This year we hosted a parents workshop for the parents of the P5 numeracy support group. We really appreciated those who came to find out ways they could help their children at home with their maths. Each parent received a goodie bag with ideas for games to play that would help improve their children's number facts. We plan to run another workshop next year.
Another important aspect of our numeracy support routine is a weekly visit to the computer room to make use of an assessment program called 'maths for schools'. The children enjoy using this and it gives the teacher an opportunity to see where each pupils strengths lie and what areas need some further support. The children grow in confidence as they can track their progress through the different levels in all aspects of maths.
The P7 group have been working together with the whole class on a maths investigation. They made an e-book to record their results. You can check this out on the P7 class section.
