• 1 Minute Maths App

  Thu 20 Oct 2022

  1 Minute Maths

   

  We are using 'Number Sense' which is a program to develop children's confidence and flexibility with number and fluency in addition and subtraction facts. To support your child at home with their development in this area of Maths, there is an app which we would recommend. The free app is called 1 Minute Maths by White Rose Hub and will develop confidence with subitising and the four operations in Maths.
