Maths
In maths this half term, we are working on Place Value and Addition and Subtraction. Click on the links below and work through each activity. You should aim to do one activity a day to keep those skills simmering! If you’ve completed all of these activities (or if you just want an extra challenge), then try out some of the problems in the ‘maths challenges’ document at the bottom of the page.
These activities are extra to what we are doing in school:
