Recently my friend Ana from Pinknounou shared a really fun way to teach maths and I had to share it with you. The idea – using lego bricks to teach maths! This is such a creative idea, right? I’m all for doing anything and everything to make maths fun so that our kids develop a love for maths from an early age rather than a fear of it.
Hands up, who is maths phobic? It turns out that a lot of us parents are and that we can unintentionally pass on this math phobia to our kids.
We tend to place a lot of emphasis on language and reading. Every parent I know reads to their kids at bedtime and usually started when their kids were babies. But why not the same importance for maths? If I had to choose between the two, I would say that maths is a more important skill to understand and feel confident about. I’ve read a lot recently about this and it really resonated with me. Up till now Anya has loved and enjoyed maths but recently she started struggling with the concept of division and I started hearing phrases like ‘I can’t do it’ and ‘I just don’t understand’. That’s when I went hunting for a maths book for kids to help make maths more fun for her.
