Mathematics is part of everyday life and it is very important that our students see the real life applications of it. Talking about numbers to your child is an easy thing to do. It can be something as simple as helping your child read a price tag when you are at your local shops or teaching them how to skip count when counting your fruits and vegetables! Using concrete materials is also important to help students gain their factual fluency in maths. 

Classroom Spotlight: Kindergarten

Kindergarten have been working hard to understand their teen numbers such as 13, 14 and 15. They have been making towers of ten to help them understand that the number 13 is really 10 and 3 more. Not just 1 and 3! They are also looking at combining and separating amounts using concrete materials.
