Home Learning
Home learning as it was during 2020-2021 is (hopefully) a thing of the past! However, we are aware that some of you thoroughly enjoyed participating in some of the challenges and found some of the websites beneficial to your learning so we will keep the below links available.
Methods we teach in Maths at Beacon Hill School
The way that we teach children now and the methods they are expected to use are very different to some of those that we would have been taught when we were at school. To support parents and carers understand these new methods, the school has produced a calculation policy. This shows the different methods that are taught in each year group with examples of how they are used. We hope that this guide supports families in working with their children understanding what is expected of them from the mathematics national curriculum.
Addition Home Learning Resources and Websites
To enable children who are at home to continue with their learning, we will update the school website with information, tasks and activities. Here is a list of useful website which cover different areas of the National Curriculum. Over the coming days, teachers will update their specific class areas with further activities.
