7. How you can support… Maths
Working towards
Children MUST know their times tables and be able to recall them at speed. This includes the related division facts at year 6. Times Table Rockstars is a fantastic way to increase this and has already begun to make a huge difference.
Look at the gaps from the most recent tests and see which areas need to be worked on. MyMaths is a good place to start with these areas.

Heat Maps on TTRS are a fantastic tool to help identify where your child needs to improve.
The greener the times table the quicker your child is at answering that times table.

For a Year 6 pupil we are aiming to be able to answer all times tables and corresponding division facts in under 3 seconds.
