St Patrick's Catholic Primary School

There are 4 main areas of number that are covered within the curriculum:

Place Value

Addition and Subtraction

Multiplication and Division

Fractions

Place Value

During this unit we have begun to explore the value of digits in 3 digit numbers, understanding the importance. We have used base 10 to represent various 2 digit, 3 digit and even 4 digit numbers and ordered numbers from greatest to smallest. 

Addition and Subtraction

We have begun to explore different methods of adding and subtracting, both mentally and written. We have explored:

Bridging, making 10, starting with the largest and the column method. 

Multiplication and Division

We have begun to explore our 3 and 4 times tables. We have used songs, chants and practical methods to help us learn them. Keep practicing at home! 

Written Methods

We are begining to explore written methods for both multiplication and division. We have focussed on short multiplication and bus stop division. Keep practicing these methods.
