Maths
In Mathematics this term we have started by recapping time, focusing on analogue and digital, the difference between twelve and twenty-four hour and converting between different units of time. We 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.
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!
