Maths Week

Maths at Home – Learning Beyond the Classroom

This week, we’re celebrating Maths Week Ireland — a national event that highlights the importance, creativity, and fun of maths in everyday life. In school we will have various events and opportunities for students to celebrate maths week. Throughout the week, we will also be sharing useful tips and advice on how you can support your child’s learning and confidence in maths at home.

Maths isn’t just a subject for school — it’s a skill for life.

Everyday activities like shopping, cooking, sport, or budgeting all help students see how maths connects to the real world. By encouraging maths talk at home, praising effort, and exploring puzzles or games together, parents can build confidence and positive attitudes towards maths.

Even small conversations about estimating, comparing, or problem-solving help students develop logical thinking, independence, and the skills they’ll need for future study, work, and daily life.

This Maths Week, let’s show that maths is everywhere — and for everyone!
