Linked below are some key mental maths skills for each year group. We know that secure and rapid recall of these maths facts help children to understand the relationships between numbers. By committing key facts to memory they can be recalled fluently, freeing up thinking to work on higher level maths concepts. We will of course learn these number facts in school, but support and practice at home helps secure these key maths building blocks.
