How to help a 13 year old with maths at home
Use real prices
Shop discounts, marks out of 80 and phone data use are all percentages. Ask which deal is better and why.
Estimate before calculating
Roughly how much will this bill be? Then check. Close counts, and estimating catches silly slips.
Cricket is statistics
Batting averages, run rates and strike rates are means and ratios your child already cares about.
Negative numbers in the world
Temperatures, lift floors below ground and bank balances make integers concrete.
