The Count On Races game, played by an adult and a child, helps children learn to count on mentally. A coin or a dice with 1 or 2 on each face is used. Children say the next number when counting on. For example, when starting from 7, for a jump of 2 we say '8,9'.

The Cube Model (4-6) and Cube Model Advanced (4-6) tasks, children recreate the models. This task develops visual-spatial skills and helps children to recognise two parts within the whole.

The Reasoning in Addition Puzzles get children thinking deeply about the value of different shapes. This Mathsbot link allows you to generate new reasoning in addition puzzles.

Visual Representations

This article explains the importance of children's finger discrimination skills and this article gives different ways in which fingers can be used. Here are some Finger Discrimination tasks by Youcubed.

These Base-5 and Base-10 Number Tracks are coloured to help children to see quantities within a number track.

This Online Base-5 Abacus by Math Rack represents quantities 10-100 using a base-5 colouring.

The Coloured 100-Squares help to identify patterns in the 100-square and can support children as they count in 2s and 5s.

The Teens & Tens Cards help children to discern between teen and tens numbers. The Place Value Sorting Task show different representations of teen numbers and challenge children to spot misconceptions.

Progression in Pattern

The Progression in Pattern guidance shows how children's understanding of repeating patterns can be built. The Grids for Repeating Patterns can be used as children look to create circular patterns with a fixed number of spaces.

A Number & Maths 'Dictionary' from Education Scotland

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
This glossary has been developed for parents and carers of children and young people in the broad general education in Scottish schools. This includes nursery through to 4th year in secondary schools. It provides clear definitions of some of the commonly used terms in numeracy and mathematics. The glossary may also be useful to any others who have an interest in the learning and teaching of numeracy and mathematics, including teachers and learners.

The glossary has been divided into the 15 'organisers' within the numeracy and mathematics curriculum. To find out more about each organiser, and how it relates to real life contexts, read the document below:
PDF file: The importance of numeracy and mathematics (175 KB) PDF file: The importance of numeracy and mathematics (Gaelic version) (196 KB)
The different organisers are:
PDF file: Estimation and rounding (174 KB) PDF file: Estimation and rounding (Gaelic version) (278 KB)
It has been organised in this way to make it easier to find the definition of the term you are looking for. For example, if looking for information on angles, you would select the organiser 'Angle, symmetry and transformation' by clicking on the link above. The document provides a list of all related terms, with a definition and in most cases, a supporting image. The terms are listed in alphabetical order to ensure easy access. Some terms appear in more than one organiser.

Words highlighted in blue are linked to further information available on other relevant websites.

Education Scotland understands that this glossary is not exhaustive and terms may be added.

"Sheppard offers everything from early math to pre-algebra. The lessons include interactive activities to practice concepts. Students can shoot fruit, pop balloons, and even play math man (the math version of pac man!). Fractions, place value, money, and basic operations are some of the areas that are covered. Check it out at https://www.sheppardsoftware.com/math.htm. "
--Shannon Jakeman , sjakeman.blogspot.com

"Online math games, like the ones that you'll find for free at Sheppard Software, provide a valuable opportunity for children to learn a great deal while they're having fun. The games at Sheppard Software are well written, interactive and very fun to play.

It can be very difficult for parents to find productive and worthwhile activities for children on the Internet; however fun online math games do offer a wonderful alternative.

This free section of Sheppard Software was written for children. Mostly all of the material you'll find at the site is completely free for kids to use. These fun online math games cover all of the math fundamentals, including early math, basic and mixed operations, fractions, pre-algebra, dollars & cents and place value. While teachers often use worksheets to solidify the math concepts learned in the classroom, these sort of games actually have the same educational impact on the child, and the format of the examples as an exciting game keeps the child engaged, interested and coming back for more.

From the main page parents or children will find a simple and easy to navigate menu featuring the different levels of math games and the various math concepts that are available. Children from pre-k up to 8th grade will find fun online math games that teach important math skills that are appropriate for their age level.

Sheppard Software offers a couple of cute games for the youngest math students. In this game, called Bugabaloo Addition, children are shown a number of "bug shoes" on the left and the right. The game asks the child to add the two groups of shoes together, and then pick the bug with the correct number printed on it. This game teaches addition through a graphical display that lets the child see and count the shoes. With the numbers right underneath, children easily make the association between the visual cues and the act of addition.

For slightly older kids, there are a number of very popular arcade-style "popup" math games. In these games, the child is presented with a math problem and must find the creature that's holding the correct answer and smack it on the head with the hammer. The comical expression the creature makes and the sound effects make this game so fun that children will forget that they're learning math! "

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Teaching children about money equips them with the knowledge and skills they need to manage their money effectively now and in the future.

Children who do better with money tend to have parents/carers who talk to them about money and give them responsibility for spending and saving from an early age.

Take some time to think of your own money habits:

Teaching children about money will help make their future more secure. So the sooner you start developing their financial skills, the sooner they can start to hone those skills.
