Maths
This Summer term in Mathematics, children will continue to build on their understanding of statistics, arithmetic skills, and fractions. We will focus on interpreting and presenting data, including reading and drawing charts and graphs, and using this information to answer questions with increasing confidence and accuracy.
There will be a strong emphasis on arithmetic practice, helping pupils improve their fluency, speed and accuracy across the four operations.
Throughout the term, we will provide regular opportunities to practise word problems, encouraging children to apply their skills in a range of contexts. This will support their reasoning and help them approach multi-step problems with confidence, while continuing to strengthen overall numeracy fluency.
Year 6 SATs Preparation
Year 6 pupils will also take part in focused preparation for their upcoming SATs. This will include revisiting key topics, practising test-style questions and developing strategies to approach different types of problems with confidence. We will continue to support children in building resilience, accuracy and independence to ensure they feel well-prepared and ready for their assessments.
To support learning in an enjoyable way, we will continue using Learning by Questions (LBQ), which allows children to practise their maths in short, interactive sessions. Children will also be encouraged to work towards their multiplication and division badges, celebrating progress and helping them become more confident and fluent mathematicians.
Practising your Maths skills at home is a great idea. Here are some useful links to help improve your speed and accuracy:
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.
