We had a maths workshop last week for parents re: maths in Y2. Some of the questions posed were very tricky I thought. Would a child that was on course for a high level 2 or 3 at the end of KS1 be expected to know the following fully?:
All the times tables by heart
Be able to work out a quarter of any number
Be very proficient at 'partitioning' division etc
Our school set for maths in Y3 and have a reputation for very stagnant setting with lots of behavioural problems in the bottom sets. I am keen that DS does as well as possible this year.
Some of the questions that were given as examples of the work, made me scratch my head a bit! DS will still be 6 at the end of the year too!
For example:
Look at this sequence: 224 112 56 28 14 7
Tick the rule for this sequence:
divide by 3
add 7
subtract 10
divide by 2
Look at the digit cards: 948
Use all the digits to make the number nearest to 900.
Write the answer: 60x5 =
Write the correct number in the box
1067 to the nearest 100 =
