K to 10: Everyday Maths Hub

Via NESA News:

The evidence shows that when parents and carers engage with schools on mathematics and numeracy, students' engagement with and attitude toward maths is enhanced.

The Everyday Maths Hub has been designed to support families to:

  • develop and support positive attitudes towards mathematics and numeracy at home
  • empower their children to think critically and creatively
  • find and solve problems
  • notice and wonder about the mathematics in the world around them.

Designed by the Department of Education mathematics teachers, the Hub aims to help parents and carers trigger positive engagement and conversations with their children about mathematics through everyday activities:

  • easy explainers to remind parents and carers of key mathematics topics
  • fun and useful resources to help engage with their child in using mathematics outside of school, for example, at home and hobbies
  • guidance on careers where mathematics is important and valuable (next release)
  • personalisation filter by year group, topics and scenarios.
