NZmaths has a section for Families for activities you can do at home. Thanks also to Viv Thompson, Maths adviser, for sharing her presentation for parents - if you missed our Information meeting on how we teach Mathematics, this is a good place to start. Other ways to help: - Be positive and enthusiastic about mathematics yourself. - Ask questions about what your child is doing in Maths. - Use everyday situations to ask mathematical questions – supermarket, time, cooking, banking, sharing things etc - Get your child to show you how to solve Maths problems. - Help them learn their basic facts. - Play mathematical games together. - Play interactive online games –Find links on the St Joseph’s Ultranet site - Encourage and praise them for their efforts. - Check the free Ministry of Education website - NZ Maths - Finally make Maths learning FUN! |
