• The school uses the Scottish Heinemann maths scheme, however, we are moving to more active methods of learning so do not be alarmed if not every workbook page is filled in.
• All maths topics covered are also reinforced by playing mathematical games and by using the interactive whiteboard.
• Some work covered throughout the year will include:

– being able to recognise, order and write numbers to 10

– addition and subtraction of numbers to 10

– knowledge of 2D and 3D shapes

– ability to produce and continue simple patterns

– practice in measuring using non-standard units for length, weight and capacity

– classifying information e.g. making simple block graphs

Any homework given will be revision or consolidation of work already taught in class.  We would encourage you to involve your child in as much real life maths as possible. This could be through cooking and baking, handling money, writing on a calendar or counting things as you are out for a walk for example.
