Mental Agility

Welcome back! We hope you had a lovely holiday and are feeling motivated for the new term! 🙂

We will begin this term with the red level of Mental Agility and

Please find attached activities we will be covering in class!

As always this will also be our Numeracy homework!

Thank you for all your support at home!

PRIMARY 1:

PRIMARY 2,3 and 4:

PRIMARY 5, 6 and 7:

One of the most important skills in numeracy is to be able to count forward and backward.

It is vital to not always start at 1:

  • Can you count in 1s starting from 3?
  • Can you skip count in 10s starting from 50?
  • Can you count backwards in1s from 98?

Lots of games, taking turns counting or passing an object can make it fun and part of your daily routine!

Catchy songs can help fluency too:

Times tables practice is also crucial:
