I recently sat down with DS1 with some SATS past papers. His last school report said he was doing well in maths and no areas for concern, so I thought this would be ok for him. It wasn't. He cannot problem solve at all. If I say 'what's three times seven' he can give the correct answer but if the question reads 'there are three plates with seven cookies, how many cookies?' My DS GENUINLY HAS NO IDEA.
Same with questions like 'what's the difference' and don't even get me started on dividing.
I am happy to work on this with him in the evening but I am so concerned. Is this normal? His teacher thinks he's ok, what do you think?
I'd love to know how other form 2 kids are doing to see if my DS needs extra help.
