"My son is struggling with maths, I wish I knew how to help"

This was the passionate plea from one of my parents. I was the lead teacher for mathematics, with 35 years of experience in UK primary and special schools. I wanted to support this parent and child—and your family too.

Helped by many more families, Number Chase has developed into an inclusive resource to really help all families share the joy of maths at home.

Or you could try an old way to help a child with maths at home...

BUT take a look at that maths workbook:

📖 There are pictures, there are sums—but is it a test?
🤔 How will you and your child feel if they know all the answers?
😟 How will you both feel if they don't know any of the answers?
❓ Is it really learning?

📱 Take a look at that popular maths app and ask similar questions. Most are essentially tests—just with pictures and animations.

Here's how to encourage discovery, play number games together and marvel as confidence in maths grows!

Number Chase has all you need: easy to use maths games, activities, unique parent guidance, and all the resources for you to help with maths at home.

It's all built on these principles:

7 powerful ways to help with maths at home

1 ☺ Enjoy playing a game together. There will be lots of maths practise and no crosses.
2 ☺'s Talk with them about how they got an answer and really value that there are lots of different ways to get to an answer.
3 ☺'s Tell them that mistakes are absolutely OK. They shape new ideas and lead to the most powerful learning.
4 ☺'s If you had a bad experience of maths at school, try your very best not to pass this on- it can be different for them.
5 ☺'s Tell them that brain science has now proved that everyone can learn maths to the highest level.
6 ☺'s Try to involve your child in the maths you use in your day, cooking, shopping, planning...
7 ☺'s Share their natural curiosity for the beauty of the shapes and patterns all around us.

These will help make maths fun to learn for you and your child and the love of maths to grOW.

Teachers often hear a child say “I’m rubbish at maths” or witness their thought process freeze because of maths anxiety. All the experts agree that early maths learning happens easier when a child has objects to handle but in the classroom and online there are limited opportunities to make maths real.

But there are ways to do maths at home very differently so that confidence in maths grows and GROWS.

Have fun sharing a maths game

Trying to teach your child directly what to do with a maths sum, probably won’t go very well! Instead the Number Chase games and activities have been carefully designed so you have some very special fun moments of maths at home together and your child discovers and practises the maths skills.

And you can save the time and resources that you could have spent with regular trips to Kumon, Explore Learning, a private maths tutor... and be guided by Number Chase to share family activities that are primarily FUN but where the maths just happens. Precisely because it's not formal teaching it will make a bigger difference to your child and be much more rewarding for you both.

Use the expert parent information to help you grow in confidence – to know that you really can offer your kids amazing support with maths even if you thought you were no good at it.
