Top Tips - Helping your child with maths (it's more fun than you think!)
Many people think they “can’t do maths”, but with exciting new teaching approaches, we’re proving day by day that every child really can love and succeed in maths! What’s more, we want to make it as easy as possible for you to support your child’s learning, so here are some helpful tips from our (White Roses) fantastic team.
Try not to hurry through the curriculum - Remember that understanding each small step is the path to your child's success: rushing ahead doesn't work!
Is your child struggling with particular topics? Try looking instead at work on the same topics from earlier in the year or previous years. Doing this will help plug any learning gaps and make sure your child understands the topic more clearly.
Use our free parent workbooks https://whiterosemaths.com/parent-resources - These workbooks will help you to spot where your child where your child might be struggling. There is a workbook for every block at primary level, and the secondary workbooks will be on their way very soon!
Is your child finding maths easy?
Online teaching, learning and support
