Rainbow Maths
04 Mar 2016
We are introducing a new Maths Challenge called 'Rainbow Maths' throughout the school.
In Year 3 the focus is rapid recall of multiplication and division facts up to x12 tables.
The first challenge is to learn/revise multiplication facts for x3 x4 x9 and x11.
We will be practising these times tables during the week for 5 mins at the beginning of the lessons.
On Fridays there will be a test to see if they can earn a certificate.
Children will need to answer 15 questions correctly in 2 mins to achieve this.
However they will also be able to get a certificate for doing them correctly in a longer time to encourage them with their learning.
There will be a mix of all the tables listed above and as usual they will be out of order.
So, as from this week children will be expected to practise multiplication facts for their homework. This will be their homework until the end of the term.
