Tips for helping numeracy at home.
Below is a range of resources designed to support pupil’s acquire the skills they need to be successful learners in St Mary’s and beyond.
The resources are simply designed to be guides and as such some of the ideas maybe difficult for some children to use as every child is different and learns in their own way. If you wish to discuss these guides further, and other ways to support your child’s learning then please contact your class teacher.
NUMBOTS and TIME TABLES ROCKSTARS
In school, we use the NumBots and Times Tables Rockstar apps to develop the children’s mental maths skills. Both apps can be downloaded for free onto a tablet/iPad or mobile phone. Please see your child’s class teacher for their login. (The login is the same for both apps.)

NumBots is designed to improve your child’s recall of number bonds and addition and subtraction. This app can be used from Reception onwards.
Times tables Rock Stars
Times Tables Rock Stars is aimed at developing recall of the times tables and the related division facts up to the 12 times table. This app is usually used from Year 2 onwards.
