WHITE ROSE '1 MINUTE MATHS' APP

WHITE ROSE '1 MINUTE MATHS' APP

We use White Rose Maths in school and they have just launched a FREE '1 Minute Maths' app which can be used on both Android, Apple and Kindle devices. 

The app is aimed to support our Key Stage 1 pupils and can also be accessed by children in Foundation Stage Two who are starting to learn about number. 

How does it work?

Each 1-minute task gives children engaging and targeted practice in basic number. The app covers a range of topics on arithmetic and subitising, and generates questions randomly so your child never sees the same ones in sequence – meaning they learn the concept and not a series of answers. Once a task completes, answers are presented on the screen giving your child instant feedback. It’s so simple to use and, most of all, lots of FUN!

What's more, the app has no specific starting point, so a child can pick up and play at any time, with no set place to start. Accessible AND easy!

10 reasons for using 1-Minute Maths: 

1. Excellent number practice with no distractions.
2. Enjoyable tasks children want to complete.
3. Instills basic number concepts during early years.
4. A clear process that children pick up immediately
5. No login or internet access needed. Download and play!
6. A motivator – children enjoy trying to beat their last score!
7. Helpful hints give support when ineeded.
8. Brilliant for building confidence and fluency.
9. Random question generator instills concepts, not answers.
10. Completely FREE to download!

The app can be downloaded through the links below:  Apple, Android and Kindle .

Foundation Two (Reception): The experts suggest your child begins with tasks about subitising. It’s one of the most critical number skills a young child develops – recognising number groups without counting - making it a perfect place for Reception children to start.

Year 1 : First check to see the child has mastered subitising. Next, we recommend moving onto tasks focused on adding or subtracting number bonds to 10.

Year 2 : For these children, we suggest trying tasks focused on adding or subtracting number bonds to 20. Again, as a teacher, parent or carer, we recommend you first check your child’s ability with number bonds to 10 before starting these tasks to 20.

Have fun - please tell your child's teacher how they are doing so they can help and support, as required.
