Help Out with Maths in the Evening. St.Joseph’s PS Caledon/Churchill PS/St.Mary’s PS Aughnacloy.

How has Mathematics changed in the classroom? Today pupils in school are given more opportunities to: use practical materials play mathematical games talk about their work work out answers in their heads find different ways of solving problems and puzzles… use computers, eg to draw graphs, useful websites etc

At Home with Mathematics. We can use it every day without realising. Eg. We use Mathematics when: We go shopping. Handling money/Managing budgets. In the kitchen. In the garden or park. Playing “Fun” Mathematical games.

How can you help? don’t tell your child that you find Mathematics very difficult encourage your child to “have a go” encourage your child to talk about how he/she works things out don’t give the answer right away, discuss problem with child talk to the teacher about how else you can help at home praise and encourage your child
