I'm sure their pupils (and parents) will become Maths Genies in no time! 🧞♂️🧠
#MentalMaths #MathsFluency #Edtech
Brilliant to have so many parents and children attend our @arithmagicians workshop last night. Great work from Mr H in preparing a paper resource to help with the concepts as families become familiar. Excited to see the impact on the children’s mental arithmetic. #primarymaths

🧠 How would you solve 2400 ÷ 2 mentally?
Try partitioning instead of reaching for a written method:
2000 ÷ 2 = 1000
400 ÷ 2 = 200
So 2400 ÷ 2 = 1200 🎯

Compensate by ×10:
11 × 10 = 110 🎯

🧠 Are your pupils using compensation for subtraction?
Instead of subtracting 19, subtract 20 and add 1 back.
147 − 19 → 147 − 20 + 1 = 128 ✨

Why does 213 × 0 = 0? 🤔
If a pupil writes 213, try explaining × as “groups of”: 213 groups of zero contain zero altogether.
Teach the meaning behind the rule, not just the answer. ✨
