Mathematics
In school we follow the White Rose maths scheme. White Rose have adapted the scheme into a home learning package for the lockdown period.
At the end of each video there will be suggestions of practical activities to extend the learning further. As with other areas of learning, aim for short bursts of 10-20 minutes depending on the development stage of your child. Please refer to the following overview:
