Maths
Welcome back! This term in Mathematics, we are beginning with place value, building a secure understanding of the value of digits up to 10 million. We will be comparing and ordering numbers with confidence, as well as exploring how numbers are represented and used in different contexts. We will also be practising our arithmetic skills regularly to strengthen our core understanding and improve our speed.
As the term progresses, we will move on to developing our knowledge of time and statistics. This will include interpreting and presenting data in a variety of ways, as well as solving real-life problems that involve reading timetables and calculating intervals of time.
To help consolidate our learning, we are using Learning by Questions (LBQ) to put our knowledge and skills to the test in a fun and fast-paced way. We are also encouraging everyone to work towards earning their division and multiplication badges – a fantastic way to build confidence and celebrate progress!
Practising your Maths skills at home is a great idea. Here are some useful links to help improve your speed and accuracy:
Throughout the term, we will continue applying our mathematical skills to real-life problems and reasoning challenges.
We’d love to know—where do you use Maths in your everyday life? Let us know!
Times Tables
It is incredibly important that you know and can recall your times tables in Year 5 and 6. If you haven't already got it, work hard and practise often to earn your Red Badge.
Calculations Policy
Here are our calculations policies. From here you can see how we build skills in adding, subtraction, multiplication and division. This may help you support learning at home.
