Times Tables Rockstars continues to be one of most enjoyable maths online games out there, with children across Key Stage 2 competing for the best loot, times and scores. 

Like everything in life, the more time you spend working at your times tables, the better you will become. 

Mr Warren has set up a competition between the Key Stage 2 classes below. It looks like Year 3 are playing Year 4 whilst Year 5 are hosting Year 6. Good luck to everyone that chooses to take part and contribute to their team. 

As mentioned above, any forgotten or misplaced login details can be retrieved through a message through our Facebook page or a phone call to the school on 0191 433 4095. 

White Rose Maths are producing weekly video maths sessions for children across the primary age range. With work set for children in the Early Years Foundation Stage all the way through to Year 6 - there isn't a better place to find support, explanations and activities for your child during the lockdown. 

Maths with Parents requires parents/carers to register but it remains a free resource. The site hosts some fantastic videos featuring parents working with their children showing techniques to solve tricky puzzles. The site caters for every year group but we have found the Early Years videos to be the best. They are particularly good at showing how household items can be used to make it a bit more parent-friendly. 

TopMarks plays host to a great range of interactive games (most of which are tablet friendly) covering all aspects of the maths curriculum for children from EYFS to Year 6. There are many great fun games for children of all ages to play covering many different strands of the maths curriculum.

NRICH host a fantastic range of resources that are used throughout our school (and beyond actually). 

Like many of the other pages linked above and below, NRICH have put together a home resource and support section. Mrs Deavin points out the below activities that she recommends for her cracking Reception pupils. 

This one looks at comparing number rods, just like the kids do with Numberblocks. they adore in the classroom. 

Stuck for problem solving? This activity uses shapes to explain some harder concepts. And you have a go with the virtual pegboard right here. 

Numbots requires your child to use their own username and password to login (you can message the school office via Facebook or give them a call if your child can't remember theirs) and primarily supports children in Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2. 

These interactive resources are fabulous for helping children develop their sense of number and how the number system works. 

Primarily used across the Early Years Foundation Stage at Caedmon Primary School, Numberblocks introduces numbers and the number system through videos and games. 

Using characters from the world of CeeBeeBies, your child can dance and sing along to a variety of maths songs. 

Solvemoji includes a vast range of free and varied problem solving challenges that are designed to keep children thinking. With puzzles being adapted daily, there are a wide range of challenges requiring the children to use logic, trial and error, reasoning and problem solving techniques to find the answer. 

One of the all time great staples of teaching across the Early Years Foundation Stage and Key Stage 1. This 10 Frame comes with a variety of activities that help children to count, build numbers, work out number bonds and add quantities. 

On the English section of this site, we have some fantastic links from Oxford Owl. The excellence of the site doesn't stop there however. Oxford Owl Maths have some great activities designed to support anxious parents/carers, and children of a variety of ages. 

With particular reference to Mrs Deavin's Reception class - this game requires children to match bead strings to the amount; a really good pictorial way of representing and showing numbers. 

This activity challenges children to find answers to some addition number sentences. Remember those resource packs from school? Well the lovely Mrs Deavin has popped some ten frames in there to help you solve these. Theres some for subtraction too if you are feeling really brave. 

Moving onto a different area of maths - but still with am emphasis on the children of Reception - this activity helps children make and understand patterns. And this one helps you put both number and pattern skills together to complete some sequences. As Run DMC would say, 'It's Tricky!'

Banking group NatWest have created MoneySense - a home learning program designed to support parents with the delivery of a maths curriculum whilst on lockdown. 

The games are actually really fun! There is software to support budgeting (something that as a 32 year-old man I am dreadful at), savings and operating a bank. 

Helpfully, the website is divided into subsections depending on age-range meaning navigation is easy and finding something appropriate doesn't take long. 

This is an American website which offers thousands of FREE printable worksheets to complete at home ranging from letter formation, join the dots, colouring, addition, subtraction, punctuation, grammar, mindfulness rightward recognition amongst many many many more! All of the resources can be filtered by category and by year group to help find the resource you want quickly! 

The worksheet selection can be accessed by clicking here!

Jack Hartman's YouTube channel is a fun, entertaining and extremely educational page with hundreds of videos designed to support children across the primary age-range. Mrs Deavin wholeheartedly recommends this resource for her Reception class. 

Jack strikes me as a really nice bloke.
