Teaching math to our children is not a simple thing. Sometimes we can do their work, but how to explain in a proper word so they can understand is a different problem. My daughter and I have different concepts in math because my daughter get her math in the UK, and I got math in Indonesia. She has different way how to take away numbers, how to learn multiplication, money, units. But I still try to teach her at numeracy in the way that I can do.
Here are some examples activities that I and my daughter do to tackle with math problems:
Shopping:
Usually I take her to shop. I asked her to check the product's price that we want to buy. When we went to car boot sale, I let her to ask the price and count by herself how much money she needed to pay to the seller, and count ho much the change. So she can learn about money, adding, and taking away.
Cooking:
She likes to help when I busy in the kitchen. I will let her help me in the weekend but not in the busy day. She like to help me making cup cake, or buns, or meat ball. She shaped the dough into her favourite shapes such as heart shape, doughnut shape, cube shape, or triangle. Before that, she also helped me to measure the ingredients, how much we need flour, how many eggs we need, etc. I showed her how long we need to put the dough in the oven, so she knows about time and duration.
Checking the calender:
She can learn about date, how many days in a week, months in a year, what date tomorrow is, what date a week after is, what months after August is, etc.
Computer Game:
I give her time to play math games on the internet, after school, or in the morning before she goes to school. Sometimes we play together in the computer. She can choose any math game that suit with her year. She can learn how to make many kinds of chart about favourite foods, sweet treats etc.
Sing a song:
She likes to memorize multiplication by sing a song. She found the song from bbc KS2. It makes her easier to learn math. We sing a song in both English language and Bahasa (our first language).
Give her timer when she doing something:
When she brush her teeth, I told her to take 2 minutes by counting 30 by 4 or 60 by 2. I asked her to read a book for about 15 or 30 minutes. When she wants to play a fun game (not education game), I give her 1 hour, and I always ask her to check in what number in the clock she should stop playing.
Making something:
My daughter likes to make crafts, she made tiara, scrap books, bookmarks, etc. I helped her to measure the papers she need, and then she drew a shape she wanted, what colours she chosed. She also like to make bracelets or necklaces using multicolour beads, so she learns about pattern.
