Mathematics

By the end of Y6 we want our pupils to:-

Be fluent in the fundamentals of mathematics; through practise over time, have developed understanding of key mathematical concepts and be able to recall and apply their knowledge rapidly and accurately.
Reason mathematically; be able to follow a line of enquiry, infer relationships between elements of mathematics, and develop their arguments, justifications and proofs using mathematical language.
Solve problems; by applying their mathematics to increasingly complex problems; by breaking problems down into a series of simpler steps, and by persevering until they have found the solution.

How can you help at home?

Ways you might help your child to get a head start in Mathematics;

Play games that involve maths skills - dice games, card games etc.
Bring maths into every day activities - counting the cutlery when setting the table; looking at the clock to tell the time; handling money - adding small amounts of money when shopping and calculating the change.
There are lots of online activities and apps that help children to learn number facts; these support your child's fluency.
Make sure your child knows all their multiplication tables to 12 by the end of Y4.
