Can some wise MNers give me some advice. DS is in a yr1/yr2 class with an experienced teacher who he had last year and a newly qualified. He has been able to do arithmetic in tens (eg making change from 50 in monopoly) for about 6 months and is now doing with three figures at home. He also knows his 2,5, 10 and 11 times tables.
I went to meeting at the school last week, his teacher said the class' numeracy target was number bonds to ten ! He says his maths at school is too easy and last year he hard hardly any corrections in his exercise book so I think he is probrably right.
Is it too early to tackle the teacher (s) about this? Should I let them settle the new year ones first? or should I speak up early, I am very aware he has SATS this year and want him to do as well as he can.
It is difficult to know about ability setting but he sits with some of the brightest children, whose reading is well above his .
