Dear parents and children,
Below you will find links to some videos which might help you to understand and practise some of the skills we learn in maths lessons. Each of the videos talks you though the different methods that you will have seen in lessons and will give your parents a chance to see how we do it too (it might be a bit different from how they learnt it!).
I've tried to organise these into subheadings to make it them easier to find.
