Make sure they tell you why they think something! • SPaG – correct them if their grammar is not quite right! • Encourage them to get involved in real maths: • how much is the basket of shopping? • What change will they receive? • Measure things out on a scale and convert to an equivalent measure • Look at timetables and plan a journey • Support them with their times tables • Guide them to the BBC website – for both KS2 and KS3 Maths and English
