This Christmas-themed worksheet is a great way to introduce children to block graphs and the important maths topics of data handling and interpretation.

Paper chains are a fun craft activity but they can also be useful for maths! Learning the 10 number bonds (numbers that add to 10) is a building block for adding and subtracting larger numbers. 

Estimating is an important mathematical skill. Have fun with this Christmas themed estimating activity using candy canes! See who has the best estimate.

Cheerios have so many uses. When you're not eating them, you can use them for learning! Counting and estimating are important skills practised in this activity.

The concept of symmetry can be confusing for young minds. It is great idea to start with familiar objects that are naturally symmetrical. Randomly decorate one butterfly wing then challenge your child to match the pattern on the other wing. 

The key question when teaching subtraction is “how many are left?”.

Use math word problems to bring maths to life and give meaning to concepts that can otherwise be confusing. Use real life objects (manipulatives) to explore the problems in an active, hands-on and engaging way. Stuffed animals make great manipulatives for learning maths.
