This term, Year 3 and 4 pupils will develop their understanding of number and place value before building confidence in addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Children will learn to read, represent, compare and order numbers, use efficient mental and written calculation strategies, and strengthen their knowledge of multiplication and division facts.

Our maths curriculum follows a mastery approach, with learning carefully broken down into small, manageable steps. Through the use of practical resources, visual representations and written methods, pupils are encouraged to explain their thinking, reason mathematically and solve problems in a variety of contexts. Regular retrieval practice, focused times tables teaching and timely support help all children develop fluency, confidence and a deep understanding of mathematical concepts.

Practising your Maths skills at home is a great idea. Have a look at the useful links below to get you started on developing those skills.

Times Tables

It is incredibly important that you know and can recall your times tables in Year 4. If you haven't already got it, work hard and practise often to earn your Red Badge.
