Practise telling the time at home using both analogue and digital clocks. We will be learning time in the summer term but if you can practise beforehand, this helps us hugely at school.

Some board games you have around the house will involve mathematical strategy/knowledge, for example Scrabble and Battleships. Other games like bingo and Countdown can be great ways to test mathematical knowledge.
