In addition to receiving their report cards today, all Kindergarten to Grade 6 students were given a copy of the Ontario Ministry of Education’s resource called “Doing Mathematics With Your Child”. The activities in this guide were selected to help your child see math in everyday activities. They build on children’s love of games and they support the learning expectations in the Ontario mathematics curriculum. In addition to the math activities described in the booklet, several online resources are recommended by the Ministry. Visit the Homework Zone at www.tvokids.com for free videos, games and activities to help your child with literacy development, math and science. Also visit www.tvoparents.com for Ontario-focused resources to support your child’s learning journey.

Please note: In this guide, the word parent refers to parents, guardians, caregivers and other family members who help children learn mathematics.

A pdf version of the resource can be found at http://www.edu.gov.on.ca/eng/literacynumeracy/parentGuideNumEn.pdf
