Maths help for parents of children in Stage 1
-Years 1 & 2-
In Stage 1 your child will continue to develop their understanding of the concepts upon which all others are built. They will also continue to develop their ability to explain their thinking and why they choose the strategies they use. 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.
