Support at home

How can I help my child with their maths learning at home?

A collection of ideas by parents for parents focused on helping children to apply their maths skills in the real world.

It is important that children recognise the many ways in which maths is relevant to the world around us. Otherwise they will struggle to see the purpose of what they are learning in lessons.

This is a collection of activities to support you with showing your children how maths is used in real life. We have also included some notes about how you can talk about the different operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division) whilst doing them.

Good luck with these activities – we would love to hear any feedback you may have once you have tried them.
