Ways to support your Year 6 child:

Please practise the following skills at home: • Times tables including division facts and related

facts – so that the children know them with quick recall at random.

• Real-life problems – use real life situations such as going to the shops as an opportunity for the children to practise their maths.

• Time – try to find opportunities for the children to tell the time on different clocks and read timetables.
