Maths
This term in Maths, the children will be working hard to strengthen their arithmetic skills, and we’d greatly appreciate your support at home. We’ll be putting our number knowledge to the test by tackling exciting multi-step problems and learning to use a variety of representations to help us understand and solve them. We’ll also be exploring the world of measurement by investigating area, perimeter, volume and capacity through practical, hands-on activities that make learning meaningful and enjoyable, whilst recapping other topics such as fractions and decimals. It promises to be a fun and engaging term full of mathematical discovery!
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!

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.
