How to help your child with learning (videos)

Mathematics: How We Teach It

We know that the methods children use in school today can look a little different from the ones you might remember! To help you support your child at home, we have filmed a series of short demonstration videos.

What You’ll Find Here

The videos below are organised by the Year Group in which a specific method is usually introduced.

Watch Together: These clips show the step-by-step methods we use in the classroom for addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and bar modelling.

Flexible Learning: Please remember that children develop at different rates. Your child might be revisiting a video from a previous year to build confidence.

Have a look and if you would like more assistance, please speak with your child's teacher.
