Family Maths Nights.
Bring children, parents and teachers together for an evening of mathematical exploration, problem-solving and shared discovery.
An interactive school event where families experience mathematics through hands-on activities, games and meaningful conversation.
Help families experience mathematics differently.
For many parents, mathematics brings back memories of rules, textbooks and trying to remember the correct method.
A Family Maths Night offers something different. Children and adults work side by side on engaging mathematical tasks, exploring strategies, testing ideas and discovering that mathematics is about much more than getting the right answer.
Parents don’t need to remember school mathematics or have all the answers. Everyone is encouraged to participate, ask questions and enjoy thinking together.
Everyone gets involved.
Family Maths Nights are active, welcoming and mathematically purposeful. Rather than sitting through a presentation, families explore activities together.
Hands-on
Families work together on games, puzzles and investigations, using mathematical materials and their own ideas to solve problems.
Accessible
Activities have accessible starting points and opportunities for further challenge, allowing children and adults to contribute at different levels.
Mathematically rich
Every activity has a mathematical purpose, encouraging reasoning, pattern-spotting, problem-solving and discussion.
A room full of mathematics.
Picture your school hall filled with families investigating puzzles, playing mathematical games and sharing discoveries. Activities are selected to suit your school community and student year levels.
Strategy games
Explore games where careful decisions, predicting outcomes and testing strategies matter more than speed.
Spatial puzzles
Investigate shapes, arrangements and geometric challenges that encourage visualisation and flexible thinking.
Number & pattern investigations
Discover numerical relationships, look for patterns and explore what happens when mathematical ideas are extended.
Collaborative challenges
Work together on problems with multiple possible approaches, comparing ideas and explaining mathematical reasoning.
These are examples rather than a fixed activity list. Each event is planned around the needs of the participating school community.
Give parents a window into mathematical thinking.
The mathematics children experience at school can look quite different from what their parents remember.
A Family Maths Night gives schools an opportunity to share a broader picture of mathematics through experience rather than explanation.
Families see the value of reasoning, discussion and problem-solving—and how these experiences support mathematical understanding.
Build a positive mathematics culture
Create an enjoyable shared experience that challenges the idea that mathematics is simply about speed, rules and correct answers.
Strengthen school–family connections
Bring children, parents and teachers together around activities that encourage participation, curiosity and conversation.
Encourage mathematical thinking at home
Help parents recognise the value of asking questions, exploring different strategies and encouraging children to explain their thinking.
Designed around your school.
Every school community is different. We’ll work with you to shape an event that suits your students, families and available facilities.
Tell us about your school
We’ll discuss your student year levels, expected attendance, available space and what you’d like families to take away from the evening.
Plan the activities
We’ll select appropriate mathematical activities and discuss the practical arrangements for running the event.
Bring families together
Your school hosts an interactive evening where families explore mathematics, share ideas and enjoy learning together.
Let’s plan something for your community.
