Supporting your child in Mathematics

In the NZ Maths Families section there are lots of resources for helping your child learn about numbers – this will help them with the maths they do at school.

The NZ Maths website is successfully used by teachers across the country to teach Maths. It also contains a section for families. This has some fantastic ideas and resources for fun and engaging activities parents/caregivers can do at home with their children. Many of the activities can be completed using equipment you find around the home.

The NZ Maths Families website is designed especially for families and contains a helpful introduction video on how you can support your child's learning in maths.

On the NZ Maths Families page, you can find information on:

• Supporting Maths taught at school
• Maths in the home
• Number knowledge activities
• Ideas for collecting free or low cost items to aid your child's learning
• Helpful resources
• Frequently asked questions - some good topics covered here (a good read)

As always, your child and teacher will discuss your child's learning in Mathematics with you - informally, by appointment and at Learning Expos and Learning Conferences each term. Additionally, we also include information on our mid and end year reports about how you can assist your child at home in this curriculum area. Keep an eye out for our Maths Parent Evening in Term 3 also!

For those parents/caregivers wanting to find out more, the NZ Maths Families website is well worth an explore!
