Learning Maths Facts - Building Blocks to Numeracy

At St Mary’s we base all our Mathematics learning and teaching on current research. This research is highlighted throughout our policies, teacher's planning and practices in our classroom. One of the base skills in Mathematics is the automatic recall of facts. This recall includes simple addition and subtraction facts, as well as multiplication and division facts. 

When students engage in repeated practice of these skills, it helps to embed them in their long-term memory. These skills are explicitly taught and assessed each day in our classrooms and shared as home learning. Students who engage in practice each night are more likely to develop their automatic recall, which supports students to build confidence in their mathematical skills and apply their knowledge in more complex problem solving situations. 

What can you do to support your child’s automatic recall?
