Maths Spring 2

We follow a maths mastery approach at St. George's and as such, we are spending a long time on number (place value), addition and subtraction. When we are secure in the Year 1 concepts, we will move on to incorporating more complex ideas into our lessons, always drawing on previous learning in order to make connections. The aim is to become fluent in number facts, be able to represent what we know in many different ways and make links between areas of knowledge - thus becoming maths masters!

At St. George's, we believe everyone can master maths. With hard work and encouragement, we can all achieve!

Mastering Number

In Key Stage 1, we focus on mastering number, using the NCETM Mastering Number program to support with the subitising of numbers to ten, as well as recognising number patterns and bonds to all numbers up to 20. The use of the Rekenrek in central to this program allowing children to see the different patterns in their number bonds.

Mathletics

I will continue to set Mathletics homework each week. It will be set on Friday and will be due the next Wednesday. It will always complement the work we are doing in class.
