At SMH we follow Abacus Maths scheme from EYFS to Year 6 which is a Maths and Numeracy toolkit that has been carefully crafted on a robust approach to create inspired and confident young mathematicians. The spiral nature of the Abacus programme allows teachers and pupils to regularly revisit key themes and develop a wide range of strategies. To help children make sense of, and consolidate their Maths and Numeracy, Abacus provides a combination of games, interactive activities, pupil videos and pupil worksheets, focused around an interactive world where children can earn rewards and personalise their own learning.

Multiplication Tables Check 2022
The Multiplication Tables Check is a key stage 2 assessment to be taken by pupils in Year 4 (in June). The purpose of the Multiplication Tables Check is to make sure that Year 4 pupils can recall their times tables fluently. Knowledge of multiplication tables helps children to solve problems quickly and flexibly, and allows them to tackle more complex mathematics later on in school.
