In Mathematics this term we have started by recapping time and will then move on to develop our understanding of place value. We will be looking at formal written methods addition and subtraction. We will also study multiplication and division, as well as fractions, percentages and decimals later in the term. 

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!

Written & Mental Calculations

Below are copies of our school's written and mental calculation policies for all four operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
