Numeracy Resources

Numeracy is “the ability, willingness, and perseverance to interpret and apply mathematical understanding to solve problems in contextualized situations, and to analyze and communicate these solutions in ways relevant to the given context.” (BC Curriculum) 

Using at-home opportunities to engage in mathematical thinking can further enhance your child’s numeracy development no matter what age! Once you start drawing your child’s attention to where we use mathematics in our daily lives, you will likely have even more numeracy ideas to point out and share.

Here are some resources that may be helpful to supporting your child's numeracy learning at home:
