In KS1, we aim to build your child’s fluency around number bonds and number fact as this is the foundation of maths. Your child will be assigned weekly activities on Numbots. NumBots is a comprehensive maths platform to reinforce your child’s understanding of what they have learnt at school. NumBots adopts the best teaching practices to take children from counting on their fingers, to adding and subtracting two-digit numbers.
The programme complements what children are learning in school and focusses on securing any gaps in their knowledge, before moving them onto the next challenge. This self-paced journey improves children’s confidence and means they are fully prepared to tackle each new topic.
We recommend playing for at least 3 minutes a day, 4 or 5 days a week. NumBots is available to play via the website or mobile app, so your child will be able to learn maths at home or on-the-go, whenever suits your family. Your child’s class teacher will assign your child log in details to access NumBots at home.
In KS2, BSPS maths homework focuses on the pupils learning their times tables. We have invested in an online fun platform, Times Tables Rock Stars (TTRS). Times tables serve as building blocks for higher level maths concepts. With a strong understanding of multiplication, children can succeed at division, fractions, percentages and more! Times tables have practical applications for financial literacy. Fluency in times tables build confidence across maths lessons. Your child’s class teacher will assign your child log in details to access TTRS at home.
Maths@Home
The website contains maths sheets for Y2-Y5, which supplement the maths learning in the classroom. These will be sent home as a pack at the beginning of each half term. They are to be completed weekly and they should be returned to school in the week beginning 31.3.25 for the teachers to check.
There are answer sheets so the children can self-mark their work immediately and check for any errors. The first page of each maths sheet will be accessible to all learners. The second page of the maths sheet will contain challenge questions.
If you feel that your child would benefit from extra maths sheets then please access the White Rose Parent Booklets.
