Maths
At St. George's we use a mastery approach to teaching Mathematics which is rich in contextual understanding and uses many visual and concrete resources to ensure all children comprehend.
Summer 1 - This half-term we are focusing on Spine 2: Multiplication and Division
and Angles!
We will be studying:
Spine 2.22: Combining multiplication with addition and subtraction
Students will be learning to combine multiplication with addition or subtraction. They learn how to use brackets to change the order of operations.
Students will learn how to recognise and measure different types of angles.
Mathletics Homework

Times tables
Children are expected to know their timestables to 12 x 12 and associated division facts fluently. Each week we complete a varied table practise test to increase speed. After the test, Children are asked to identify which timestable they need to work on independently at home. Children have access to Times Tables Rock Stars which they can play at home and even challenge friends and teachers!
