Maths

In this half term, we will be focusing on statistics and geometry. 

Each morning, between 8:45 – 9am, the children will revisit prior learning through Early Bird Maths questions or tasks. These tasks are important for developing fluency and confidence in their learning. .

It is important that the children maintain their fluency in times tables, so should continue to practice regularly using TTRs and other times table games.
