Core focuses in each year group
Mathematics in Year 1
As children begin their compulsory schooling in Year 1, schools will
naturally work to build on the learning that takes place in the Reception
year. The understanding of place value will be a central part of the
teaching in Year 1.
Mathematics in Year 2
During Key Stage 1, there is a big focus on developing basic number
skills. That means securing a good understanding of place value, and
recognising number bonds to 20. Practising these skills frequently will
help children’s mathematical thinking throughout school.
Number bonds are essential to the understanding of maths. Children in
Year 2 learn their number bonds to 20, that is being able to quickly
recall the total of any two numbers up to 20, e.g. 5 + 9 = 14, rather than
having to count on to find the answer.
At the end of Year 2, all children will sit the National Curriculum Tests
for Key Stage 1. This will include a short arithmetic test of 15
questions, and a second paper of broader mathematics which will last
around 35 minutes.
Mathematics in Year 3
During the years of lower Key Stage 2 (Year 3 and Year 4), the focus of
mathematics is on the mastery of the four operations (addition,
subtraction, multiplication and division) so that children can carry out
calculations mentally, and using written methods. In Year 3 your child is
likely to be introduced to the standard written column methods of
addition and subtraction.
Mathematics in Year 4
By the end of Year 4, children will be expected to know all of their
times tables up to 12 x 12 by heart. This means not only recalling them
in order but also being able to answer any times table question at
random, and also knowing the related division facts. For example, in
knowing that 6 x 8 = 48, children can also know the related facts that 8
x 6 = 48 and that 48 ÷ 6 = 8 and 48 ÷ 8 = 6. This expertise will be
particularly useful when solving larger problems and working with
fractions.
Mathematics in Year 5
During the years of upper Key Stage 2 (Year 5 and Year 6), children use
their knowledge of number bonds and multiplication tables to tackle more
complex problems, including larger multiplication and division, and meeting
new material. In Year 5, this includes more work on calculations with
fractions and decimals, and using considerably larger numbers than
previously.
Mathematics in Year 6
By the end of Year 6, children are expected to be confident with the use of
all four standard methods for written calculations, and to have secured their
knowledge of the key number facts for the four operations. Their work will
focus more on fractions, ratio, proportion and the introduction of algebra.
In May of Year 6, children will take an arithmetic test of thirty minutes, and
two broader mathematics tests of forty minutes each. These will be sent
away for marking, with the results coming back before the end of the year.
Your child’s teacher will also make an assessment of whether or not your
child has reached the expected standard by the end of the Key Stage.
Assessment
Children will still sit statutory tests at the
end of Key Stages 1 and 2 (Year 2 & 6).
Children will no longer be given a level at
the end of a Key Stage, instead they will
be given a scaled score, with 100 being the
expected score for each age group.
The terms ‘expected’, ‘exceeding’, and
‘emerging/below expected’ may be used
when determining the level or ability of a
child in relation to their academic year
group.
Calculations
Early calculations in Foundaton Stage and Year 1 involve using
apparatus such as:
• Countables
• Tens frames
• Bundles
• Base 10
• Marked number lines
• Hundred squares
Once calculation begins to move into written methods we start
using unmarked number lines, partitioning and column method. We
have school calculation guidance which we follow to ensure
progression through each stage as fits the needs of the individual
children as well as the requirements of the curriculum.
