maths

Please keep the papers that you are given for homework in a plastic envelope.They have information to help the children understand each topic that we cover and will help them revise for tests.I would rather you kept them in this way as they often fall out of the maths book.
We are doubling/halving and multiplying at the moment.
Here are some games to help the children
