Successful home-school collaborations: Let’s talk about maths at home.

Families lay the foundation for their children’s future educational success. Engaging families in mathematics education has positive benefits for their child’s attitude, motivation to learn, and academic achievement. Fostering school-home partnerships are essential to ensure that mathematics learnt in the classroom have wider applicability to home and community and assist with classroom learning of mathematics. Collaboration and communication between school and home offers families an understanding of the language of education and how mathematics teaching occurs today, while offering schools a rich source of personalised expertise about their students, along with greater support from home.
