Spring Term 1 - Maths:

This term, we will be covering topics including Ratio and Algebra and Decimals.  In Ratio, the children will be solving real life problems and converting between ratio and fractions.  In our unit on Algebra, we will be looking at function machines before moving on to forming and solving equations.  As well as revising their place value knowledge to include decimals, the children will also be rounding decimals, adding and subtracting decimals and understanding further what happens when we multiply and divide by 10, 100 and 1000 etc.  There will be plenty of opportunities to apply these skills in Greater Depth Challenges and problem-solving activities.

As ever, it is so important for the children to have developed a rapid recall of all multiplication facts to 12 x 12.  We will continue to practice these skills using TT Rockstars as well as other classroom activities.  However, any further practice at home using TT Rockstars, Hit the Button or simply firing question after question at them can only be a benefit.
