Long-Term Curriculum Map for Year 4 (Maths)

We hope you find this document useful - it shows the 'Big Picture' of how our learning is organised across the year. Our plan ensures coverage of the national curriculum and is carefully designed to ensure progression of skills.

Year 4 MTC (Multiplication Tables Check)

Year 4 is a critical time for children's future progress in maths - not only in Years 5 and 6 but for the rest of their lives! By the end of the year, children are expected to be able to FLUENTLY recall all of their times tables facts and they will be tested on this ability. 

DfE (Department for Education) leaflet for PARENTS about the MTC:

Times Tables 'Tracker'

Print off (or copy!) this tracker - it's a great way to check on which facts you know or still need to learn. It's also amazing that if you are on track, then there are only 15 facts to learn in Year 4!

Number Facts (Help at Home)

Year 4 is a critical year for acquiring and mastering key number facts. These include the fluent recall of 'times tables' facts as well as, for example, the ability to count in multiples of 25.

The resources below include a copy of our school guidance leaflet (you will also receive a folded, paper copy of this) and some links to key resources and websites to support your child's progress with this critical knowledge building.

'Additional' Homework

For any parents or children requiring 'additional' homework (on top of that which we ordinarily set in class), then we recommend the use of Corbettmaths' primary '5-a-day' activity page. This resource includes graded questions for every day of the year (as well as answer keys to check on progress).

PARENTS: BPPS Calculation Guidance (Part 1)

This part of our calculation guidance sets out, in detail, our key principles that we use to support children's learning when they are calculating in maths.
