Numeracy

Providing opportunities for your child to experience real life mathematical experiences through exploration and play is a natural gateway to life long learning. Math learning goes beyond addition and subtraction and students benefit from opportunities to develop other skills such as reasoning, understanding, and problem solving when they are engaged in the “doing”.

Math lives all around us in the most unexpected ways whether it is connected to everyday routines or out in nature. As children spend time noticing and wondering about the world around them and are given opportunities to engage in conversations about their environments, they can make mathematical connections to these surroundings and develop their understandings.
