Tables

Each week the children will be asked to revise some of their Tables. Please ensure that they do practice these each night. Confidence in tables can be a great help in maths allowing the children to spend more time on more difficult parts of a question and spending less time on quick calculations.

Talking Tuesday

Tuesday is Talking Tuesday. Every Tuesday night the children will have a little reading but will also have an assignment where they will talk to their parents about a topic we have been talking about in class.

Word Problem Wednesday

On Wednesday the children's maths work will be based on a word problem rather than their Mental Maths.

Khan Academy

I introduced the kids to this website today. This is a wonderful website. There are lots of tutorial videos like the ones I will be creating in Maths but will have more than I could ever create (as well as giving the children a break from hearing my voice constantly). :) 5th Grade is the closest to 4th Class level but please feel free to have a look at some of the lower grades if the kids need to look back on things they may not have fully grasped first time around.
