This year, our focus is on supporting children’s access to concrete materials in Maths, something which can be done both at school and at home 🧮✨
Using concrete materials is a key part of the new Primary Mathematics Curriculum – helping children to see, touch, and explore maths in tangable and meaningful ways 📘👀
Concrete materials don’t have to be fancy! Everyday items work brilliantly:
➡️ Bottle tops 🟢
➡️ Cubes 🟥
➡️ Counters ⚪
➡️ Household items (pasta, buttons, coins, etc.) 🍝🔘💶
At home, you can make maths come alive by chatting and working with your child as they use these materials – counting, grouping, and solving problems together 💬👩👧👦
