Numeracy and Mathematics
Numeracy and Mathematics
Within Numeracy and Mathematics there are three organisers:
- Number, Money and Measure
- Shape, Position and Movement
- Information Handling
As you can see, there is much more to maths than just remembering times tables and doing sums. At Hazlehead pupils have the opportunity to learn numeracy and mathematics in a variety of ways and contexts including exploration through play and the outdoors.
These opportunities help your child to see patterns, to locate themselves and find their way, to know about the shapes that make up the spaces around them, to measure things, to tell the time, and to understand graphs, facts and figures that are so much a part of our world now.
Above all, they need to be able to use the maths they know in everyday situations. That's why your support is important and appreciated.
So please don't hesitate to ask your child's teacher about how you can best help your child.
In the meantime, here are some resources to help you connect with the maths that is happening in the classroom.

We know that parents want a better understanding of which maths concepts their child is learning and ideas for how they can help their child practice at home. We have created some resources we would like to share with parents.

A Big Maths Parents Guide for each of the 20 challenge levels in Big Maths
Your child's teacher will put in the school diary which level your child is working at. If you look at the Big Maths Guide for Parents you can see the type of questions asked at each level and then be able to practice the types of questions which would best support your child. Additional suggestions may be assigned as homework in Google Classroom.
