What learning looks like
Use objects, a drawing or a number line before asking for a written method. Ask your child to explain one step and test it with a different number.
Teaching is followed by examples, practice and a chance to save written or described practical work. Parents use the separate guide to review submissions.

A real activity to discuss
Build 4,206 and 3,508 using labelled paper cards. Write each in words and expanded form.
This Year 4 task shows how an activity connects to its learning goal. Each year group uses its own tasks and level of support.
Check understanding and plan the next step
Ask the learner to explain a choice or apply an idea again with less help. Review saved work alongside practice feedback. Completion ticks are not grades, and the first month is not the whole annual subject programme.
