These objectives will be covered each week by your child. If you would like to clarify anything from the table please do not hesitate to talk to your class teacher or Mrs Hawkins.
Many parents have asked about the methods the children are taught for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. The following Powerpoint presentations may be of assistance:
Addition and Multiplication Methods
Subtraction and Division Methods
On this website: http://www.standards.dfes.gov.uk/primary/publications/mathematics/models_and_images_pack/ there are some 'Models and Images' that can be downloaded which are very visual and useful.
