This coming month, we will be focusing particularly hard on Maths - including playing lots of Maths games to improve our numeracy skills.
At home, it is so important that the children practice their tables every night. At this stage, many of the children have a reasonable recall of their times tables, but many of them could improve on their speed. Each Friday morning, we have a tables test, and I would love to see everybody improve on their personal best speed this month.
I find it is easiest for a child to improve their speed if they focus on one group of tables at a time - that is why we went back to x3 at the start of the year and we have built from there. If your child does not yet have all of the x3 tables on the tip of their tongue, please go back and start there with them again. Only when they have mastered x3, should you move on to x4.
There are some ideas on this page to support you and your child with practicing tables as often as possible.
Enjoy!
