Help your child with Maths

How to Help Your Children at Home:

Regular practice of Times Tables and number bonds at home will really help your child to develop confidence in maths and secure the knowledge that underpins a good understanding of various maths methods. There are a number of online resources which provide useful information and provide exciting ways for children to practice their maths skills at home. When practising at home, we generally recommend that a little bit of practice each day is better than trying to do too much all in one go.

TimesTable Rockstars

At Heyford Park, we use TTRockstars to improve our times tables. All of the children have a personal login and we expect them to practise their times tables regularly (a little bit everyday if possible) at home, using the website.

What are the aims of TTRockstars?

The programme has one aim - to boost times table recall speeds.

What are the benefits of Times Table Rock Stars?

Incorrect answers are always immediately corrected in front of the pupil so that they start to associate the correct answer to every question. The clever code behind the scenes works out which times table facts each pupil is consistently taking longer to answer and then it gradually starts to present these facts more frequently until pupils have mastered them. It will also ask related division questions 20% of the time in order to reinforce division facts.

The White Rose Maths website has a number of resources to support children’s maths learning at home:

‘Maths with Michael’ (Maths with Michael | Michael Underwood | White Rose Maths (whiteroseeducation.com)) a series of videos and accompanying guides for parents which cover some key concepts in primary mathematics.
The one-minute maths app (1-minute maths app | White Rose Maths (whiteroseeducation.com) )which allows children to practice key maths concepts on a mobile phone or tablet (including a downloadable reward chart).
Free workbooks (Parent resources | Maths workbooks | White Rose Maths (whiteroseeducation.com))
