Why is Early Maths Intervention Important? 🧑🔬
Scientists and psychologists have long known that early intervention is crucial.
Start Early: 🧮
To researchers’ horror, they discovered that maths anxiety begins much earlier than they imagined—at the tender age of 4. 👶
50 years of research by the Institute for Fiscal Studies proves: 🧑🔬
Early maths knowledge strongly predicts future earnings. To combat this and make maths fun and stress-free, below are a few fun suggestions.👇
As a mother of three: 👶👧👦
I know raising children is exhausting, which is why we created our fun and secret Fables World technique to teach maths. Our method cuts learning time by over 60%, requires no parental involvement, and makes children laugh. 🙌
3 Fun Maths (Math) Game Ideas to Keep Your Child Engaged with Numbers. 👶🧮👇
No. 1 Games:
- Counting Treasure Hunt: Ask children to find 5 leaves, 4 rocks, 3 sticks. 🌳
- Hopscotch: Helps with counting and physical coordination.🤾
- Counting Backwards: Walk forward while counting 20 paces, then walk backwards and count from 20 to zero. This enhances left/right brain connectivity.🚀
No. 2 Playing Cards:
- Pairs Game: Lay out all 52 cards and take turns finding matching numbers. This improves number recognition and short-term memory. Winner is the one with the most pairs.♠🃏
- Vingt-et-un (21): Each player receives two cards, with the option to twist (get more cards) or stick (no more cards). The winner is the one closest to 21 without going over.♠🃏
- Finger Counting: If your child is struggling with counting on fingers, join Fables World and email us for a free Zoom session. We can solve their issues in 1 hour.🌍
No. 3 Holiday Brain Drain:
- 😢 More maths is lost over holidays than reading knowledge
- 📚 Children are exposed to reading books, comics, magazines, billboards, and cereal packets, but do no maths during the holidays.
- 👩🏫 This leads to a significant learning gap that takes teachers or parents 3-6 months to re-teach.
- 💰 Fables World runs £100 giveaways during the summer months to combat this issue and help parents provide guilt-free screen time.
