TIMES TABLES
Times Tables are a key focus to almost all of our Maths in Year 5. By now we should know our times tables inside-out, back-to-front and any other way you can think of! However, if you don't, it is definitely worth keeping on top of your practice as it will help every aspect of your Maths.
Practise as often as possible. Reciting, random quiz questions, post it notes of key times tables or ones you know they are strugglin with around the house so they are a visual reminder.
I have attached some sheets you may like to print out for your child to practise. They could just have a go at their own pace or some children might like to try and do them as fast as possible and try and complete them in a quicker time each time they have a go. You might give them a timer and get them to try and beat their time each time.
If the children want to bring them into school to show me I would be delighted to see their work.
FRACTIONS
Please find below some links to online activities and games to support your child with their learning.
Some of these are suitable to be used across KS2 so may contain elements that are more challenging. The expectations for Year 3 Fractions can be found within the Parent Guide to the National Curriculum (link on this page).
TIME
Time can often be tricky for children. It doesn't work in the same ways as other maths as in not based on the same base 10 place value system or Hundreds, Tens and Ones.
Please help your child to read the time using both a digital and anaolgue clock.
There are some links below to games which could also help.
