This term in Maths, we will be continuing to focus on developing our addition and subtraction skills with numbers up to 3 and 4 digits. We will also be building upon our multiplication and division skills. We will then apply our new learning as we explore fractions towards the end of term. Through engaging activities and problem-solving tasks, children will build a strong foundation in these key mathematical concepts.

You can support our learning at home by encouraging us to access Times Table Rockstars and helping us learn our KIRFs.
