How parents can help at home
There are many ways you can support your child at home. Here are some suggestions about how you could help:
- Encourage your child to talk about what they have learnt at school.
- Link learning to real life experiences - for example if your child is struggling with addition try using coins to help them. Research has shown that a child will be more successful in their learning if they can make links to real life and it helps them see the value!
- Listen to your child reading – Please try to read on a daily basis with your child and ask them questions about what they have read.
- Encourage your child to practise and learn their spellings– discuss spelling patterns or rules.
- Talk about your child’s homework – discuss the work and ask your child to explain it to you.
- Get your child to login to TTRS or Numbots at home to improve their number fluency!
Year 4 children will complete the multiplication check in June and are expected to know all of their times tables. Maths Frame do a free replica test of the one the children will sit in June. This is a really good resource to help them get used to the format and speed required: https://mathsframe.co.uk/en/resources/resource/477/Multiplication-Tables-Check
