Maths is a great curriculum area to link to everyday life. Do you have some ideas to help at home (or out at the shops)?

At school we teach using a combination of the Stonefields progressions and also the NZ Numeracy Project. If you're looking for some great activities that will work well at home, it's well worth having a look at their site:
This site has lots of ideas that are designed to be carried out at home. They provide all the printable materials that you'll need and list anything else that's required (dice, counters etc)... remember that if you don't have the specific materials they list, you can probably substitute them for something else (eg. instead of counters, you can use iceblock sticks that you get from the supermarket or $2 shop).
Once you've tried some of the activities, you might like to share the ones that are particularly successful for others to try...

Another neat site I've come across - this one is designed to help you teach your child their basic facts. We teach list words for word recognition and basic facts are in effect the mathematical equivalent.
You can find all the info here along with the sheets that you can print out for testing and even turn into flash cards should you choose.

Last one for today (you'll notice I've focused on printable versions as I know sometimes getting computer time for the kids can be challenging or undesirable for extended periods).
This PDF has a bunch of games that you're able to print and cut out (all you'll need is a dice to play some of the games) - some are relatively simple and a few will be extension games for later in the year. I'd suggest you print one or two games at a time based on the appropriate level for your child, and come back to the file when they're ready to move on.

Just be sure not to click through the the ad on the top of the page - the relevant info is actually plain text beneath that.
You can get the add/sub cards here.
