Parents guide to numeracy key stage 1 - Sue Atkinson

The Parents' Guide to Numeracy Key Stage 1 explains in clear and simple terms how maths is taught in schools today. (For example, there is a greater emphasis on mental maths.) It outlines what children are likely to be learning between the ages of 5 and 7 and provides lots of practical ideas as to how parents can help children at home and elsewhere. It uses everyday opportunities such as shopping and cooking to help develop maths skills and confidence, and provides ideas for enjoyable games and activities. Various sections deal with tests, homework and the use of calculators.
