MULTIPLICATION - KEY STAGE TWO.COM
Numbers and the number system
In Counting pupils should be taught to:
1. Count on and back in tens or hundreds from any two- or three-digit number; recognise and continue number sequences formed by counting on or back in steps of constant size from any integer, extending to negative integers when counting back
Number patterns and sequences
2. Recognise and describe number patterns, including two- and three-digit multiples of 2, 5 or 10, recognising their patterns and using these to make predictions; make general statements, using words to describe a functional relationship, and test these; recognise prime numbers to 20 and square numbers up to 10 x 10; find factor pairs and all the prime factors of any two-digit integer
Integers
3. Read, write and order whole numbers, recognising that the position of a digit gives its value; use correctly the symbols , =; multiply and divide any integer by 10 or 100 then extend to multiplying and dividing by 1000; round integers to the nearest 10 or 100 and then 1000; order a set of negative integers, explaining methods and reasoning; multiply and divide decimals by 10 or 100
Fractions, percentages and ratio
4. Understand unit fractions [for example, one-third or one-eighth] then fractions that are several parts of one whole [for example, two-thirds or five-eighths], locate them on a number line and use them to find fractions of shapes and quantities
5. Understand simple equivalent fractions and simplify fractions by cancelling common factors; compare and order simple fractions by converting them to fractions with a common denominator, explaining their methods and reasoning
6. Recognise the equivalence between the decimal and fraction forms of one half, quarters, tenths and hundredths; understand that ‘percentage’ means the ‘number of parts per 100′ and that it can be used for comparisons; find percentages of whole number quantities, using a calculator where appropriate
7. Recognise approximate proportions of a whole and use simple fractions and percentages to describe them, explaining their methods and reasoning
8. Solve simple problems involving ratio and direct proportion
Decimals
9. Understand and use decimal notation for tenths and hundredths in context [for example, order amounts of money, round a sum of money to the nearest ?, convert a length such as 1.36 metres to centimetres and vice versa]; locate on a number line, and order, a set of numbers or measurements; then recognise thousandths (only in metric measurements)
10. Round a number with one or two decimal places to the nearest integer or tenth; convert between centimetres and millimetres or metres, then between millimetres and metres, and metres and kilometres, explaining methods and reasoning.
KeyStageTwo.com is currently working with schools across the British Isles to offer cost reducing benefits to schools across the UK. The system is currently working in 35 schools, and is in talks with various government agencies to have the system installed on a national level within the UK.
Key Stage Two is an affordable education system which integrates education with entertainment by linking education with fun online games which test the child while they learn. We have recorded great results with children spending on average 40 minutes per evening on the system, doing homework and usually additional tests, hence improving the acuity and performance of even the most hard to reach pupil.
The system has identified the following benefits to schools:
-Overall School Cost Reduction due to less homework needing printed it saves money
-Very low price means it is affordable for all schools as well as home tutors
-Teacher Time Reduction due to the reduced amount of marking
-Non Discriminatory, offering facilities to aid children who do not have home computers
-Environmentally friendly reducing your need for printing
-It helps schools meet their own IT targets
-Full Customer Support team in place meaning any queries are dealt with.
-There is a marked Improvement in Children’s performance particularly those who are hard to engage through traditional methods
-Tracking of Child Performance provided by the system enables constructive lesson support, identifying particular areas of weakness in particular pupils as well as the class as a whole.
Why not lobby a school near you to get involved? Or as a parent/tutor avail of the system for only ten pounds per month. Contact us direct on 028 91 464851 or Click the link below for more information.
