Each week in your Maths home learning there will be two different types of activities. There will be a main key objective and a Maths fluency key objective. The main objective this week is to add and take away fractions. The Maths fluency key objective is to identify prime numbers. Remember to keep working on your times tables using Times Tables Rockstars.
There are fraction activities available in the homework section on Education City, In addition have a look at the fractions activities on the Mathletics website.
Each Friday we will post the answers to the challenges.
