Today in class our focus for maths moved to multiplication. P4 worked with Mrs Sisaki revising the 2, 5 and 10 times tables. They enjoyed playing the game ‘ping pong.’
The p3s worked with Mrs Collett and we focused on what multiplication actually means and different ways it can be worded. We then played bingo using our knowledge of counting in 2s and 10s.
The p4s were also introduced to the 50 club. They are given 50 multiplication questions to answer in 4-5 mins. If they score 50/50 they become a member of the 50 club and move on to the next level. P3s will use this from next week too.
In class pupils will be working on different times tables depending on which ones they need to improve their speed and accuracy of recall with. Please support your child by practising with them at home. They will learn their 2,5 and 10 times tables first. Then they will move onto their 3 and 4. If they are able to recall these quickly they will be challenged by looking at the 6,7,8 and 9 times tables.
Soon I will put up some websites that your child can use to help them.
