7. Number facts
Daily mental maths have been highlighted this year to improve number recall during maths activities across the school. Mental maths is essential in the early years because it lays the foundation for more complex maths later on.
Mental maths takes a lot of practice, and the more you can do with your child at home, the better you'll prepare them for the maths they'll encounter in class and in tests (and in everyday life).
Little and often is definitely the key.
Some things you may want to practise are:
Counting (eg counting in 2s, 5s or 10s)
Place value (eg understanding that the 3 in 37 means 30, rather than just 3)
Number facts (eg times tables, or pairs of numbers that add up to 10)
Simple additions and subtractions (eg )
