Here at Dean Gibson we deliver Maths using 'Mint Maths' which is an approach being developed by Kendal schools and is based around using equipment and putting maths into a real world context.
To ensure all children can have a deep understanding of all the concepts being covered children use a wide range of equipment such as base ten, multilink, place value counters and coins. We also give children problems based in a real world context before moving into more abstract tasks which are number based.
How can parents support their children?
Every child in Key Stage 1 and 2 has been given an RM Easimaths login. This is a programme they can access from home. RM Easimaths sets the chidren tasks and tracks how well they are doing. Once a child has shown they can do something the system automatically gives them something new to do. Click here for the link: https://www.rmeasimaths.com/Easimaths/Account/LogIn

Times tables are vital for all children starting in Year 1. In Year 1 children begin to count in 2s, 5s and 10s. In Year 2 children learn their 2s, 3s, 5s and 10 times tables. In Year 3 we introduce the 4 and 8 times tables and by the end of Year 4 the children need to know all their multiplications up to 12 x 12.
