Cotmanhay Junior School
Safe, Happy Learning
National Numeracy Schools and Families Programme
Our school is delighted to have been selected to work with the independent charity National Numeracy on an exciting project which encourages children and families to do maths together.
As part of the project, we will be introducing National Numeracy’s Family Maths scrapbooks and activities. These are activities that help children and families to explore everyday maths at home together. They link the maths that children are learning at school with life outside the classroom.
You don’t need any special knowledge or equipment to work on the activities. Just talking about everyday maths can help develop children’s maths confidence. You might like to take photos, draw pictures, write calculations or create diagrams in the scrapbooks – it’s up to you!
National Numeracy have provided a scrapbook for every child. We encourage all families to support their children’s learning by getting involved with the activities.
However you feel about maths, you can make a big difference to your child’s numeracy learning.
We hope that you will join us in making the most of this exciting project!
