Maths at Sacred Heart
NumBots
Well done to Miles, Quinn, Jed, Allie, Eddie, Flo, Luca, Harlow, Molly, Jack, Oliver, Owen, Darcy, Duke, Archie, Roy, and Toby for accessing NumBots at home!
It’s wonderful to see so many of our Prep and Grade 1 students taking the initiative to extend their learning beyond the classroom—what a fantastic effort!
Did you know that NumBots is now available to all students across the school? That means even our youngest learners can log in from home and start building their number sense in a fun and interactive way.
If you haven’t had a chance yet, we encourage you to sit with your child and explore the platform together. It’s a great opportunity to spark curiosity, build confidence, and make maths enjoyable at home!
If your child needs a login sheet, please feel free to email mbulte@shsandringham.catholic.edu.au
Maths at Home Recommendation
Looking for simple ways to support your child’s maths learning at home? Try incorporating short, fun activities into your daily routine.
Here’s one to get started:
🎲 Dice Doubles🎲
Roll two dice and have your child quickly double each number rolled (e.g., roll a 3 — double it to 6). For an extra challenge, try adding the two dice together and doubling the total! This helps build fluency with number facts in a playful way.
Regular, low-pressure practice like this builds confidence and helps solidify key concepts. A few minutes a day makes a big difference!
“Mathematics is like building a muscle—the more you use it, the stronger it gets. Regular practice at home helps children grow confident, curious, and capable.”
Just like reading, maths skills develop through frequent exposure and use. When children practise at home—whether it’s counting objects, playing number games, or exploring platforms like NumBots—they reinforce what they’ve learned in class and begin to see maths as a natural part of everyday life. These small, consistent efforts build strong foundations, boost confidence, and encourage a positive attitude toward learning.
