 K to 10: Everyday Maths Hub

 

The evidence shows that when parents and carers engage with schools on mathematics and numeracy, students' engagement with and attitude toward maths is enhanced.

 

The Everyday Maths Hub has been designed to support families to:

  • develop and support positive attitudes towards mathematics and numeracy at home
  • empower their children to think critically and creatively
  • find and solve problems
  • notice and wonder about the mathematics in the world around them.
