➗ Maths Made Easy at Home – Infants
Little and often is best – 5 minutes of playful maths is enough.
Quick ideas:
- Count everything: steps, toys, cars, pieces of fruit.
- Number bonds game (Y1–Y2): “I say 7, you say what goes with it to make 10.”
- Spot the maths around you: shapes in windows, numbers on buses, coins in a purse.
- Compare: “Which cup is bigger? Which tower is taller?”
- Counting in steps (Y1–Y2): Count in 2s, 5s, or 10s while walking upstairs.
- Explain it: “Can you show me how you worked that out?”
✅ Tip: Make it part of play and everyday life – no worksheets needed.
➗ Maths Made Easy at Home – Juniors
Short, regular practice builds confidence.
Quick ideas:
- Times tables challenge: “What’s 6 × 7?” / “What’s 12 ÷ 4?”
- Mental maths on the go: “What’s 25 × 4?” while shopping.
- Real-life maths: Work out change, read timetables, measure in recipes.
- Explain it: “How did you get that answer?” (helps them think through their steps).
✅ Tip: Five minutes daily practice makes a bigger impact than a long sheet once a week.
