Things you could practise with your child at home.  Use a 100 square to add groups of 10 eg , ,  Partition a number into tens and units eg 76= Try 37, 92.  Draw a blank number line and work out  Work out using partitioning. Can you use the diennes ( bundles of 10 straws) to support your learning? Can you write it out, showing your workings?

Subtraction

Multiplication

Things to do at home: Telling the time Days of the week/months of the year Money and shopping, working out change and recognising coins Measuring and weighing while cooking/baking. What is more/less? Talking about jobs and careers that need maths as a skill.

Finally… Children need to know  The maths vocabulary associated with the four different operations eg add/plus/total/altogether/more than for addition.  The symbol for each operation  Recognise when to use and apply eg when solving word problems.  It is also important to be able to apply in different contexts. Recognising the maths in our everyday lives, playing games and talking ‘maths’ is really important. There are also lots of games online that your child can play to support their learning e.g ict.games.co.uk/ top marks
