2. Ian Rinaldi then shared information on how Maths is taught at DCIS in year groups 1 – 6.  Mr Rinaldi discussed a range of teaching strategies used and highlighted how the National Curriculum outlines its aims, purpose and programmes of study. The parents got involved with a mini maths quiz based on this as well!
3. Kara Lebihan rounded up the presentation by discussing ways to help children at home with their maths. A range of activities, ideas and examples were shared. These examples were also reflected with the age of the child.
