COUNT ON US!
Mathematics for students and families at Box Hill North Primary School
What is this page about?
This page is all about mathematics! Our aim is to encourage families and students to feel confident and excited about talking and doing mathematics at home. Each week there will be a video explaining a fun maths game you can play as a family, as well as tips and hints on how to support your child to develop strong numeracy skills in real life contexts. At Box Hill North Primary School students can count on their families and school, working together as a team to approach maths with confidence!
This term our theme is Card Games! Each week we will have a different card game for you and your family to try. Don’t have a pack of cards? Grab a free pack from the office to take home!
