Extras 

• Try the Daily 10 ( Link on our Page on Website) to test your tables. You can also use it to test fractions, decimals ...etc. Challenge yourself to Level 6!
• Mangahigh - We used this during Maths Week. It’s free again until the end of May. Your passwords should be written in your Homework  Diaries. 

My recommendation would be that you would work on our own Level 5th Class( Unless you are finding it too hard and then move down a level or up a level if you find it too easy.Always challenge yourself.)
 Also try and work on whatever topic you are doing in the Maths Book.
