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.
