Helping Your Child with MathsOn this page you will find useful educational resources to help your child learn maths facts when they are at home. We know that children who are encouraged and helped to do extra school work at home become more confident and, apart from the obvious benefit of the things they learn, this also improves their ability to concentrate.
‘Learn Its’ are addition, subtraction, multiplication and division facts that children need to know by heart and be able to recall instantly. Your child should be able to tell you which Learn Its they are working on so that you can support them at home with these. We have created resources you can download from the links on this page. They are in a PDF format so can be printed off. Our Maths Calculations Policy can be found on this website under 'General Information/Policies'.

Year 5 to Year 6 Summer Maths
The summer holidays are almost upon us and the children are certainly ready for a well-deserved rest. The 6 week holiday should be sufficient time for them to recharge their batteries and come back to school in September ready for the challenges that Year 6 will bring. To help them hit the ground running upon their return to school, we have put together a mathematics pack containing lots of activities and games that you can play over the summer holidays with your children that will help to keep their mathematical brains ‘ticking over’ - and yours! It can be found here (see 'Summer Maths Games' button on the right). The pack also contains booklets to promote ’10-4-10' (see the 'Fairly Difficult Maths' and 'More Difficult Maths' buttons). This asks children to spend 10 minutes a day for 10 days on mathematics revision. Each day there are 5 arithmetic questions and some longer test questions to complete. You may choose to print off the question sheets so your child can write on them but it is also possible to use plain paper to write down the answers while reading the questions off the screen. In order to help you support them, there is also an answer booklet. In this you will find the answers and, in some cases, some hints so that you can mark each of the sheets with your child when they have completed them. |
