In Maths this half term, the children will be introduced to the new concepts of multiplication and division, including counting in 2s, 5s and 10s. They will also begin learning about fractions, focusing on finding a half and a quarter of both shapes and quantities. Our objectives for this unit are outlined below:

Count in multiples of two, fives and tens.  

Solve one step problems involving multiplication and division using concrete objects, pictorial representations and arrays with the support of the teacher.

Describe position, direction and movement, including whole, half, quarter and three-quarter turns.  

Children should be using Numbots at least once a week, as regular practice is highly beneficial for developing their number skills and building confidence in maths. This gives them the opportunity to develop their fluency skills within number. Click Here to access Numbots.
