This term in Numeracy, Grade 3 students will focus on fractions, length, patterns, data, addition and subtraction. Grade 4 students will work on strengthening their skills in decimals, length and area, 3D shapes, data and addition and subtraction. They will also participate in daily number fluency exercises to improve their quick recall of number facts and daily retrieval to reinforce their understanding of key concepts.

We have a subscription to Times Table Rockstars, an online program to help your child practice multiplication and division facts. Please get in touch with your child’s teacher for their login details.
