Tips for helping your child to enjoy maths: measuring their height and working out how much they've grown on car journeys - playing number-plate games, adding and subtracting with road signs, thinking about speed by dividing distance by time at the shops - weighing fruit and vegetables, budgeting with pocket money, working out the relative value of products by comparing prices and weight

in the kitchen - with weighing and measuring, and temperature and timings making models and origami shapes playing games together– jigsaws, monopoly, top trumps, match attacks cards

More general tips.... The more time your children spend practicing their basic maths skills, the sooner they will develop confidence in their abilities. 4x4=16÷4= 5x4=20÷4= 4x5=
