Students should aim to be fluent with their times-tables (from 2-12), so regular practice at home is a great idea. This will help support the development of more advanced mathematical skills. MathsWatch revision assignments are set prior to assessments and the site can be used for review of Maths skills and techniques at any point: CorbettMaths primary 5-a-day provides 5 practice questions (at 4 different levels) every day of the year, which can be helpful for increasing confidence and maintaining Maths skills: |
