Supporting your child at home Homework Number facts Times tables Suggested times tables websites and activities are in your pack and on the school website.

Supporting your child at home Be positive: what you say about maths really counts. Talk and listen to your child about their work in maths. It will help your child if they have to explain to you. If your child cannot do their homework, tell the teacher. Try to make it fun: cards, bingo, physical games, board games, online games. Try to make it real: cooking, shopping, telling the time. Little and often. Suggestions for activities to help your child at home are on the school websiteschool website
