Daily Decisions
We all use Mathematics daily in what we do. Involve your child in using numbers to solve problems and make those everyday decisions with you. For example:

• “Do we have enough plates and utensils for all the guests coming for dinner tonight?”
• “We are doubling this recipe. How much of all the ingredients will we need?”
• “We are fertilizing the lawn. The fertilizer bag covers three square meters. How many will we need?”
• “This store is selling the game you want for 20% off of $27.00. That store is selling the same game for $19.99. Where should we shop?”

Time for Creativity
It is just as important to encourage your child to take some time to be creative. Draw, play with Lego, paint, dance, or sing. For further ideas, below is a list of activities for early learners and children in primary school, ideas from education.gov.nsw.au.
