Maths is practise is best done little and often. A short 5 minute game to practise number facts every day will help you to learn them and get better and better!
One of our favourite games at school is called Hit the Button. This is great for getting more fluent at our times tables (you need to know your 2x, 5x, 10x, 3x, 4x, 8x, 9x and 11x tables this year!) and quick addition and subtraction.
We use URBrainy to practise our times table ready for the Multiplication Check in the summer of Year 4. You can use this website to practise writing your answers, using the times tables that you have learnt, online with a time limit. You need to know the answer in 6 seconds!
Daily 10 is another quick game to practise your mental maths. Choose the level for your year group (so you would choose Level 3 for Year 3 questions) and then any area you want to practise.
If you find a topic a little tricky or want support with a specific area, BBC Bitsize has lessons and games on every part of the curriculum for your year group.
We are following the Power Maths scheme for our Maths lessons at school. This is their calculation policy which outlines the methods that we teach at school: LKS2 Power Maths Calculation Policy
