In Maths, we follow the White Rose Maths scheme, which is split into teaching units for year 4 & year 5 separately (and opportunities for support and extension within each unit). You will find links to the Addition & Subtraction calculation policy and Multiplication & Division calculation policy below.

We use a range of sites that can help support learning at home. Every child in Maple class is given their own unique username and password to access these sites:
