☀️ Summer 1 – White Rose Maths Overview (Class 1/2D)

�� What We’re Learning

This half term, we will be building our confidence and understanding across key areas of maths using the White Rose scheme. Our focus includes:

• Multiplication and Division

  • Counting in 2s, 5s and 10s

  • Making equal groups

  • Using arrays and repeated addition

• Fractions

  • Recognising and finding half and quarter

  • Understanding parts of a whole

• Measurement

  • Measuring length and height

  • Comparing and ordering measurements

  • Using appropriate mathematical vocabulary

• Time

  • Telling the time to o’clock and half past

  • Sequencing events throughout the day

�� Skills We’re Developing

Throughout our maths learning, children will be developing:

• Fluency – recalling number facts quickly and accurately

• Reasoning – explaining their thinking using mathematical language

• Problem-solving – applying their skills to a range of real-life situations

• Confidence – becoming independent and resilient learners

• Mathematical vocabulary – using correct terms such as equal groups, halves, quarters, longer, shorter

�� How You Can Support at Home

You can make a big difference by supporting maths learning in everyday life:

• �� Practice counting in 2s, 5s and 10s (e.g. counting steps, toys, or snacks)

• �� Explore fractions by cutting food into halves and quarters

• ⏰ Talk about time – ask your child to spot o’clock and half past on clocks

• �� Measure at home – compare heights of objects or family members

• �� Play games – board games, puzzles and number apps all help build skills

• �� Encourage explanation – ask “How do you know?” to develop reasoning
