We have had a great week for Maths Week Scotland and I hope you enjoyed seeing all the different ways we do maths in school.  If you haven’t done so yet head over to the class blogs to see all the great work taking place.

Over the next few months I will be continuing to work with National Numeracy in involving parents in supporting children with their maths and building positive mindsets towards maths.  I look forward to sharing this experience with you.

A reminder that we would like as many parents as possible to complete the National Numeracy survey.  Here is the link again if you haven’t completed it yet.

Quote/top tip

Always promote a “can-do” attitude towards maths.

e,g, “Your number work is really improving!”

“I’m really impressed with what you can do.”

Try not to share with your child the idea that you were bad at maths or that maths was boring.  Research shows that as soon as this idea is shared, achievement goes down.

Have a great weekend.
