HOW CAN YOU HELP YOUR CHILD IN MATHEMATICS?
As you progress through the school years, mathematics becomes slightly more
complex but even more fascinating. There are many new concepts to learn,
however being able to master the basics is still the key to developing confidence
and being able to progress further.
This orange Mighty Maths series, Master Mathematician, introduces a number of new
concepts such as adding and subtracting larger numbers, arithmetic order of
operation and integers. Other topics such as number, decimals and fractions are
expanded upon. The work is progressively more challenging and new concepts are
introduced in each book at various points.
To help reinforce mathematical skills as well as to maintain motivation, the same

type of question is asked in different ways and contexts. Don’t worry if your child
cannot understand one of the concepts. Quite often that same concept will be
introduced in a different way later on in the book. If your child becomes
comfortable with a particular way of solving a problem then let them carry on using
this method.
A common question that is asked of mathematics teachers is whether a child should

use a calculator at this stage of their learning. It is important that they learn and
understand each basic concept and the underlying principles. Once that is achieved
then there is a case for using the calculator so that they can further explore ways of
solving the same problem and therefore increasing their understanding a lot quicker.
This specific book covers numbers to 1000 and the place value of each of the digits.
It then devotes a number of pages to column arithmetic, basic fraction work and
gives some initial multiplication strategies and exercises to practise on.
For best results:
Go over the pages that your child will work on and familiarise yourself with
the exercises. Make sure your children understand the different concepts. Try
and explain what is happening on each of the pages.
Encourage your children to write neatly. Many errors in solving mathematics

problems can be traced back to sloppy number writing.
Provide help immediately when needed. Mathematics is a subject in which

everything builds upon what has been previously learned. For example, a
failure to understand fractions and decimals will lead to problems later with
percentages.
We hope that you and your children have fun with Mighty Maths. At Mahobe, we
certainly had fun putting it all together and trialling it with 8-10 year olds.
