Maths- Autumn 2024 review 
The focus for last half term has been securing the children’s understanding of Place Value. The children have been working extremely hard to ensure they have a deep understanding of this foundation of mathematical understanding.

Nursery

In nursery, the children have been learning to recognise and count numbers up to 5. To support them, they have been using Numicon and natural objects around the classroom and the outdoor space.
The nursery children have been representing numbers using sand, numicon and multilink cubes.

Reception

The children in reception have been learning to recognise and count numbers up to 10, and have used subitising to recognise numbers up to 5. They have also been finding one more and one less up to 10. Reception have been busy using concrete resources for lots of their maths learning this half term. They have been representing number, counting more and less and ordering natural objects according to their size.

Year 1

Year 1 have been working on fluently recalling the number bonds to 10, partitioning, reading and writing numbers up to 20 and counting forwards and backwards within 50. They have also been laying the foundations for multiplication by practising doubling numbers up to 20, using Numicon and dienes to help them. They have been working on finding numbers that are fewer, more and same, and using maths vocabulary such as greater than, less than and equal to.

Year 2

The children in Year 2 have been reading and writing numbers up to 100 and recognising the place value and partitioning 2-digit numbers. They have been finding odd and even numbers, and exploring numbers that are greater than, less then and equal to each other. Year 2 have been using concrete resources, and then moving on to pictorial representations to recognise, add and subtract amounts of money.

Year 3

Year 3 have been working hard to understand how to write and read numerals in numbers and words. They have worked on addition and subtraction this half term and have had a big focus on multiplication and division. Pupils can use lots of different strategies to multiply and divide including partitioning and written method.

Year 4

Year 4 have also have also had a big focus on multiplications and division this term. We have been dividing three-digit numbers by one-digit numbers and also solving problem involving multiplication and division. We have done lots of practice on Timetables Rockstars both in school and at home.

Year 5

Year 5 have been exploring numbers up to 1 000 000 and learning how to read and write these numbers. They have been using this understanding to answer real life style questions, applying their mathematical knowledge to real world situations. They have also been focusing on developing multiplication tables knowledge to support them when completing multiplication with larger numbers and fractions problems.

Year 6

Year 6 have looked at the place value of decimals this term, understanding their position within a number sequence. The have also been focusing on using their multiplication facts to multiply and divide fractions, develop their knowledge of square and cube numbers, and understand ratio.
