Maths ๐
Please complete the addition sums worksheet you were given in class.
In addition, some of you mentioned that you would like a little extra practice of your times tables. ย There are lots of great games that you can play online or on a phone or tablet.
The Topmarks site is particularly good.ย https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/7-11-years/times-tables
Games I recommend are:
1. Hit the button (times tables)
2. Sum Sense (Multiplication)
3. Learn Your Tables
4. Beatbox Tables
There are also lots of great apps, if you have access to a phone or tablet. ย I particularly like monster maths and 10 minute a day times tables.
