Maths Tips Your Child needs lots of experiences in making, counting, drawing and talking about numbers. Make connections for your child by explaining how numbers and counting are a part of everyday life. You may feel that the maths your child is doing at school is different from how you were taught, but you will still be able to support your child in many ways. 1 Playing shop with toys label them with prices written on sticky notes. 2 Collect grocery items and label them with prices cut out of shopping catalogues. 3 Talk about how we pay for items using notes and coins. 4 Make paper money or use play money to buy and sell goods from the shop. 5 Order the food items by height (tallest to the shortest) or by cost (least expensive to most expensive). 6 Introduce kitchen scales to the shop to weigh some foods such as a box of tea bags or a bag of rice and order items by weight. 7 Doing maths together at home before school can involve asking your child to tell you what time you need to leave to be at school on time. 8 Play “I Spy” or other games to identify shapes, numbers and patterns. 9 Dice are a great addition to any toy collection. Roll the dice and say, make or write the numbers identified. Roll the dice and add the numbers together to find the total. 10 Play number games online with your child. Try this website: http://www.abc.net.au/countusin 11 Identify and explain visual patterns on clothing, wrapping paper, crockery, cards and furniture. 12 Use coloured pegs, blocks, beads or cutlery to begin a pattern for your child to continue. For example, red, blue, white, red, blue, white. 13 Encourage your child to draw, create and describe their own patterns. Use them for borders or greeting cards or on material. 14 MEASURING things; measure the height of people in your family on a wall measuring chart. 15 Cut a piece of string for your child, any length will do. Use the string to measure the objects in your house to find out what is longer or shorter than your ‘string measuring tape’. Ask your child to identify anything that is the same length. 16 Explore other ways of measuring using a cup, jug, teaspoon, icy pole sticks, foot prints or hand lengths. 17 Build a tower of blocks that is taller than a favourite toy. Ask your child to count the total blocks to measure the height of the tower. 18 With your child find numbers around you, for example house numbers, calendars. 19 Look at and say the numbers on car number plates, signs, calendars, newspapers, shopping catalogues, speed signs, house numbers. 20 Use different numbers as the starting point for practising counting, for example start counting from 6 or 10. Ask your child to count forwards and backwards. Ask what number comes before or what number comes after. 21 Identify the numbers on a calculator. Use a calculator to check calculations. 22 By presenting mathematics as a story children can make links to their everyday life. Begin by reading books to your child that include numbers and counting. 23 Turn everyday events or objects into a maths story: Count the fruit in the fruit bowl. Cut fruit into six pieces. Count the pieces of toast you cooked at breakfast. 7
