My son has just started secondary school. In primary - at the end of last year - he was given a trophy for being the best at maths. He was rated a 6 on that assessment thing at the end of year 6. (Forgive me, I'm foreign and don't know what these things are called.)
So today his homework was a sheet of questions like:
"What is 120 + 80?"
"what is half of 90 pence?"
"How many sixes are in 36?"
and the hardest/final question: "In a group of 45 children there are twice as many boys as girls. How many girls are there?"
My son of course found this very easy and finished it quickly.
The school says there is no "seeding" at this stage. Does that mean they don't yet separate them by ability? My son is apparently bright enough to win a cup in year 6 for maths. Anyway, doesn't this seem ridiculously simple for year 7?
Should I be concerned?

Is this normal maths for year 7?
