This visual maths guide has been updated and includes the latest changes to the UK National Curriculum and with additional content on roman numerals, time, fractions, and times tables. Praising your child for their effort, not their ability, will increase their confidence and make them hungry to learn more. It is the perfect guide for every frustrated parent and desperate child who wants to understand English and put what they've learnt into practise. Understanding them helps children to structure their day, and means that they can follow instructions in the right sequence. It not only helps you understand a problem but teaches you how numbers work so that you really do understand how they work and apply to specific problems, helping you solve them whilst understanding how you did it.

It even offers super handy parents' notes on the practice tests to make sure that you can answer any tricky questions with confidence and give essential times tables guidance. You can begin by pointing out lots of different numbers to your child, such as the numbers on front doors, on the front of buses, on T-shirts, on television. One more” and “one less” leads neatly on to simple addition and subtraction, which is an important first step on the way to doing more complex sums. Activities such as creating a virtual firework display, simulated snowflakes, fractal art and mind-bending optical illusions not only teach essential coding skills, but enable kids to have fun as they learn. To understand quantities, children need to understand what an amount really means (this is useful when they come to do simple addition and subtraction) so that they can recognise that seven items in a group also means seven items in terms of quantity.Description:- Help Your Kids with Maths shows parents how to work with their kids to solve maths problems step-by-step. The reference section also includes a glossary of key scientific terms and symbols, helping anyone learn a bit more about science, whether for their own knowledge or to tackle Key Stages 3 and 4.

Shape hunt Look around the house/room for shapes that are like a circle, square, rectangle or triangle. As your child grasps the basic shapes, introduce them to more complex ones such as 3D shapes and shape names. The great thing with mathematical language – which also illustrates how important it is – is that you can play games using it wherever you go! Speak to the teacher - they will have a good grasp of how your child is doing compared to what is reasonably expected for their age.
