You probably know that The 2007 New Zealand Curriculum guides your child's teacher in planning the mathematics that your child learns in the classroom. So when you've visited your child's classroom, you will have seen that there is much more to maths than just remembering times tables and doing sums. While these are still very important, your child also needs to be able to see patterns, to locate themselves and find their way, to know about the shapes that make up the spaces around them, to measure things, to tell the time, and to understand graphs, facts, and figures that are so much a part of our world now. Above all, they need to be able to use the maths they know in everyday situations. That's why your support is important and appreciated.

These activities aim to help develop your child's number facts knowledge.
