Maths help for parents of children in Early Stage 1
(Kindergarten)

Kindergarten is a magical time! 
In Early Stage 1 your child will use facts they know to learn and explore facts they don’t know, and they’ll use play, games and manipulatives (blocks, playdough, etc) to investigate and talk about mathematical ideas and they’ll begin building flexible thinking. Your support at home will help them get the crucial practice that is required to make these concepts permanent, and it will also build your child’s confidence as a mathematician.
