Dear Parents/Carers,

This term in Primary 4 we are:

• Rounding numbers (to the nearest ten e.g. 34 = 30 or 456=460 and hundred e.g. 542=500).
• Ordering numbers using the greater than > and less than < symbols e.g. 56<67.
• Practising strategies for addition and subtraction of 2 digit numbers, mentally e.g. partitioning, using a number square or using a number line.
• Revising multiplication tables (2,4,5, and 10) and associated division facts.
• Practising strategies for multiplying a 2 digit number by a single digit e.g. doubling a 2 digit number e.g. 24 x 2.
• Making and counting amounts of money and finding change (from a maximum of £10).
• Expressing the time in digital and analogue format for o’clock, quarter past, half past and quarter to, and then extending this to 5 minute intervals.

It would be great if you could support your child with these concepts at home. Many thanks, J McMillan and F Mackie
