Literacy and Numeracy
Mathematics - How often do you ask your child about their learning?
Talking to your child about their mathematics has many great benefits. Students explaining their learning can help consolidate their learning. This can also have a positive impact on their attitude towards mathematics.
Your challenge this fortnight is to regularly ask your child about what they are currently learning. I would love to hear some of their responses via email!
