Maths

I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength. Philippians 4v13

Maths: Ideas for tasks and activities to support Maths learning at home.

Welcome to ACE’S virtual maths page.

Each week, Years 1-6 will be set a challenge in the style of a ‘convince me’ question.

This style of question is designed to encourage pupils’ thinking, reasoning and

mathematical discussion skills.

The strategy “convince me” defers judgment on a pupil’s answer, encouraging

sense-making and fostering pupil “ownership” of mathematics.

When having a go at the challenges think about how you can prove your answer,

you could:

Write a sentence to explain

Show your working out by drawing: tens frames, number lines, numicon, place

value counters, diennes, part-whole models, bar-models or whichever way

you prefer.

Create a poster for a rule/rhyme to help others.

We hope you enjoy the challenges; these will be uploaded every Monday!

Reception

There will be a different craft or practical activity uploaded each Monday to help

reinforce maths skills.

Others thing you can do at home to practise maths skills:

Maths is all around us, so look for opportunities for you to do some problem solving

together, making connections between what your child is learning at school and the world

around them.

Follow a recipe- measuring ingredients, fractions, percentages.

Daily weather- reading the thermometer, talking about whether the temperature

was higher or lower on different days and what the average temperature was.

Shopping- planning a budget, looking at prices of items, talking about which coins or

notes to pay with and how much change would be needed.

Planning a journey- prices for travel, timings of the day, distance to the destination.

Cooking- counting ingredients, timings to cook, fractions, percentages, price of ingre-

dients, budgeting.

Exercise- Counting repetitions of different movements, using a stopwatch, aiming to

beat a personal best.

Have a go at creating a counting rocket!

All you need is some paper/card and pencils/pens, if you

want to get creative some scissors and a clue tick will

help.

Have fun!
