Maths
In Mathematics this term we will start by diving into the exciting world of fractions! We’ll start by learning how to find fractions that are equivalent then move on to recognising and comparing equivalent fractions. As we explore fractions greater and less than 1, we’ll practice comparing, ordering, and adding them—sometimes even with totals greater than 1! We’ll also explore adding and subtracting fractions, and even get hands-on with mixed numbers. It’s going to be a fun-filled and fraction-packed journey. As well as fractions, we will be developing our understanding of decimals and percentages and exploring the relationships between them.
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!
