Your Child can count to 100 and knows that 7 - 3 = 4

Does this mean they understand Numbers and Operations?

Numbers and operations are the starting point for any persons’ math journey. They go together like peas in a pod. Peas without a pod don’t exist, and well a pod without peas is pretty useless!

Children start understanding the concept of numbers and of simple operations such as addition and subtraction at an extremely early age. How young? Would six months sound crazy to you? Well research shows this is the age!

Though it may seem over simplified, there are only four operations in math, that your K6 student must know!

  • Addition
  • Subtraction
  • Multiplication
  • Division


    • Everything in math Stems from these. Actually, since subtraction is the addition of a negative number, and division is the multiplication of a fraction (rational number), there are only two operations that ALL math is built upon.

    Now wouldn't it be nice for you and your child if it all stoped there!

    Actually no it wouldn't. Though it may not seem like it when your child is learning a new numbers and operations, everything is designed to make advanced math much easier. Even taking something (now as common place) as our number system - had we stayed with earlier number systems, our life most certainly would not be as it is today.

    Here is a comprehensive list of the numbers and operations your child must learn during their K6 Math journey.

  • Natural Number Comprehension
  • Whole number comprehension
  • Addition and multiple digit addition
  • Subtraction and multiple digit subtraction
  • Multiplication and long multiplication
  • Division and long division
  • Intigers (negative numbers)

  • Rational Numbers (Fractions)
  • Addition of Rational Numbers

  • Ratio and Proportion
  • Calculation in a base different to base 10
  • Representation of the different numbers
  • History of our number system including Roman Numerals
