
 

Teaching point 3: To make the same amount using different coins using timestables to help.
 

Teaching point 4: To compare different amount of money using less than, greater than and equal to.

Teaching point 1: Objects can be grouped equally, sometimes with a remainder.
 

Teaching point 2: Division equations can be used to represent ‘grouping’ problems, where the total quantity (dividend) and the group size (divisor) are known; the number of groups (quotient) can be calculated by skip counting in the divisor. (quotitive division)
 

Teaching point 3: Division equations can be used to represent ‘sharing’ problems, where the total quantity (dividend) and the number we are sharing between (divisor) are known; the size of the shares (quotient) can be calculated by skip counting in the divisor. (partitive division)
 

Teaching point 4: Strategies for finding the quotient, that are more efficient than skip counting, include using known multiplication facts and, when the divisor is two, using known halving facts.
 

Teaching point 5: When the dividend is zero, the quotient is zero; when the dividend is equal to the divisor, the quotient is one; when the divisor is equal to one, the quotient is equal to the dividend.

Teaching Point 1: Name the fractions ‘one-half’, ‘one-quarter’ and ‘one-third’ in relation to a fraction of a length, shape or set of objects.

Teaching Point 2: Read and write the fraction notation 1/2, 1/3 and 1/4, and relate this to a fraction of a length, shape or set of objects.
 

Teaching Point 3: Find half of numbers.

Teaching Point 4: Find 1/3 or 1/4 of a number.
 

Teaching Point 5: Find 2/4 and 3/4 of an object, shape, set of objects, length or quantity; recognise the equivalence of 2/4 and 1/2.

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.
