New to this- need help with Maths

[usernametaken]

A while ago I posted asking for some maths advice.
I feel DD really needs a more formal Maths curriculum to follow. She loves to do maths and asks to do it everyday, the problem is I am really lacking in imagination as to what to teach her next, so I feel the best way for us to go is via a curriculum. We've looked at a few workbooks bought from the bookshops but they don't offer any teaching, more just a review of areas. I've been researching things like Singapore Maths, Miquon etc, are there are any others that you can recommend that would have a good practical set of activities and a step by step idiots guide on how to teach it!
The curriculum can be online or via books.

I am also a little unsure of what sort of level she is. I suspect a late Year 2, early Year 3 stage, but is there anywhere that I can fins out where to place her. We tried an old SATs paper that I found online and she scored well but with a few gaps. Some of those gaps need to be addressed before she can move forward.

Many thanks

This is a fab site for most subjects.

You don't say how old she is but if you look at my link it gives just about every site there is, including primary resources mentioned by MrsFreud-my favourite. It stretches from age 4 to A'level, some are American, there a site by homeschoolers.

lnsg: I like the look of Rightstart Maths a lot, but was put off by the shipping costs to the uk - do you know if they have suppliers in the UK? How do you manage this? I need Level B.

Sorry for hi-jacking the thread!

Psycho - I have only the book, and made everything else ... Abacus from bamboo skewers and balsa wood and beads and foam and LOTS of glue. Cards and shapes just printed and cut out from paper. Tally sticks from Wilkinson's crafty stuff. "Geoboard" from piece of wood and carpet tacks and LOTS of hammering (in fact you can probably buy this from some nursery supply place or perhaps even toy shop). Mirror from Ikea after removing hideous frame. We don't do everything (especially anything to do with worksheets since we don't have them!) There are some really good ideas in there. But unfortunately I've not come across suppliers in UK. I expect Level B would require more sophisticated toys tools?

My daughter loves these books. You could start with the year 2 and work upwards. They are very clearly laid out and explained, and there are free worksheets on their website to give extra practice. I'm not sure quite why the appeal as there are no gimmicks at all, but she can't wait to do it each day. My only regret is they don't do secondary!!

We are very structured and I found workbooks 'jumped' from topic to topic before the children had really had time to understand what they were being asked to do so I went and bought Classworks numeracy Year 1 book. I really like it because it has actual 'lessons' (if thats your thing of course) and they often involve a more hands on rather than paper based approach to maths- and it has photocopyable worksheets to practice with. I also use pages from workbooks if they are topical but I now use them to back up the lessons from this book. If you are structured you might like it www.amazon.co.uk/Classworks-Numeracy-numeracy-teachers-resource/dp/0748773355/ref=sr_1_1?ie=U&tag=mumsnet&ascsubtag=mnforum-21 TF8&s=books&qid=1236633888&sr=8-1

We use a combination of Singapore Math and Miquon Maths. They (2dc's) have Educationcity.com for the NC too, which allows you to set the level at which they are at, not age level iyswim.
EducationCity is pretty good value as it covers Literacy, Science and languages too for the annual subscription.
You can sign up for a free trial for 14 days and try it out.

If you want to subscribe after that there are tell-a-friend codes you can use to get an extra 3 months, plus a code for HE'ers to get £10 off your first year, all in all a bargain if it's your thing.
Let me know if you'd like my code for the additional 3 months

Thanks all for your replies, they have been really helpful.
I found this book the other day www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_ss_b_3_7?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=100%20maths%20fra&tag=mumsnet&ascsubtag=mnforum-21 mework+lessons+year+2&sprefix=100+mat
A teacher friend mentioned she gets most of her weekly planning from it. It has lots of very practical lessons in it with minimal recording. Each lesson is laid out with a starter, a teaching moment and an activity.
I'll give it a go and play it by ear.

A book I've found v useful is 'Primary Mathematics' by Mary Deboys and Eunice Pitt (pub The Black Staff Press) - it's an Open University Set Book, so might be available thru' their web site. It sets out how children progress through each maths topic, and give lots of ideas for practical, hands on activities. I always had it by my side when planning weekly maths lessons when I was teaching!
