Maths Update Autumn 1
The children are thoroughly enjoying tackling
challenging mathematical problems and being able to talk to adults and their
peers about the different ways they can solve them. The children are given lots
of opportunity to apply skills from number, measure, geometry and statistics.
Children are exposed to real world problems and can begin to think about how
these skills are transferred to their everyday lives.
When completing mathematical tasks with your
children at home we would encourage you to ask them how or why they know or
think that. Try to encourage maths in the basic tasks around the home: spotting
patterns, weighing ingredients in the kitchen, finding the odd one out, adding,
subtracting, dividing, multiplying numbers that are seen when out walking and
so on.
For further ideas, why not pick up a
Scholastic Maths Practice book during parents evening, for a whole host of year
group appropriate maths activities .
