Maths Teacher, Diane Murphy gives advice on how to incorporate learning in a relaxed and enjoyable way into normal household activities. Perhaps some of you are not comfortable with teaching maths to your child - methods may have changed since you were at school or perhaps you were never comfortable with maths and as a result, avoid teaching the subject at home. We will provide 5 ways that parents can easily teach maths in a meaningful way - away from the textbook and with a hands-on approach. Children will apply their basic maths knowledge to everyday household tasks. They may not know they are doing so but they will be thinking mathematically, making links with the maths curriculum and see the relevance of maths in their everyday world.
Maths is an important skill for all members of society to embrace. Maths is all around; it underpins almost everything we do! Whether you are completing the household shop, doing the laundry, or preparing dinner and setting the table - mathematical thinking is involved. By including children in these everyday jobs, you provide them with material and opportunities that will encourage learning in maths. If you talk to your children about simple maths concepts such as size, weight, distance, time and counting, they can hear maths language and see how it is used.

We want to give parents and carers the peace of mind that you can provide meaningful teaching and learning in maths.

Doing the laundry is one of those tasks that nobody really loves doing, am I right? You may already be outsourcing some of the tasks to your children by getting them to match socks and collect and count clothes pegs. Here are some other ways you can teach the curriculum while doing the laundry.

Sorting and grouping is the task of identifying a common feature to form a group. This basic maths skill is important in learning to organise knowledge and ideas. Children need to learn to discriminate differences, to reason and analyse, and to select items to form groups. This can be practiced very easily by asking the following questions:

Can you make a pile of all the towels?

Can you make a pile for colours, a different pile for dark colours and another pile for the whites?

Matching is the task of identifying which items are the same and which are different. Matching is important to help children develop a range of thinking and problem-solving skills, such as being able to identify patterns, relationships, similarities, and differences and discriminate on such basis. You can teach this by asking your child to:

Match pairs of socks. (identical objects)

Match pyjama tops and bottoms. (related objects)

Comparing is an important skill that young children learn very quickly, especially when it comes to treats - "but she got more than me!!". It is the task of looking more specifically at colour, size, shapes, patterns and number of items in order to compare items or groups of items. Students should be enabled to compare objects according to length, width, height, weight, quantity, thickness or size and compare sets without counting. (more than and less than.) Try asking the following:

Do we have more black socks or more white socks?

Who do you think has the most t-shirts in the washing basket - you or me? Let us check and see!

Is this white towel the same as that white towel? (Bigger, smaller, longer, shorter)

Build another pile of socks with the same number of socks as this one

Counting is one of those maths skills that can be incorporated into almost everything we do. Reinforcing the correct number sequence is important because it allows numbers to be used to describe and compare sets. You can practice this by asking the following:

How many towels are on the line?

How many pairs of socks have we matched? (push them aside while counting)

How many clothes pegs do we have?

How many clothes pegs do you think we will need to hang three towels?

The kitchen can provide lots of opportunities for rich mathematical experiences - as a parent you may be already sharing these with your children and not even knowing you are teaching the maths curriculum. Young children can help by setting the table, organising the shelves, cooking, and baking and apply the basic maths skills of sorting, grouping, matching, and counting. Develop their maths skills by asking the following when you are setting the table
SORTING:

Ask your child to sort the place mats, depending on colour or size

Give all the cutlery to the child and ask them to separate them into different groups - forks, spoons, knives etc and get them to talk about their arrangements

Get them to gather all the plastic plates together

MATCHING:

Match this fork with another fork exactly like it

Match this napkin to one exactly like it

Each person at the table should have a knife and a fork - will you place one fork and one knife at each setting

Match each cup to a saucer

Pop an unlit nightlight into each candle holder

Every chair should have one cushion on it, can you find a chair with more than one cushion?

Can you find a chair with less than one cushion?

Everyone has ice in their glass - can you spot someone who has more ice than you?

COMPARING:

What is different between Dad's slice of bread and yours?

Investigate the different sizes of serving bowls on the table

Demonstrate the portion sizes: big portion for parents, medium portion for children, small portion for baby

COUNTING:

How many people will be sitting at the table tonight?

How many cups are on the table? When you are placing cups on the table count them as you do so.

How many more do we need?

Ask the child to give two slices of bread to everyone

Count out enough spoons for everyone for dessert

Estimate how many cookies are in the jar (less than 20), count them and check.

Although children cannot accompany adults when shopping now, there are still lots of opportunities to share meaningful maths experiences with your child when completing this household chore. There are so many bargains to be had online now; involve your teenagers with the online shopping and discuss any saving opportunities. Young primary school children can continue to practice the maths concepts of sorting, matching, and counting. With the older students, Before leaving for the shop: it does not matter if you are unfamiliar with the methods they are using or if a child does not reach an end point, getting stuck is to be expected. Try figure out the problem together, facilitate a discussion about what they have done so far and where they aim to end up. Communicating mathematically in this way offers a very worthwhile learning experience. Talk to your child about having a growth mindset, praise hard work and resilience instead, instead of speed and intelligence. When at the shop - take photos of any special offers, try buy items that have a certain percentage free and hold on to the receipt after paying for the items. When home:

Sort the cupboards by matching similar objects and identifying anything low in stock or excess stock.

Group all the sauces together and arrange them in order of size, colour, shape

Compare items according to length, width, height, weight, quantity, thickness, or size

Classify the shopping list in terms of Dairy, Meat, Sweets and goodies, fruit, veg - discuss where each item should go, (add items to clearly defined set)

Ask children to count how many items are on the veg list - compare that to the goodies list - discuss

For older students encourage them to work with budgets. Give them a list of items that the house needs and a budget to work with - encourage research through catalogues and through internet searches.

Ask younger children to count how many shopping bags you have

Ask them to help sort the shopping into piles for fridge, cupboard, bathroom.

Estimate how much the shop came to

Give older students the receipt with the totals removed - ask them to estimate the total cost by rounding to the nearest euro or pound. Show actual total and calculate percentage difference x 100

With the items that came with a certain percentage free - ask the child to calculate how much of the product is free?

Show picture of deals on offer in the shop. What does 3 for the price of 2 mean? what is 50% extra free? Is it better to buy a big jar or two small jars?

Show a receipt from the petrol station - if petrol is €1.42 per litre and you spent €30 how many litres did get? If a full tank takes 65 litres how much would that cost? If you travel 17 km to shops at an average of 60km per hour - how long will it take you to travel to shops?

Of course, not all maths has to be applied to jobs around the house - recreational maths is maths that is carried out for entertainment and often involves mathematical puzzles and games.

Provide toys that encourage your child to explore maths concepts: card games, puzzles, dominoes, board games with dice, blocks, tangrams. Many of the maths week daily activities involve coins, cards and dice.

Play games of make-believe that involve maths ideas. For example, playing shop involves counting items and money. Playing doctor's and nurses encourages taking temperature and measuring height and weight. Playing post office provides opportunities to organise envelopes, boxes, and tubs by size.

Incorporate arts and crafts into the maths lesson. Check out the maths week's daily activities for loads of fun maths activities that your family can do with everyday things that you might have at home.... and a little imagination.

See measurement activity here

This activity will see secondary school children using problem solving strategies to create a scaled map of their garden. They will practice the skills that they have learned in the classroom and apply them to their world. They will observe their surroundings and then select and use appropriate techniques to complete this task. Children will make estimates, then accurately measure the dimensions of the garden, and present the project as a scaled map inclusive of symbols.
"By asking What do you notice? What do you wonder? we give students opportunities to see problems in big picture ways, and discover multiple strategies for tackling a problem. Self-confidence, reflective skills, and engagement soar, and students discover that the goal is not to be "over and done," but to realize there are many different ways to approach problems." Explains Anthony Persico from Mash up Maths
Children should be prompted to ask questions and make assumptions - qualities of a great mathematician!

During problem solving, children should be encouraged to communicate their mathematics and explain their reasoning in written and verbal form.

By planting these seeds of mathematical thinking from an early age means that your child will be more likely to grow to love and appreciate the subject.

Negative attitudes towards maths can seriously impair progress and these activities are a fun, no-pressure way of promoting a positive attitude towards the subject (and keep young people occupied). Wherever possible, try to draw on the children's interests. For example, if they love to play with Lego then be sure to try incorporate Lego into the maths learning whenever possible (measure, geometry, statistics, etc)

In summary:

Be positive about maths, even when you are finding it difficult. As a parent you are the most important influence on students. Maths can be challenging but that is why people love it. Encourage a growth mindset (link) and reward effort and resilience rather than speed and intelligence.

Show your children that maths is all round, make maths part of your everyday lives. Encourage curiosity and do not worry about not knowing the material yourself - share the struggle with your child, work through it together. Getting over the struggle is where the magic happens.

Make maths fun! Play games that involve numbers and calculations and where possible draw on your child's interests.

Ten Black Dots Activities

If you are not familiar with the book, you should check it out! The book Ten Black Dots is a fun counting book written by Donald Crews. It's simple, but engaging for kids. The book explores what you can make with black dots. This book provides your students with opportunities to practice counting and explore their creativity.

One-to-One Correspondence Practice

A couple of my students struggle with one-to-one correspondence with counting. I pulled a couple of them for counting intervention. Each student was given a copy of the book and some black pom poms.

I reread the book and my intervention students followed along with their own copy of the book. On each page, students placed a pom pom on each black dot and practiced counting. This was a fun way for them to practice one-to-one correspondence when counting.

Ten Black Dots Class Book

I love to make class books and place them in our classroom library. Students feel like their work has a purpose. They see themselves as young authors!

After reading the book Ten Black Dots, we brainstormed things we can make with black dots. I modeled a couple of things to make, then challenged them to make their own black dot page.

First, we brainstormed ideas.

We began making individual pages during station time.

At their station, the first thing they did was use a 1-inch circle punch to make black circles with black construction paper. This was hard for some of them but was a great fine motor activity.

Next, they placed their dots on their paper and drew their design. I showed them how to color their design and then glue the dots down with their glue sponges.

After the pages were complete, I made a class book titled Black Dots. My students enjoyed looking through the pages to see what their classmates did with their dots. Would you like to try this activity with your class? Grab the free book cover and pages template below.

Use the book 10 Black Dots to inspire activities to work on composing 10 and number sense. Be creative with small world play and a free writing prompt.

I bought the book 10 Black Dots (Affiliate link) by Donald Crews over the summer, and I was so excited to use it in the classroom! It is perfect to learn how to decompose 10 and I used it to inspire some learning opportunities.

10 Black Dots Small World Play

I started by reading the book with our class and counting the dots on each of the pages. Then I set up a small world play center where students could create their own images using black dots. I cut some circles out of felt, and also put out 10 black gems. Added in some other loose parts and let students explore and create.

Love all their awesomely creative ideas: teddy bears, people, family at the movie theater, gardens!

They got a chance to use the materials in any way that they wanted. There was: gems, popsicle sticks, wood numbers, peg people, buttons, and small dowels.

10 Black Dots Class Book

The next week, we made a class book together. Every student got a chance to create their own image using black dots. We cut out a whole lot of black dots out of construction paper and let them create whatever they wanted.

I put them together into a book so that students can look through it whenever they want! They love seeing themselves as authors and illustrators.

If you would like to create your own class book, I am offering it as a freebie! I made it in two versions. The PDF is not editable so you would have to write in your class name, the Word document can be edited to add your name and the date to it.

Grab these free printable Number Tower Mats to give kids practice with counting and composing numbers while building number sense!

Number Tower Mats Math Activity

This number sense activity is just what you need to get your students practicing their math skills. Add it to your math center for practice with counting, addition, number recognition, composing and decomposing numbers, one-to-one correspondence, and fine motor practice!

The mats come in color and black and white, so you can use them even if you can't print in color. They include the numbers 1-10, so students get the chance to practice composing lots of different numbers.

How to differentiate this number sense activity.

Once you have the number tower mats, there are a couple of options for you to choose from. First, there are boxes with pictures of dominos on them. The students will use two colors of linking cubes to count and match the domino.

The next option is a building activity that shows one number. The student will use two colors of linking cubes to make a tower that equals that number. This increases the difficulty a bit by having students choose how many of each color to use to create the number tower.

The final option is a recording sheet for your students to write addition sentences to match the towers they created.

Students who aren't ready to use two colors to compose a number, can simply use one color and practice counting and number recognition.

They can be adapted to meet the needs of students at a huge variety of levels!

Print and Play Math Activity

The number towers activity includes multiple color game boards and a recording sheet. You will print them out and slide them into a write-and-wipe pocket or laminate for durability. Then gather some linking cubes and pencils and begin playing!

No cutting, coloring, or gluing is required! From one print-out, your students will be practicing their number recognition, counting, one-to-one correspondence, and fine motor skills!

Number Towers Math Activity (get it by clicking the button at the bottom of this post)

2 colors of linking cubes per student

Write and wipe pockets (optional)

Directions:

1. Print the game board and recording sheets.

2. Slide into write and wipe pockets for durability. You can also laminate it.

3. Gather the linking cubes.

4. Store in a large bag or storage container for easy access.

Using this Number Sense Activity

The first version shows a box with a domino on it. The students will use one color to create a tower on top of the left side of the domino and another color on the right side of the domino. Then, they will combine the two towers to make one cube tower.

Next, they will record the addition sentence they created. For example, the domino shows a 2 and a 5. They will make a tower with 2 yellows and a tower with 5 blues. Then they will combine the tower to make one tower. They will then write the addition sentence 2+5=7.

The second version is similar but more complex by having them problem-solve a little more. The mat shows a number, and the students will design a tower using 2 colors of cubes that add up to that number.

Then, they will write an addition sentence to match the tower that they built. For example, the mat has a 2 on it. The student would create a tower with 2 colors (1 red and 1 purple). Then, they would write the addition sentence to match (1+1=2).

More Ideas for the Number Tower Mats

Hands on activities included are 2 versions to play for easy differentiation! These game boards could be used for a small group, math centers, a whole class activity, an after-school tutoring group, and so much more.

If your students aren't ready to make addition sentences yet, you could use the mats with just numbers and have them make towers with one color to just practice counting and one-to-one correspondence.

They could use play dough to create little counters to match each numbered spot on the mat. Mini erasers would make a great manipulative for this idea, as well.

Students could also use different manipulatives like pom poms, building blocks, or other manipulatives.

Early finishers would love to work together with a partner to build a tower for every spot on the counting mat. This could be completed quietly once they have finished their main math lesson. If you have a student looking for more practice, they could transfer their addition sentence into a ten frame to take it even further.

Grab these number tower activity mats to have a fun way to practice number composition or counting all throughout the year. The printable counting mats are no prep for you, which is perfect for busy teachers!

The goal of this game is to match numerals cards to their corresponding dot cards. In this game, you set up a row of numeral cards and then match different dot cards to their corresponding numeral card. This is a really fun game that helps kids recognize how written numerals connect to quantities.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The activities below are divided into two sections, trees and leaves, and can be used to introduce or reinforce skills and concepts.
TREES Activity 1: a tree census
Conduct a survey of the different types of trees in the area you have chosen to study (eg school grounds, local park, street, etc). Record findings on a simple map with a key and show the number of different types of tree on a bar chart. Different groups of pupils can then decide to study one particular tree and find its age, the area of its crown, and estimate its total leaf area.
Activity 2: the age of a tree
Use a tape measure, or piece of string, and measure the distance around the trunk (or girth) about one metre from the ground. Every 2.5cm of girth corresponds to approximately one year's growth. So a tree with a girth of 100cm will be about 40 years old (100 divided by 2.5).
Activity 3: the tree crown
Walk round the tree and mark out where the outside edge of the leaves (the crown, or canopy) ends. Measure from the trunk to the edge of the crown in eight different directions (following the approximate points of the compass) and draw out the shape on square paper. You can then use this diagram to work out the area of the tree's crown.
Activity 4: leaf count
To estimate the approximate number of leaves and the total leaf area of a deciduous tree, count the number of leaves on one twig. Estimate the number of twigs on a branch and the number of branches, then multiply these numbers together to get the (rough) total number of leaves (see below).

Number of leaves on one twig: 8

Number of twigs on a branch: 24

Number of branches on the tree: 14

Total number of leaves on the tree: 8 x 24 x 14 = 2,688

To find a (rough) estimate of the total leaf area, take one branch and pick a selection of 15 different-sized leaves (five large, five medium and five small, to try to get a fair representation). Using square paper, work out the total area of these 15 leaves (see how to do this below, under measuring leaves); divide the total number of leaves on the tree by 15, and then multiply the answer by the area of the 15 leaves to find the total area of the tree's leaves.

For example, say the total num ber of leaves is 5,000 and the area of the 15 leaves is 450 sq cm:

(5,000 15) x 450 = 150,000 cm ²
Activity 5: the height of a tree
There are a number of ways of measuring this (eg by using a clinometer, using scale-diagram methods, etc). Compare the height of a local tree with that of the tallest tree in the world (use the Guinness Book of Records). Illustrate the difference using a scale diagram.
LEAVES
The leaves act as solar panels that provide trees with their food.
Activity 6: sorting leaves
Take a different leaf from each type of tree and sort the leaves in different ways (using a number of criteria). For example, are they large or small; broad or narrow; deciduous or evergreen; smooth-edged, jagged-edged or lobed; simple or compound (many leaflets); do they have many veins or few veins? These findings can be presented in the form of a carroll or venn diagram.
Activity 7: measuring leaves
Take several leaves from the same tree and measure the length and width. Record the range, and work out the average dimensions using mean, mode and median.

Oak leaf, Length in cm

1, 6

2, 4

3, 8

4, 7

Range: 4 (4-8 cm)

Mean average length: 6.25cm

Measure the perimeter using a piece of cotton or thread. To work out the area, draw round the leaf and estimate the area by counting one square centimetre for each square half covered or more, and zero for each square less than half covered. A more accurate measurement may be obtained by estimating the area that each whole square is covered by the leaf in decimal fractions.
Activity 8: leaves and symmetry
Leaf shapes provide excellent opportunities to introduce or reinforce the concepts of transformation and symmetry in its three forms of reflection, translation and rotation. Some striking design work can come from translating a leaf shape along a line using different rules.
Measuring with trees
Trees are large, woody plants that can be found almost everywhere. Perhaps you are lucky enough to have trees growing in your school grounds. In this resource you will find out the age of a tree, the height of a tree and its total leaf area. Each kind of tree also has differently shaped leaves, which can be measured, sorted and classified. Trees need a lot of water: in one day the roots of a large oak tree may suck up over 200 litres of water from the soil. How does this compare with how much you drink each day?

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
For the final week of this series of lessons, we are going outside the classroom, this time to investigate the mathematics that can be found from trees and their leaves. While some pupils will be lucky enough to have trees on their own site, others will need to visit the surrounding streets, parks and/or fields.

Welcome to the PDST Primary STEM Maths Week 2022 page. We are delighted to partner with Scoilnet again to bring you fun and enjoyable activities. This year the Primary STEM team aim is spotlighting how to infuse Mathematics and Literacy using picture books for all ages. We hope these resources will help spark creativity and imagination, leading to an enjoyable and rich Maths week for everyone.

The integration of mathematics with other subjects is an important factor in broadening the child's education... Children do not naturally make connections between work in one curriculum area and that in another, so it is important to help them to understand that mathematics is useful in their work in other areas... Integration adds to the child's enjoyment of mathematics, gives him/her added interest in the subject and encourages transfer of learning (PMC, 1999, p.46).

Through the following activities, we aim to infuse the creative nature of story and storytelling (oral and written language) with Mathematics. Using these playful approaches pupils, either individually or collaboratively, can develop their mathematical language and concepts.

Click on the buttons below to access some suggested activities suitable for all classes. Resources are available in English and Irish. Feel free to adapt these activities to suit the needs of your class.

Watch the video below which shows two people playing the first few turns of a game.

What do you notice?

What do you want to ask?

Watch the video a second time.

Can you work out how to play the game?

What do you think the rules might be?

How might someone win the game?

If you are unable to view the video, you could click through this powerpoint presentation, which also demonstrates how to play. Alternatively, the rules of the game are hidden below.

The aim of the game:

The player who stops their opponent from being able to go wins the game.

How to play:

The first player chooses two numbers on the line and crosses them out. Then they circle the sum or difference of the two numbers and they write down the calculation.

For example, the first player's turn could look like this:

The second player must start by crossing off the number that Player 1 has just circled. They then choose another number to cross out and then circle a third number which is the sum or difference of the two crossed-off numbers. Player 2 also writes down their calculation.

For example, once the second player has had a turn, the game could look like this:

Play continues in this way with each player starting with the number that has just been circled.

Once a number has been used in a calculation, it cannot be used again.

The game ends when one player cannot make a calculation. The other player is the winner.

It's your turn!

Try playing the game against someone else a few times to get a feel for it.

Do you have any good ways of winning?

Now it's time to work together with a partner, rather than against them.

Try to create a string of calculations that uses as many numbers as possible on the 0-20 number line.

Is it possible to create a string of number sentences that uses all the numbers on the 0-20 number line? Why or why not? How would you convince a mathematician?

Once you've had a good think about it, you may like to look at this proof that has been scrambled up.

Can you rearrange it into its original order?

If you would prefer to work away from a screen, you could print off, cut up and rearrange the statements. (This sheet includes three copies of each statement.)

What about the 1-20 number line? Is it possible to create a string of number sentences that uses all the numbers on the 1-20 number line? Why or why not? How would you convince a mathematician?

Again, once you have thought about it, you may like to look at this proof that has been scrambled up.

Can you rearrange it into its original order?

If you would prefer to work away from a screen, you could print off, cut up and rearrange the statements. (This sheet includes two copies of each statement.)
