Warfield CE Primary School- Support Maths learning at home
‘Friends on a learning journey achieving success together’
Year 4, Autumn Term- This is an overview of the maths teaching which your child will
experience in their daily maths lessons during this term. Please note that children will be
extended from, or supported in, these objectives as teachers see necessary to help move their
learning forward. You will be updated regularly through termly parents’ evenings and yearly
reports of your child’s progress in maths. If you have a general question about your child’s
maths learning please feel free to contact your child’s teacher or Mrs Exton, Maths Subject
Leader.

Ways to help your child practice maths
at home
•Work out how many to the next
multiple of 100 and the previous
multiple of 100.
•Solve subtractions of 3-digit numbers
by counting up to next multiple of 10
then to multiple of 100 and then on.
•Add several numbers using number
facts, including multiples of 10 or 100.
•Recognise what each digit represents
in a 4-digit number
•Compare 4-digit numbers writing
inequality sentences using < and >.
•Add 2-digit numbers mentally
•Begin to recognise × and ÷ facts for
the 6 times-table.
