Curriculum Information:

We will use a range of manipulatives to support our learning in Maths including; Numicon, Base 10, counters, cubes, dice and number lines.
Practising our times tables can really support our Maths in the classroom.
Using Numbots and Times Tables Rockstars is an excellent way to develop Maths skills in a fun and engaging way. Please let us know if you need a new log in to access these sites.
