Numeracy
Mental maths assessment Friday
Every week you need to practice your timestables and division facts for all 12 tables.
Eg. 6 X 7 = 42, 7 X 6 = 42, 42 ÷ 6 = 7, 42 ÷ 7 = 6.
Focus on those you find most difficult (6, 7 and 8 X are usually the trickiest!).
Write down the division facts in order. Learn them.
Now you can write them down in random order. Answer them as quick as possible. Ask someone in the family to test you. You can also play games to help you to learn them. Eg. Write the multiples of 6 on cards. Now write down the division facts on some cards. Shuffle the cards. See if you can match the cards as quick as you can.
Complete your two homework sheets which are due on Thursday 12th July 2012
