There are lots of ways that you can help your child or pupils to learn KS1 maths:
- Rather than explaining concepts, use visual representations to explore them, such as number lines and grids.
- Nothing beats doodling! Encourage your child or pupils to draw pictures to help them understand concepts or have a go at working out the answer to a question.
- Use real-life items to explore number, such as Smarties or pebbles. Encourage your child to sort the items into different amounts; doing this will help them understand concepts such as addition and fractions!
- Boosting their instant recall skills will help them with their mental maths and speed answering questions. Learning times tables in a specific order and using fun activities is a great way to help with this!
An array is an arrangement of items (such as pictures or numbers) in columns or rows.
They let children visualise what happens when they multiply or divide numbers together, helping them master times tables and division!
Reasoning is basically detective work: it's when learners use what they already know to work out the answer to a question.
For example, if a child knows what 12 - 5 is, they can use this knowledge to work out what 12 - 6 is.
"I know that 12 - 5 is 7. As 6 is 1 higher than 5, the answer must be 1 higher than 7."
