The idea of the site is to provide some information on how to support your child's mathematical skills and understanding with activities you can do together. When you visit the site, there are four main categories to explore: At home, Out and About, Hobbies, and Money. You can also select the link to “View all topics” which will allow you to look up mathematical ideas by specific content area. Most sections can also be navigated based on the age of your child, from Kindergarten to Year 10.

Found at the bottom of the homepage are a variety of links through to additional resources for parents and carers, including a maths glossary called “Maths A to Z”. https://education.nsw.gov.au/parents-and-carers/learning/maths/maths-a-to-z.
