MathsAtHome app for iPhone and iPad

The ‘Maths@Home’ app gives adults ideas of various activities that will support
children’s mathematical development using resources easily available in and around
the home.
The app was co-designed by researchers at University College London with parents

mathematical development and personalised learning.
The activities are informed by the English national curriculum and Early Years

to 6 years old.
The activities are linked to a blog where you find out more about mathematical
development for young children and how the games support their development.
