![Page 15: Curriculum Evening How can you help at home?](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070419/56815bde550346895dc9ce51/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
What is mental maths?• Rapid recall of number facts is just
one aspect
Others include• Working out answers using known
facts• Understand and use the relationship
between the four operations• Construct equivalent calculations
![Page 16: Curriculum Evening How can you help at home?](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070419/56815bde550346895dc9ce51/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Research• Learning key facts “by heart”
enables children to concentrate on the calculation which in turn helps them develop calculation strategies
• Using and applying strategies to work out answers helps children to acquire and so remember more facts
![Page 17: Curriculum Evening How can you help at home?](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070419/56815bde550346895dc9ce51/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Practical Equipment• Mental calculations involve visualising,
imagining and working things out in your head
But • Children cannot visualise if they have not
had practical experiences
Therefore• Provide suitable equipment for children to
manipulate and explore how and why a calculation strategy works

Underlying Teaching Principle• Ensure that children can confidently
add and subtract any pair of two digit numbers mentally, using jottings where necessary
• ONLY then will children be able to successfully apply themselves to written column methods
