· The use of mental methods leading to effective use of written methods
· Development of the children’s mathematical vocabulary
· An effective pace
· Manageable and effective differentiation

Challenging Maths!

Once a week some mathematicians get together from year 6 year 5 and year 4 to do some thinking maths, we do lots of sheets of work. Some are really hard and some are really easy.
Today we had to do two number puzzles and one Tennis puzzle.It is very fun to do. Working together is good to share ideas and information - working with each other is challenging!
