Dear Parents, 

Please click here for this term’s maths newsletter. I hope you enjoy looking at all the ‘maths at home’ photographs as there are truly amazing examples. Thank you!

Below is a list of ideas of how you can continue to explore maths at home in real life contexts: 

– Make decorations – consider patterns in colours, shapes or symmetry.

– Study calendars in the countdown to Christmas or other exciting events – talk about times, days, weeks, months. 

– Festive baking – weighing, measuring, dividing and fractions to make sure everyone gets an equal share.

– Write Christmas cards – how many have been written or are left to write. Compare prices of stamps or even the distance a letter is going to travel. 

– Prices of gifts – finding the total and change.

– Compare the 3D shapes and sizes of wrapped presents. 

The list could be endless; maths is everywhere! 

Mrs Joshua
