Maths is all around us and love it or hate it, we can’t escape it. The key is teaching your child the importance of maths and its relevance to everyday life.
We are constantly using maths, even though we often don’t realise it. From shopping to telling the time, things we do everyday use mathematical knowledge.

The way maths was taught to previous generations has changed with the rise of technology having an impact on how maths is taught today.
Due to technology, watches and calendars have been replaced with phones, so opportunities to learn to read an analogue clock or see the days, weeks, months on display are limited. The ease and convenience of EFTPOS and online banking has seen cash disappear from our wallets. Gone are the days of having piles of coins, where we could physically see our decimal system in action. Learning about the different value of the different coins and notes and how you could exchange a certain number of coins for a higher value note, was a fantastic opportunity for learning, which has now largely disappeared. We are not using the resources that connect us with the relevance and importance of mathematics, and students are struggling to relate or see value in this subject. We must talk with our children, play games with them that involve playing with money, and show them that maths is fun.
