Following the White Rose Maths scheme, year 4 will cover six main blocks of learning over the course of the summer term: decimals; money; time; shape; statistics and position and direction. As part of the White Rose Maths scheme, each block is broken down into a series of small learning steps. Combined, these small learning steps then cover all the curriculum content your child needs to know in small, related chunks.
This term’s small learning steps for each block

One of the most important things for your child to have mastered and maintain is their knowledge of times tables. For an overview of our weekly times tables focus, please view our Term 5 and Term 6 Homework Grid. To complement their work in lessons reinforcing their fluency, recall and commutativity of these timetables, your child will be set a weekly activity to complete as part of their homework on Sumdog.
