Maths and literacy go hand in hand. Give your children sums that are in writing as opposed to numbers. Word problems are excellent for getting them thinking not only about maths but also builds their skills in reading, following instructions, understanding sequencing.
Here are some examples of word problems
1. John goes into a sweetshop and buys two lollies for 30p, 3 chocolate bars for a total of £1.50. How much change does he get from a £5.00 note?
2. Sally is twice as tall as John. John is 50cms. How tall is Sally?
