Need extra maths support for your child?

If you need some extra maths support for your primary school child then I can highly recommend the book “No Nonsense Maths”. It supports the mathematics National Curriculum and gives children plenty of practice with problem solving word questions which is now the way many of the Sat’s questions for mathematics have evolved.

I’m pretty sure I bought mine over the summer in Bookworld Espana in Puerto Banus but you could certainly order it from them. No Nonsense Maths by Bond. My youngest has got big gaps in her learning and this is helping to go over those gaps as well as giving her the work for the week ahead so that when she sees for example negative numbers for the first time she feels a degree of confidence about them and doesn’t panic. Unfortuantely in Primary Schools the mathematics teaching isn’t always good. Teachers have to speed  through subjects and if your child has a gap in their knowledge, this is going to give them problems with future learning objectives.

The book I have mentioned is broken into years, so I bought age 8-9 as my child is in Year 4. You obviously would choose the right book depending on your child’s age.

Now recite with me,

1×2 is 2

2×2 is 4
