• Make the most of shopping trips and other outings – talk about spending money and calculating change. Does your child understand the offers they see on signs or adverts in shops?
• Maths is a broad subject, and encompasses topics like measure and shape! Can your child recognise shapes in their everyday surroundings? Can they tell the time, or use weighing scales?
• Think about how you can involve your child in everyday problem solving. You may be planning a party, or cooking dinner. Many tasks involve sharing, or using fractions.

The White Rose 1-minute maths app

The app is aimed at pupils up to the age of 6. Children can choose any topic they want to try. They then have 1 minute individual tasks to answer a unique series of questions. When the 1 minute is up, they’ll see a feedback screen telling them how they’ve done.
