 A ‘Learn It’ is a number fact that is learnt so well that it can be recalled instantly. It includes the entire 1 digit add 1 digit answers as well as the 1 digit multiplied by 1 digit answers.  The pupils should know all ‘Learn Its’ as well as they know their own name! When they recall these facts there is no thinking time.  They should also know the opposite and inverse, e.g. is they know 2+3=5, they also rapidly know 3+2=5, 5-2=3 and 5- 3=2.  When this is achieved it opens the door to a whole new world of numeracy e.g. 80 x 70 is easy to do if you know 8 x 7.

If you would like copies please ask Miss Jeavons/ or me and I will get them from her

Look out for WILF lists in the classroom! Use the games and ideas in the Maths Leaflets – maths can be fun! Look for online games and apps too. Show your child maths in real life all the time, especially shopping, measuring/weighing and time – this is free 1:1 Tuition on problem solving and needs no fancy maths knowledge! Recite number facts (LEARN ITS) at every opportunity – the sooner they are learnt, the more confident a child feels in every lesson. Top attainment is almost always linked to knowledge of number bonds and times tables at the age appropriate level.

Spelling can be really tricky for some children! Let’s have a go! How would you spell fish? Obviously it’s ghoti ! gh= f as in cough o = i as in women ti = sh as in function Hum…not so easy is it!
