Family Maths scrapbooks and activities
Our Family Maths activities and scrapbooks can be used to encourage maths conversations between children and their families.
The activities are short, fun weekly challenges for families and primary-aged children to do together to solve everyday maths problems, each of which is linked to things at home, events at school or the cultural calendar. Scrapbooks are also available to order, to provide to pupils in your school to record their work. Please contact us for a quote if you are interested in ordering scrapbooks.
The activity packs have been used successfully by schools across the country and are now available for schools, families and education settings to download for free.
