Toy Shop Money is a game for helping children understand UK money. There are two game modes; the first where children use coins to make up varying amounts to buy the toys and the second where they work out change.

This money game has varying levels of difficulty; the easiest levels involve working out amounts with coins of the same denomination and the activities progress from counting out amounts with mixed coins to working out change from up to a £10 note.

The game also supports other currencies including Euros, and Australian and US money.

Coins game is a money game which introduces children to coinage in British, Australian, American and Euro currencies. The currency defaults to British, but can be changed by clicking on the flags. The game is designed for 4-10 year olds.

It has three game modes. The first activity, Sorting, helps children to recognise the different coins. The second, Ordering, involves arranging the coins from lowest to highest values. Thirdly, the Counting game has eight different ability levels where children count the amounts of money on a piggy bank. It can help to improve children's accuracy in counting money and it is useful for classroom money activities as a better alternative than plastic money. All three activities lend themselves well to use on an interactive whiteboard.

How to help your children with the Maths you don't understand

# data[].attributes.body
A great article from The Conversation, with links to other pages or sites which explain number bonds, chunking and how to overcome maths anxiety

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
School closures have left many parents in charge of overseeing their children's education at home. If you are one of them, you might be struggling with maths in particular - not least due to having to grapple with topics and techniques you are unfamiliar with, such as number bonds, abundant numbers, chunking and more.

But this is where a positive mindset, and the ability to accept that you are also on a learning path, can help. Here are some tips on the best way to tackle teaching maths you don't know.

Work together

Think of yourself as accompanying your child towards understanding a new concept, rather than explaining it to them. As a parent, there is a natural desire to provide for and support your child with your experience, but this is impossible when you do not know what you want to explain.

What you are able to do is to tap into is your past experiences of having solved problems and managed challenges. So simply be honest and say to your child that this method is new to you, too, but that you will work to understand it together.

Start small and use props

New concepts can be overwhelming. Start as small as you can, and play around with something concrete - such as buttons or pennies or pieces of Lego - to help you both understand. For instance, your child might be working on number bonds: learning the pairs of numbers that add together to make a particular total.

Phil's Mommy/Shutterstock

To give an example, the number bonds of seven are two plus five and three plus four. Physically laying out seven buttons and splitting them into two and five, and then three and four, can help both you and your child familiarise yourselves with the concept and then understand how it works.

Think about why it's useful

Learning maths may seem pointless, and this can lead to frustration. After all, there is not much need to know how to divide 155,252,188 by 19,838 when the calculator on your phone will do it for you.

But this does not mean that you don't need to do any mental computation at all in life. Perhaps you have a budget of £50 and want to know quickly if buying three items priced £13, £20 and £17 will push you over this total. Your knowledge of number bonds tells you that three plus seven is ten - so 13 plus 17 is 30, which plus the additional 20 puts you perfectly at your budget.

Since the 1980s, theories about the best methods of education have moved away from rote learning, which can cause pupils to disengage from maths. Instead, education experts have championed more engaging methods, based on learning through experience. The maths national curriculum was lagging behind these ideas until the national numeracy strategy was launched in 1999. A further revamp of the national curriculum followed in 2013.

The focus is now on teaching pupils to become problem solvers: fluent in maths with the ability to reason and apply what they have learned. In teaching number bonds, you are helping your child develop a numerical tool that can allow them to effectively process simple computations, which in turn make them more capable of dealing with problems in life or at work.

Avoid the fear factor

It is easy, especially if you have had bad experiences with maths in your past, to give way to panic. Teaching unknown concepts could make what is known as maths anxiety - the irrational fear of anything mathematical - resurface.

sakkmesterke/Shutterstock

The risk is that this fear can be passed to your child. This can have consequences for their enjoyment of school - and even for the decisions they make in life.

Read more: What a fear of maths does to children - new research

A simple trick is to not think that you are doing maths, but that you helping your child to learn useful life tools. Giving maths a more friendly name, such as "problem-solving tricks" or "calculation tools" - that better reflects your own abilities - can boost confidence and keep maths anxiety at bay.

Keep it real

Once you and your child have learned a mathematical concept, try to make it more real and use it in everyday life. Make number bonds with biscuits or pieces of fruit. Add up prices of supermarket items. Be creative and make colourful number bond patterns with building blocks or objects such as sticks and leaves you find on a stroll.

Finally, don't be discouraged if you sometimes struggle. And allow yourself and your child plenty of time to learn a new idea. Some mathematical concepts can be counter-intuitive or hard, and it is fine to sometimes let go, do something else, and come back to it at another time. Try to reward yourself for your successes, and remember that learning in a more positive, playful way will help make homeschooling a positive experience.

Do Home Educators have to follow a curriculum?

No - not at all. Home Educators are free to provide any education they deem suitable. At Twinkl we have many Home Educating members who make use of our PlanIt materials and we have had requests to provide a teaching sequence.

How will the Home Learning Hub help me Home Educate?

If you are interested in using the teaching materials from PlanIt to serve as a Home Education curriculum, the Home Learning Hub will save you hours of planning time. Once you are familiar with the way the PlanIt units work, you will find you can quickly decide how to best use each one with your family. A helpful course Using Twinkl PlanIt as a Home Educator is available to help you get started.

Where can I find more support for Home Education?

Twinkl Home Educators is a thriving segment of Twinkl and we can offer you support as a Home Educator in many different ways. We have our own Home Education Landing Page which is your home on the Twinkl website, a Home Education blog, an Instagram page, and a YouTube Channel - all in addition to our ever popular Facebook Group.

A measuring game for children aged 5 to 9 years of age. This game provides a useful introduction for children learning to use a ruler. It works well on an interactive whiteboard so that teachers can demonstrate the positioning of objects at the beginning of the scale rather than the end of the ruler.

There are two levels; one with whole numbers of centimetres and the second with mixed examples involving whole numbers and halves. The game also provides a good introduction to reading scales.
