- The Integer Block Kit is such an integral tool that is used for mastery of all number and algebra, this is a necessary requirement for parents attending.
"This training is heavily discounted for parents. We honor and promote the absolute benefit of parents understanding - and supporting - their child's learning journey. As parents, we are all aware that our own confidence - or lack thereof - impacts the way we relate to our children.
Maths is a subject that many of us put in the "too hard" basket, particularly if we've not understood it, and even more so if our children have a learning difference. Our mission during this "playshop" is to de-bunk the ingrained belief that maths is hard to teach.
Come along, see how easy maths is when we learn it in a hands-on way, and be empowered to be able to truly support your child's maths learning journey."
