Practising Times Tables
Regular practice of multiplication and division facts up to 12 × 12 will greatly support classroom learning and preparation for the Multiplication Tables Check. Times Tables Rockstar is an excellent game to practise these times tables in a fun format!
Encourage children to explain how they found an answer rather than simply providing it. Discussing mathematical thinking develops deeper understanding.
Opportunities arise constantly in daily life:
In Year 4, we encourage children to see mistakes as valuable learning opportunities. Mathematics is not about being quick; it is about developing understanding, reasoning and confidence.
Through the White Rose approach, our aim is for every child to leave Year 4 as a confident mathematician who can calculate accurately, reason logically, solve problems independently and explain their thinking clearly. By working in partnership with families, we can help every child develop a positive attitude towards mathematics and achieve their full potential.
