Maths
In Maths this term, the children will be working hard to strengthen their arithmetic skills, and we’d love your support with this at home! We’ll be putting our number knowledge to the test by tackling exciting multi-step problems and learning how to use a range of representations to help us understand and solve them. We’ll also be exploring the world of measurement—delving into area, perimeter, volume and capacity through practical, hands-on activities that bring learning to life. It’s going to be a fun and engaging term full of mathematical discovery!
This website contains some great videos, explanations and activities to support. Let us know if you try any and how you find them!!
This term we will be developing our speed and accuracy with the arithmetic skills that we have already been taught. Practising quick recall of number facts and the formal methods will help with this immensely. |
Practising you Maths skills at home is a great idea. Here are some links you could try to improve your speed and accuracy.

Throughout, we will continue to apply our Mathematical skills and understanding to real-life problems and reasoning challenges.
Let us know where you use Maths in your every day life!
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.
Written & Mental Calculations
Below are copies of our school's written and mental calculation policies for all four operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
We thought it would be useful for you to see how we teach your children different aspects of Maths! This may also help if you are working with your children at home!
