DS is quite good at maths. The class is divided into 4 ability "tables" for lessons and he and another boy are a 5th table on their own. The levels in the class vary from 1a to DS and friend who are 4a (ie not geniuses but quicker than the majority). The result is that they rarely get any teaching but spend most maths lessons doing activities on Education City or similar sites.
They are bored and I don't think more time on the computer at home is the answer. Does anyone have any ideas? Would a tutor be the answer? Are there any maths clubs out there? (we are in sw surrey) I don't want him to progress upwards iykwim but to broaden his understanding and not lose his enthusiasm.
I am not mathematically inclined at all btw!
