maths
• What are the features of effective learning and
teaching in maths?
• Why are we promoting maths and numeracy?
• What are we doing well?
• What can you do to support your child?

• What are our next steps?
• Any questions and feedback
What are the features of effective learning and
teaching in mathematics?
From the early stages onwards, children and
young people should experience success in
mathematics and develop the confidence to take
risks, ask questions and explore alternative
solutions without fear of being wrong. They will
enjoy exploring and applying mathematical
concepts to understand and solve problems,
explaining their thinking and presenting their
solutions to others in a variety of ways.

think about
maths?
Why is maths important?
What do our pupils think of numeracy and maths?
I enjoy maths and maths lessons most when: I enjoy maths lessons when we play math games.
I enjoy maths and maths lessons most when: It is challenging for me.
I enjoy maths and maths
lessons most when:
I enjoy maths lessons
when it is a
competition or we are
working together.I enjoy maths and maths
lessons most when:
When it is quiet and
everyone is working
hard.I enjoy maths and maths lessons most when: I enjoy maths when we work in groups but I also quite like the individual work sometimes.
I enjoy maths and maths
lessons most when:
I feel good about myself
and get the answers right
to know that I am
learning.I don’t enjoy maths and maths lessons when: Nothing because I know it will allow me to get my dream job as an engineer.
Why promote Maths and Numeracy? • Making Maths Count • To emphasise the relevance of maths in everyday life, as well as their future careers (STEM) • Making connections and identifying relationships between number, shape, data and everyday life • Raise attainment in our pupils
What are we doing?
• Working Parties – Maths and Mental Agility
• Maths Support and Cluster Numeracy Teacher
• Renfrewshire Numeracy Planners
• Mental Agility:
– Number Talks
– Big Maths: BMBT Learn Its and CLIC tests
• Word problems – CUBES strategy
• SEAL – Stages of Arithmetic Learning
• Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract
• Teaching maths in a variety of ways
• Maths Week Scotland – September
• Reviewing our practises and sharing ideas
with our cluster schoolsBig Maths • CLICS - Counting, Learn Its, It's Nothing New! and Calculations
Big Maths Beat That • Learn Its 36 addition and 36 multiplication facts (72 facts)

Kahoot!
One of the ways we make learning fun is to play an interactive quiz called Kahoot! This
game can test pupils' knowledge of any subject the teacher creates a quiz about. Pupils
enjoy playing competitively against their peers to climb the leader board. The teacher
can download the results at the end to show them how the pupils managed with each
question. Are a lot of pupils struggling with their 7 times table? Or 3D shapes? This
information can be used to plan future lessons or individual's next steps.
I have listed the current maths quizzes I have created. Please search for my username:
karenmmcdowall to find these Kahoots! Read the instructions on the next page to find
out how play the games.
Learn Its - BMBT 1 Maths Vocabulary - Word
Problems
(this tests the pupils'
knowledge of what a maths
word means .e.g. 'difference
between' means subtract)
Learn Its - BMBT 2 P5 - Mental Maths 1
Learn Its - BMBT 3 P5 - Mental Maths 2
Learn Its - BMBT 4 P5 - Mental Maths 3
Learn Its - BMBT 5 P5 - Mental Maths 4
72 Learn Its - BMBT 6 P5 - Mental Maths 5Kahoot! How to play my Kahoots! *You will need to log in on one tablet/laptop etc and have another device (for your child) in order to play the game. 1. You will need to create an account in order to login to start the quiz. https://create.kahoot.it/login 2. Once you have logged in, search for my username: karenmmcdowall to find all of my maths quizzes. 3. Select the quiz you want to play .e.g. Learn Its - BMBT 3 and click 'Play' on the left- hand side. 4. Click 'Classic' to allow your child or children to play the quiz. 5. The pin will appear on the next screen. This should be entered on the other device (which needs the Kahoot! app). 6. Your child can now answer the questions. If you want the questions to automatically move on without you or your child selecting 'next', then you need to select this on the screen where you select 'Classic'. 7. Good luck and I hope you have fun!
“It is better to solve one problem five different ways, than to solve five problems one way.” ~ George Polya, 1887-1985
Number Talks • short, ongoing routine to improve mental agility • Explicitly teaches a variety of strategies to help them calculate mentally • Pupils are allowed to record their mental ‘working’ to show their thinking • Eventually pupils will be able to use these efficiently, without recording their answer • They encourage pupils to explore wrong answers and become more flexible about how they think about problems.
Number Talks Can confidently add and subtract within 100... The children that you are about to see both had the above statement written about them. Can you tell who it truly applies to? • Cameron • Ewan

=Teaching Maths in a Variety of Ways As could be seen from the pupils’ voices, they enjoys learning in a variety of ways such as: – Independent – Pairs – Groups – Games – Text books – ICT – challenges
Maths Week Scotland – September 2017
Parents as Partners Help your child with Numeracy and Mathematics When supporting numeracy at home: • Use opportunities to learn in the real world • Embrace mistakes and talk about how your child solved the problem • Praise effort • Play games and solve puzzles together
Parents as Partners Help your child with Numeracy and Mathematics
Parents as Partners – Early Level Help your child with Numeracy and Mathematics
Parents as Partners – First Level Help your child with Numeracy and Mathematics
Parents as Partners – Second Level Help your child with Numeracy and Mathematics
What are our next steps?
• SEAL will progress through to the First Level
(P2-4)
• Continue to work with our Cluster Numeracy
Teacher (middle to upper school)
• Start using the updated Renfrewshire Maths
planners
• Maintain a focus on Numeracy, Literacy and
Health and Wellbeing
• Continue to build on all of the wonderful work
already happening in maths and numeracy
throughout our school!Thank you for coming this evening.
