Key Messages
1. Concrete and pictorial exploration of number is the foundation of mental maths strategy development
2. Pupils should devise, communicate and reflect on various mental maths strategies
3. The teacher’s role is to facilitate mathematical thinking

Number Facts or Mental Maths
“Rapid recall of number facts is one aspect of mental calculation but there are others. This involves presenting children with calculations in which they have to work out the answer using known facts and not just recall it from a bank of number facts that are committed to memory.”
(Crown, 2010, p.12)

Solid Foundations
• Being able to confidently add and subtract any pair of two-digit numbers mentally is an important starting point for mental maths.

Teacher as Facilitator
• Starts by assessing the knowledge of the group
• Information flows in many different directions
• Facilitators elicit a variety of methods from pupils
• Facilitators encourage pupils to critically evaluate solution methods

A Range of Methods…
“To help children to learn and draw on a range of mental methods, you need to raise their awareness and understanding of the range of possible strategies, develop their confidence and fluency by practising using the strategies, and help them to choose from the range the most efficient method for a given calculation.”
(Crown, 2010, p.15)

I just know it
Stages of Progression
• Counting Strategies – using object counting (for example blocks or fingers) or verbal counting to determine the answer.
• Reasoning Strategies – using known information to logically determine an unknown combination.
• Mastery – efficient (fast and accurate) production of answers.

The Test !
No pressure
You can work with a partner to figure them out

Mastering the Basic Facts
Do:
1. Ask students to self-monitor
2. Focus on self improvement
3. Drill in short time segments
4. Work on facts over time
5. Involve families
6. Make drill enjoyable
7. Use technology
8. Emphasise the importance of quick recall of facts
Avoid:
1. Using lengthy timed tests
2. Using public comparisons of mastery
3. Proceeding through facts in order from 0 to 9
4. Moving to memorisation too soon
5. Using facts as a barrier to good mathematics

Steps to Success for Pupils with SEN…
1. Recognise that more drill will not work
2. Provide hope
3. Inventory – the known and unknown facts for each student in need
4. Diagnose strengths and weaknesses
5. Focus on reasoning strategies
6. Build in success
7. Provide engaging activities for drill
