Maths Ideas

Here are some great resources to support with maths at home.

Alongside the resources below, some ideas for developing mathematical thinking could be:

  • Maths in the kitchen – weighing, measuring, estimating, ratios (recipes)

  • Budgeting – for the week, for an imaginary party, for a room makeover (using IKEA catalogue)

  • Designing rooms, parks, theme parks – using scaled drawings

  • Home Olympics - timed distances and exercises, calculating averages, statistics
