Oak - Mrs Fielder and Mrs Clark Homework

 
Aim: to keep on top of your ‘key facts’ and build automaticity with recall to allow fluency within maths learning.
 
Knowing the key facts ‘off by heart’ frees up space in your working memory when solving more complex calculations, allowing you to reason and problem solve with greater depth.
 
You can practise these facts in many creative ways such as throwing dice and calculating totals and noticing sets of numbers when out and about (there are 3 lambs in the field and 2 sheep, there are 5 sheep altogether). You can also use ‘numbots’ to play games to help you build fluency with these facts and number sense. https://play.numbots.com/#/account/school-login/29539 This can be played on laptops and tablets. (If you need your login, please speak to your child’s class teacher who can provide this.)
