Understanding Place Value
This resource from Teachers TV is an accompaniment to the programme Teaching Place Value and features a briefing for parents at Springfield School, Jersey, where a revised system of mathematics teaching has been introduced.
Richard Dunne, Mathematics Consultant explains how using paper cups, to help visualise calculations, is revolutionising students' understanding. The teaching method includes visual, oral and kinaesthetic learning and the reaction from parents is very positive.
Key Stage One students are overcoming conceptual problems by learning about tens and hundreds using a logical language: twenty one becomes 'two-ty-one', so children are saying some strange things at home! We hear parents' reactions and see their own understanding of place value develop, enabling them to apply the same logic at home.
Finally, parents are shown how students will be introduced to addition of tens and units as horizontal 'maths stories' and how this will be developed into vertical addition.
