Blogs are a useful way to inform parents what their child is learning about and how they can support them at home. See Resource 9 for more information.
Games can be used to help learning continue at home. Consider setting up a family game kit for students to take home, along with the rules of the game. Have students teach a family member how to play.
nzmaths provides a list of games and activities at www.nzmaths.co.nz/node/1390
Additional games that can be used to support numeracy at home can be found in the Families and whānau section of the nzmaths website.
