Following feedback from parents and carers, one recurring
theme seems to be a fear of maths and supporting their child at home. So, we’ve engaged with numeracy experts in
Wales to produce a selection of maths resources aimed at 3 to 16 year olds to
encourage parents and carers to engage with their children and support them with
their maths homework.

A new resource has been
added to Theme 4 in the FaCE toolkit. Family learning programmes (FLPs) can be
a strong tool to encourage and support family engagement in a child’s learning.
Use the resource to reflect on your practice.
