On The Boil Maths

We are continuing with our successful "On the Boil Maths". Each half-term there is a mental maths focus which we will expect children to practise until they are quick and confident. Our first focus is number bonds (e.g. numbers which add to make 10: 8 and 2 etc.), and our second is times table facts. Later in the year we practise our related division facts. We hope that parents will continue working on these targets with their children.

For some practice please try the links below or go to this page for On the Boil resources.

Maths Tips for Parents and Carers

Below are two videos from the one on Adding and Subtracting showing how the methods the children use develop as they move up the school (note there is no soundtrack).

Here are some recommended websites to practise times tables and their related division facts:

TT Rockstars All children have a login for this website, it should be the same login as RM Easimaths.
​Oswego Math Magician Excellent for multiplication facts up to 10x10. 20 seconds in a minute is a great standard to reach!
​Transum Tablesmaster Multiplication facts up to 13.
​BBC Times Table Grid A super test of times tables.
Topmarks Hit the Button Good twist: given answer, what is the question?

Here are some websites for children to practise their Number Bonds:
​Number bonds to 10
Number bonds to 20
Number bonds to 100
Click on Number Bonds then  Make 100
