To further help parents to support their children at home, we have developed aset of 'How to...' calculation videos. Each video was created by a pupil in school, who explained how to use the different elements of the calculation policy to solve a problem.
Each operation has three separate videos:
- Concrete: this is where the children use apparatus (manipulatives) or objects to work out an answer, such as numicon, base ten or counters.
- Pictorial: this is where the children use images which look like the apparatus to help them - such as sticks and dots for base ten.
- Abstract: this is the formal method, such as column method for addition or the 'bus stop' method for division.
