HOW PARENTS CAN HELP WITH MATHEMATICS

Please use your child's Hero goals as a guide as to their 'next step' learning.

Some additional ideas for engaging your child in Maths learning:

  • Number – order numbers to 10 then 20 then 100, 1 more, 1 less, 10 more, 10 less, counting in 2s, 5s, 10s, 20s, 50s, 100s, backwards and forwards, doubles to 20 e.g. 1 + 1 = 2, halves to 20 e.g. half of 10 = 5.

  • Commit to memory the addition and subtraction facts to 10 and then to 20.

  • Read and write single and two digit numbers and beyond. Record these numbers with the correct formation and pencil grip.

  • Encourage your child to count. Get them to count real things starting from different numbers i.e. 6…..7,8,9,10…………..39…..40,41,42,43.

  • Play cards, board games, snap and dominoes. Have fun with jigsaw puzzles.

  • Use the calendar – e.g. how many sleeps until your birthday? What day is the 2nd?

  • Time – o’clock, half past, days, week, today, tomorrow, yesterday, month, year, season.

  • Clap patterns, play instruments, sort objects by size or colour.

  • Recognise numerals around them e.g. letterboxes, road signs, page numbers.

  • Share food among friends and family. Make groups e.g. setting the table.

  • Talk about your experiences together.

  • A part of early math is language-based e.g. tall, shortest, biggest, oldest, lightest

  • Use correct measuring language when speaking about measuring e.g. length (cm, m, km), volume (litre, mls), mass (g, kg) - encourage your child to bake with you.
