Numeracy Report 

Keeping Maths Real!

Make everyday activities an opportunity for learning about Maths. It is easier for children to understand maths when they relate it to something real and see it as part of “everyday life”. This set of three animations is designed to support families to bring mathematics and numeracy into conversations in the home, the supermarket and the outdoors.

Below are 3 videos found from the FUSE department website that are available for everyone to access. These three animations support families to engage in conversations about mathematics and numeracy in everyday activities.

Explore maths everyday with your children as you walk, talk and play. See the beauty of maths everywhere! When walking, talking, looking and listening, families can explore and use mathematics every day. Introduce children to maths in the outdoors by counting steps, finding numbers and shapes and mapping your path. The possibilities are endless!

Every day maths – Supermarket Master

See the beauty of maths everywhere as you explore the supermarket! When talking, looking, playing and listening, families can explore and use mathematics every day. Shopping is a wonderful activity to help children explore mathematical ideas. They can help to find items on the shopping list, look for interesting shapes or numbers, or talk about the size or weight of things. The possibilities are endless!
