Maths help for parents of children in Stage 2
-Year 3 & 4-
In Stage 2 your child will learn more about, and start using, efficient mental and written strategies. They will continue to develop their ability to talk about their thinking and about what strategies they choose to use to solve a variety of mathematical problems. They will further develop their ability to see and manipulate numbers in a way that increases efficiency. 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.
