How can you help?

Time: Encourage your child to use a watch or clock to tell the time,provide timed activities and read timetables

Calendars: Plan family birthdays on a calendar & do a birthday countdown.

Measure: Take advantage of measure opportunities in the kitchen; weighing, timing and temperature

Money: Talk about best deals with your child, budgeting pocket money or wages.

Estimating: plan for activities in advance like calculating the number of rolls of paper or paint required to decorate a room, the length of time activities may take.

Logical thinking: Ask your child to explain their thinking and consider consequences of actions. e.g. using the information gathered from reading newspapers, using the internet

and watching TV to draw conclusions and make choices that involve numeracy.
