Forgetting is normal


Remembering helps future recall


We use a HW that gets students

to practise remembering things


Self-testing and peer-testing

is one of the best ways to

remember things


Students have a Recall Test

once a week


If students need extra support,

we need to find a way…

• Maths at Key Stage 2 has changed

• Maths at Key Stage 4 has changed

• Our Year 7 curriculum this year is changing to reflect these changes.

• Deeper understanding and more reasoning.

• More Physical resources to aid this

• More visual representations


Three ideas for how you can help your child:

1. Overview sheets

2. Homework

3. MathsWatch


Overview sheets• Every term• Gives the topic and

MathsWatch video number.

• Lets you know when we are planning to have a learning landmark


Homework• Will always be due

in on a Tuesday

• Covers topics they have learnt the entire year

• Covers some key topics from last year
