Children's first encounters with maths come from their parents and carers - from sorting toys to measuring ingredients; going shopping to telling the time. Talking about and taking part together in activities that involve maths can make a big difference to children’s confidence - and future achievement. But when it comes to a subject such as maths, lots of us feel worried about how best to help, and aren’t sure where to look for support.
National Numeracy is running a Parental Engagement project that aims to support parents and carers in engaging with their children’s maths education and in improving their own maths skills. We’re talking to parents all over the country to find out what kind of support they really want when it comes to maths - and we'd really like Mumsnetters' input.
If you'd like to help shape the next stage of our project, please take our Parents’ Survey - it'll only take five minutes.
Thanks very much for your help - if you'd like more info now, do go to our Help for Parents and Carers page to downloads parents’ guide to everyday maths.
