Marvellous Maths facts

Sunday 18 March 2018

At Moortown Primary, we want to be a happy and healthy place to learn. That includes making sure our younger children, in Year 1 and Year 2, know the key number facts that will help to secure fluency in Maths now and in the future – facts like 3+4=?, 2+?=10 and 17+?=20.

Our Addition Facts guide provides a guide to what addition facts we expect pupils in Year 1 and Year 2 to know (the table might look confusing – please ask us if you’re unsure).

In a recent assessment, we can see some great progress made by our children in securing these facts.

For our Year 1 children in the Autumn term, the average score was 11.1 and now it’s 15.5 out of 20. 24% of children scored 15+ in Autumn – this has now increased to 66%.

(It’s important to remember the aim is for children to be secure by the end of Key Stage 1 – that’s the end of Year 2.)

Our Year 2 children continue this progress. The average score is now 17.9 with 89% of children scoring 15+ out of 20.

Well done, everyone! And thank you for supporting your child at home.
