Daily Mental Maths
Daily Mental Maths Booklets are a great resource to help revise and reinforce taught mental maths skills.
Children should complete 1 column per day (Mon - Fri) in their Mental Maths Activity Booklet.
Tables Revision
This week your child should revise the number stories:
Group 1 – revise stories 5 to 10
Group 2 – revise stories 5 to 10
Number Work
In this section we will set out the number work activities as we would teach the children each week.
1. Children will have a mental maths objective to cover each week. This will help to improve quick number recall.
2. Children will have a written numeracy activity to complete each day. This will either be in the form of an uploaded worksheet or will be pages from the New Heinemann Maths (NHM) booklets which have been sent home.
Mental Maths Objective
Revise counting forwards and backwards in 1s, 2s, 5s, and 10s within 100
For example:
Start at 41 and count forwards in 10s to 71.
41, 51, 61, 71
Start at 70 and count backwards in 5s to 40
70, 65, 60, 55, 50, 45, 40
Number Work Activity 1
Choosing the correct operation
Complete the attached worksheet by deciding whether each question should be addition or subtraction and writing the correct operation to complete the question.
For example, is this an addition or subtraction question

45 + 5= 50
50 + 10 = 60
Problem Solving
Problem Solving encourages children to think outside the box and apply known strategies to solve common numeracy problems.
Encourage your child to compete these activities as independently as possible to cultivate their problem solving skills.
