Maths Tips for Parents:

● Use Real-Life Examples:  Relate the concept of positive and negative integers to everyday situations. For example, usea bank account to explain deposits (positive) and withdrawals (negative).

● Visual Aids:  Utilise visual aids like number lines, counters, or colored chips. These can help children visualise the concept and understand the direction of positive and negative numbers.

● Temperature Analogy:  Explain the concept of positive and negative numbers using the analogy of temperature. Positive numbers could represent above-zero temperatures, while negative numbers represent below-zero temperatures.

● Consistent Language:  Use consistent language when referring to positive and negative numbers. For example,always refer to moving to the right on a number line as adding, and moving to the left as subtracting.

● Real-world Scenarios:  Provide examples of real-world scenarios where positive and negative integers are used,such as elevations above and below sea level or gains and losses in a sports game.
