Number Fact Fluency Scheme

Number Fact Fluency Scheme of Learning

 

Intent:

All pupils should have a secure understanding of key facts in mathematics to ensure that they are proficient and confident mathematicians.

 

By the end of Year 4, all children are expected to know all multiplication tables up to 12x12. Within the National Curriculum/ EYFS Framework, it is also set out that:

 

Year Group

Expectation

Reception

  • Number bonds to 5
  • Begin to know number bonds to 10

One

  • Number bonds to 10, 20 and 100
  • Be able to count in multiples of 2, 5 and 10.

Two

  • 2x, 5x and 10x tables
  • Be able to count in multiples of three

Three

  • Consolidation of number bonds and 2/5/10x table
  • 3x, 4x, 8x table

Four

  • 6x, 7x, 9x, 11x and 12x table
  • Secure knowledge of all multiplication facts to 12x12

Five

  • Know all multiplication and related division facts up to 12x12
  • Knowledge of Roman numerals to 1,000.
  • Squared and cubed numbers
  • Basic FDP relationships ( ½ , ¼, ¾ and 1/10)

Six

  • All x and ÷ facts (12x12)
  • Related language/symbols e.g. %, FDP relationships, squared, cubed and square root

 

It is expected that teachers explicitly teach these areas to children, assessing and adapting planning to ensure that children know and remember these key facts as they progress through school.

 

Implementation:

  • Within the Maths lesson, each class is expected to include a key facts starter (previously known as a counting starter).
  • Children should be able to recall key facts and know that multiplication facts are commutative.
  • Children should eb aware of where facts have been previously learned in other units, and encouraged to make connections.
  • Each half term, year groups will be given specific facts to focus on within the teaching sequence:

Impact:

  • Most children should meet the expectation outlined for their year group. Childreh should be able to pass assessments at the appropriate point of the year, with support in place for pupils working below expectations.
  • Regular assessment using the provided assessment sheets should be used form Y2 upwards. Assessment in YR and Y1 should occur through play and practical activities. Recordings of pupils scores and progress on Eazmag (under weekly tests).
  • For pupils who require additional support, 1:1 and small group interventions should take place (for example, precision teaching, additional TTRS practice etc.) These pupils should be monitored closely to identify gaps and barriers to their learning.
