Dear Parents and Guardians,

Numeracy is an essential skill that goes beyond the classroom, playing a vital role in our everyday lives. Here are some practical ways to enhance your child's numeracy skills at home:

1. Incorporate Numeracy in Daily Activities:
   • Cooking: Measure ingredients together.
   • Shopping: Count items and calculate costs.
   • Time Management: Use clocks and timers for daily routines.
2. Fun Activities to Build Numeracy:
   • String Measurements: Use string to measure objects around the house.
   • Card Games: Order playing cards by numbers.
   • Physical Activities: Count each bounce or kick in ball games.
3. Encourage Exploration:
   • Ask questions like, "How can we measure this?" or "What shapes do you see?"
4. Homework Help:
   • Support homework by understanding the context and making it a positive experience.

Let's work together to make numeracy a fun and integral part of your child's life!
