In maths this term we will continue to consolidate key number-fact learning through daily maths starters.  We will practise counting in different steps and will work on learning and applying times table facts.  

Some children will continue to work on learning and applying times table facts whilst others continue to practise and learn number bond facts as well as skip counting forwards and backwards in jumps of 2, 3, 5 and 10. Some of the videos and songs that we use in class can be accessed below for further practise at home, whilst they are new to your child the speed can be slowed down in each of the video settings if required.  To support the children in becoming more fluent and faster in their recall, encourage children to keep working on short, daily practice on TTRS and/or Maths Shed - just five to ten minutes per day can help to make a huge difference! 

Our main maths learning will focus on place value.  We will work towards being able to:

• count in steps of 2, 3, and 5 from 0, and in tens from any number, forward and backward
• recognise the place value of each digit in a two-digit number (tens, ones) and work towards a greater understanding of three-digit numbers
• identify, represent and estimate numbers using different representations, including the number line
• compare and order numbers from 0 up to 100; use <, > and = signs
• read and write numbers to at least 100 in numerals and in words
• use place value and number facts to solve problems.
