Top tips for parents and families:<\/h3>\n
Be positive<\/strong> about maths. Don’t say things like “I can\u2019t do maths” or “I hated maths at school”; your child might start to think like that themselves.<\/div>\n
Point out the maths in everyday life.<\/strong> Include your child in activities involving maths such as using money, cooking and travelling.<\/div>\n
Praise your child for effort rather than talent <\/strong>– this shows them that by working hard they can always improve.<\/div>\n
If you struggle with maths yourself<\/strong> – try our free online tool the National Numeracy Challenge<\/a> to improve your maths level. Click here<\/a> for more ways to help your child at home with maths.<\/div>\n
