Maths
Children will learning about place value this half term. It is really important that children know number bonds to 10, 20 and 100 and also their times table recall facts. The children will have a weekly times tables test so please try and help your child learn them. Children will be looking at fractions and making use of some of the extra resources our new whiteboards have to offer. Below are some useful links to help number bond and times table recall.
