Etz Chaim Jewish Primary School

Parent Maths Workshop 2015

The Etz Chaim Maths Parent Workshop was a great success. Sian Thomas, a maths advisor and Numicon trainer, led a practical session which focused on the progression of addition and subtraction.  It provided parents with an insight of how maths is taught at Etz Chaim.  We shared resources we use in the classroom such as Numicon, denies, multilink and counters.
