history or geography
Collect own data on personal project and present information in formats of their choosing, charts, graphs and tables
and answer specific questions related to their research
Times tables at St Mary’s
Across the school we expect the majority of pupils to achieve the
following standards –
• YR – Begin to count in steps – 1’s, 2’s and 10’s
• Y1 – Be able to count in steps of 1, 2, 5 and 10 confidently to
the 10th term
• Y2 –To know their 2, 5, and 10 times tables (as times tables not
as counting)
• Y3 – To know their 3, 4, and 8 times tables (consolidate
previous as well)
• Y4 – Consolidation and move onto the 6, 7, 9, 11 and 12 times
tables
• Y5/6 – Consolidation and application
By ensuring this we are preparing the children to work with longer
calculations and use written methods competently.
