How can you support your child's maths?

The most important thing for you to do with your children at home is to practise times tables. Times tables feed into so many areas of maths, and children who able to recall their times tables quickly are generally more able to access other parts of the maths curriculum.

All children have a log in to Times tables Rock Stars so they can practice their times tables learning at home:

Please see the link below for ideas of ways you could help your child to learn their times tables.
