🔢P5MM use ‘Number Talks’ for Mental Maths🔢

30th Jan 2025
In Numeracy this year, we are focusing on Mental Maths at Camphill Primary School.

Mr McCullough, as Numeracy Coordinator, has been trialling a programme with P5MM pupils called ‘Number Talks.’

We really enjoy these sessions, as they give us the opportunity to share different strategies and to make use of these to carry out different calculations.

Once a question has been shared, we use hand signals to indicate how many strategies we can think of to answer the question.

These are explained, recorded on the board and discussed.
