Maths

In Maths we are continuing to follow White Rose.  During this term our main focus is multiplication and division then length and perimeter.

A big focus within Years 3 and 4 this year is times table knowledge. By the end of year 4, the children should know their times tables up to 12 x 12 by heart.

Below are links to two documents showing what children should know and be able to do in Maths by the end of years 3 and 4:
