Ping Pong!
You begin by setting a rhythm where one person, i.e. the adult says
ping and the children reply pong. You then start to give a number in
place of ping and the children have to give the complement to 10 in
place of pong, so it would go something like this 'ping, pong, ping, pong,
six, four, ping, pong, five, five' etc.
Children really enjoy it and can actually hear themselves getting quicker
at responding.
‘It just doesn’t look like it did in my day.’
27 x 43 is roughly 30 x 40 and…
Pictorial representation
A child has sufficiently understood the hands-on experiences
performed and can now relate them to representations, such as a
diagram or picture of the problem. In the case of a division
exercise this could be the action of circling objects.

First steps in Maths
• The ability to calculate mentally forms the basis of all calculations
and therefore, up until the end of Year 3, the focus in class is on
teaching these mental methods.
recall key number facts instantly, e.g. number bonds to 10, 100 etc and
multiplication facts up to 12 ×12
use knowledge of place value to extend known number facts – e.g. using the
fact that 7 x 6 = 42 to calculate 70 x 6 = 420;
+2 +5
8 10 15
Step 4
It is also crucial that children gain an understanding of place value
(how much each digit in a number is worth) and how to partition
a number into ones (units), tens, hundreds etc. This helps the
children manage the calculation more easily.
For example:
23 + 46
can be broken down into:
20 + 40 = 60
3 + 6 = 9
60 + 9 = 69
They can then use their knowledge of place value to extend known
number facts – e.g. using the fact that 7 x 6 = 42 to calculate
70 x 6 = 420.

Expanded method
It is important that the children
have a good understanding of place
value and partitioning using concrete
resources and visual images to
to subtract 7 units we
support calculations. The expanded
need to exchange a
ten for ten units method enables children to see what
happens to numbers in the standard
written method.

efficient method. Multiples of the divisor (large What facts do I

For example: 84 ÷ 7 can be partitioned into (70 + 14) ÷ 7
This can now be calculated: 70 ÷ 7 = 10
14 ÷ 7 = 2 Therefore 84 ÷ 7 = 12
