Maths Facts Rapid Recall

The ability to quickly recall mathematical facts is essential in helping children calculate mentally.
To start off this term we are going to be asking children to practise the rapid recall of number facts at home.
In school on a Friday, children will be given a list of 25 questions on a specific set or sets of addition and/or subtraction facts.
This will give them a time to 'beat' the following week.
At home, we ask if you can time your child on 2 more ocassions as they practise the same set of facts, recording their times at the end of the practise list. Practise sheets will be in their blue maths folders.
In school on the FRIDAY, we will do a final list against the clock with the hope that they are able to complete it in a shorter time than the previous Friday.
Later in the year, we shall move on to practising our multiplication facts.

Login details for all the children have been sent home so children can access this site and start practising their Times Tables!
The class have currently been set their 10 times table to practise. Questions will appear as both multiplication and division facts.
Children earn 'coins' for correct answers which they can then trade for items for their avatar!
