Exploring Everyday Maths

This course has been designed to support you to understand how to help and develop your and your child’s maths skills in fun and interactive ways. The course is suitable for all learners. Some learners may not have any previous knowledge of the subject taught, but this is not always the case, and the tutor will adapt the learning activities to suit all abilities and needs during the course.

This short course will support you to understand: Different ways to support your child’s maths development using a mix of online resources and practical activities. To identify maths in everyday life. How to be more confident in using maths language to support your child. Creating activities and games to support maths learning in a fun way.

You are assessed in class by the tutor and by your own self- assessment of topics. You will be given an initial assessment to determine your starting point so you and your tutor can track your progress through the course. Your tutor will give you feedback and suggest ways in which you can develop your skills and help your child’s learning at home. So that you can be successful in completing the course we do require that you arrive promptly for each lesson, and that you try to attend 100% of the course.
