Maths help for parents of children in Stage 3
-Years 5 & 6-
In Stage 3 your child will build upon the knowledge they now have. They will regularly demonstrate their ability to talk about their thinking, show their understanding of multiple concepts in multiple ways, including their ability to think flexibly about numbers and to manipulate them for efficiency. They begin to learn about more efficient methods for recording their 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.
