How can I help my child at
home?
Encourage your child and make the activity fun.
If you appear to be enjoying the activity, it’s
more likely that they will too!

Try to incorporate Maths into your daily

life:
-paying with coins/notes at the shop
-giving your child a budget to manage pocket
money/gifts

Work on developing quick recall of number

bonds to 10 and 100 – this is fundamental to
all mental and written methods.
