Solving Problems

How you can help at home

Ask your child to show you what they
have been doing in maths lessons and
what methods they are learning.

Practise number bonds – not just to 10,
but pairs of numbers to make 9, 8, 7, etc.

Use real life opportunities to practise
maths skills, e.g. at the shops.
