Maths is practise is best done little and often. A short 5 minute game to practise number facts every day will help you to learn them and get better and better!
One of our favourite games at school is called Hit the Button. This is great for getting more fluent at our times tables (you need to learn your 2x, 5x and 10x tables this year. If you can do them, move onto your 3x and 4x tables as they are helpful to know now too). It is also helpful for doing quick addition and subtraction, especially for number bonds between 0-20.
Daily 10 is another quick game to practise your mental maths. Choose the level for your year group (so you would choose Level 2 for Year 2 questions) and then any area you want to practise.
If you find a topic a little tricky or want support with a specific area, BBC Bitsize has lessons and games on every part of the curriculum for your year group.
