Mathematics at Burscough Village
Cakes and Calculations!
We have hosted a Cakes and Calculations afternoon where the children taught mums, dads, grandmas, grandads and family members how we do written calculations in school. It was such a fun afternoon, we all learned so much and we enjoyed eating the cakes too!
Here are the booklets families took home. They show you how we work out our addition, subtraction, multiplication and divisions.

Numicon
Recently, we have invested in a range of resources to support the children’s learning and development of conceptual understanding in mathematics. The main resource we have purchased is Numicon.
Numicon is a range of multi-sensory maths resources using imagery, models and signs to raise mathematical achievement.
These resources help children to develop fluency by using a visual, practical base to develop conceptual understanding and fluent recall.
Furthermore, it helps children to reason mathematically through the use of concrete objects and spoken language to explain and justify.
It will also help children to develop into confident problem solvers since it provides them with visual a stimulus to support their reasoning communication.
Finally, Numicon can help us make confident and competent mathematicians, as well as making learning fun and interactive.
Below are a range of activity cards that you can use with your children at home and get a flavour of the work we have been doing in classes.
Please speak to your class teacher or come and see Mrs Crowder if you have any questions about how to use this at home.
Thank you for your continued support
