Fluency
Across Years 1 and 2, the children will be taught a range of strategies in Maths lessons and Mastering Number sessions to ensure they are fluent in their recall of addition and subtraction facts. They will then be able to apply these into different Maths problems and contexts.
Support at home
To support the understanding of Maths, we are beginning to create Videos which explain our written methods.

From Year 4 onwards children are given 10 minutes to practise their times tables in a fast learning grid. This can be printed and practised at home otherwise children should use their times table books to practise.
Children work extremely hard during their time in school. However, if you would like to help your child with their learning at home, here are some aspects to focus on...
KS1
- Number bonds to 10 and 20.
- Number facts to 20
- Adding 10 to any single digit number (knowing the units don't change)
- Adding and subtracting 10 to any 2 digit number
- Doubling
- Near doubles e.g 7 + 6=
- Adding 1 and 0 to any number
KS2
- Number bonds to 10, 20, 100, 1000
- Adding 10, 100, 1000 to any number number (knowing the units don't change)
- Decimal and fraction fluency e.g 0.4 + __ = 1 4/10 + ? = 1
- Doubling and halving
- Dividing and multiplying by 10 100 1000
- Addition strategies- knowing addition facts to instantly recall e.g. 4 +8
- Dividing/multiplying by one and 0.
- Times Tables
The website below is engaging and fun for children and helps them to practice their fluency skills.

Children in KS1 will also benefit from watching the BBC one programme 'NumberBlocks.’ There are powerful Mathematical concepts behind this programme and it is also very engaging. The episodes can be found on BBC I Player.
