Mental MathsWe use a range of interactive

web sites, apps, and games to make

speeding up and recalling facts fun and exciting!

Mental MathsChildren are encouraged to

count in different ways and to calculate mentally.

pacey, fun and dynamic.

constantly.

Resources are essential to

develop and embed understanding.

What?What did you do?What did you find out about…?What would happen if……?

How?How did you do that?How did knowing …. help you?How would you change it for another sum?

Why?Why does that happen?Why is that the pattern?

Would it work with other numbers?

Lots of discussion…

Children MUST feel positive about maths

to be numerate.

We all need to work together to ensure that the children have

positive learning experiences.

The strategies your child uses are shown in classrooms for you to see and work through together.

Children are all unique and learn concepts at different rates and take different amounts of time to fully understand them.

Be patient, practice and help make maths FUN!
