Maths:

Many children still need to spend time learning their tables.  It would be helpful if the children could have their times tables “at their fingertips”.  The times tables help the children in so many areas of maths.  Each child in the class knows what tables they should be working on.  Between now and Christmas we will be having table tests every week.

Group 1 Focus on 2, 5 & 10 x tables

Group 2 Focus on 2,3,4,5,6,8,10 x tables

Group 3 Focus on 2,3,4,5,6,7, 8,9 & 10 x tables

Here are some ideas to help your child learn their tables:

Chant/Sing/Write the tables out
