<p>Mathematics is a creative and highly inter-connected discipline that is essential to everyday life, critical to science, technology and engineering, and necessary for financial literacy and most forms of employment. These workbooks aim to ensure all children become fluent in Arithmetic test questions, in line with the Mathematics Program of Study, in accordance with the National Curriculum.</p> <p>Children will learn different methods and strategies through frequent practice, so that they develop conceptual understanding and the ability, to retain, recall and apply knowledge rapidly and accurately.</p> <p>The quality and variety of language that pupils hear and speak are key factors in developing their mathematical vocabulary (Glossary). Children must be assisted in making their thinking clear to themselves as well as others. Ensure that your child builds secure foundations by using discussion to probe and remedy their misconceptions. The approach taken to enable the learning of Arithmetic test questions, is to explain, prove, show and understand maths in 4 ways.</p> <p>Concrete - the use of objects that can be handled or manipulated to explain how to accurately calculate the number sentence. <br /> Pictorial - the use of mathematical images to show representations of the accurate calculation of the number sentence. <br /> Abstract - the use of efficient formal written methods applied to prove the accurate calculation of the number sentence. <br /> Reasoning - the use of real-life scenarios to put the number sentence into context, to understand which efficient method or strategy to apply.</p>

<p>This book visually displays pictorial representations of arithmetic number sentences. This will allow maths learners in Reception,Years 1 and 2 to understand a range of arithmetic concepts and strategies. <br /> There are no written methods, encouraging the teacher and child to discuss how the number sentences have been calculated. <br /> Childen can learn different concepts and strategies through frequent practice, ensuring the development of their arithmetic understanding, knowledge and skills.</p> <p>A variety of maths resources are pictorially represented. <br /> ● Cubes <br /> ● Counters <br /> ● Number Lines <br /> ● Number Grids <br /> ● Part Whole Models <br /> ● Bar Models <br /> ● Groups of</p> <p>Concrete - the use of objects that can be handled or manipulated to explain how to accurately calculate the number sentence. <br /> Pictorial - the use of mathematical images to show representations of the accurate calculation of the number sentence. <br /> Abstract - the use of efficient formal written methods applied to prove the accurate calculation of the number sentence.</p>
