Maths Support at Home
We hope that this page will support your understanding of maths in school- and perhaps help you see the subject in a new light!
Questions or queries? We'd love to hear them! Don't be afraid to approach your child's class teacher or the maths subject leader (Mrs Wraith)
Below I have produced a short parent guide for each year group to support you with your child at home in the four operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division).
Remember we have online maths games platforms for the children to use. In KS1, children have NUMBOT and in KS2, children can use Times Table Rockstars. You will find your child's login details in their reading diary. Click on the links below.
White Rose have also produced some amazing workbooks that you can use at home to support your child's learning in school. The is one for each unit of learning completed in maths for each year group. Click on the link below to access these
