Teaching written calculations: guidance for teachers at Key Stages One and Two
This booklet was designed to assist teachers in their planning. It was written for the National Strategies, but it contains really useful information on using methods for calculation.
Part 2 discusses choosing the most appropriate strategies for a range of calculations of varying degrees of difficulty. Discussing with students the relative merits of different strategies helps them to see why some strategies are more appropriate and efficient than others.
Parts 3 and 4 specify the key strategies to teach students and contain activities to support the teaching of these strategies. It provides examples of typical problems addressed, set out on a year-by-year basis.
