Extra Maths from Miss Nicholson
Welcome to Miss Nicholson's Extra Maths Page
I hope you are all keeping safe and well. We can't wait to see you all back in school! While school is closed, there are plenty of things to keep your maths brains active on the learning pages for your year group and a few extra maths links and challenges here too to keep you busy and learning.
Our School Maths Vision - we would love your help!
Written Calculation Methods for Years 3, 4, 5 and 6
Spring Term 2021
We have made a series of four videos for each of the four operations for each year group to show the written methods that our children in KS2 are currently using to add, subtract, multiply and divide.
Please click on the links below to view these.
Maths on the Move!
Home challenge sheets are available for Year 1&2, Year 3&4 and Year 5&6. A great way to practise maths skills but keep on the move too!
We'd love to see photos of you completing the challenges. Send them to your year group email addresses.

On your class learning pages, you will see that your teachers are keeping an eye out for who is practising the most each week. See if you can get your name on the list of people they spot!

Interactive Puzzles
There are lots of interactive games and puzzles on the nrich website.
Click here to explore some.
Try this one...
In Teddy Town, teddies are either red or yellow and they live in red or yellow houses. There are 4 teddies - 2 red and 2 yellow, and 4 houses - 2 red and 2 yellow.
Can you match each teddy to a house so that the four pairs are all different from each other?
If you solve that quickly, the puzzle gets harder so well done and keep going!
Maths Games
There are lots of maths games you can be playing to help keep your maths skills as sharp as they can be! Give some of these a go!
Maths Websites
