    Supporting Maths Learning at Home. 

     

    🏠 The following online platforms are used to help children practise and consolidate key mathematical skills beyond the classroom.

     

    📱 EYFS (from February) and KS1
    Children are encouraged to use NumBots at home to develop their early number skills. We recommend practising three times per week for around five minutes each session.

     

    🚀 KS2
    Children in Key Stage 2 use Times Tables Rock Stars (TTRS) to build speed, fluency and confidence with their multiplication facts, following the same recommended practice routine.

     

    💻 Upper Key Stage 2
    In addition to TTRS, children in Upper Key Stage 2 complete a weekly maths activity on LBQ (Learning by Questions) to further develop their mathematical understanding and reasoning skills.

     

    🔑 Logins and Access
    All children will be provided with individual login details for the relevant online learning platforms.
