Hi everyone, we live in Dubai where the schools are very over-subscribed. Our son has an interview on Monday; he will also have an entrance test. There are 60 children going for one place, so not only do I have to ensure that he is as charming as he can possibly be, but I also need to ensure that he is up to speed academically.
For Maths, he can add up quite large numbers, but always uses either a number line, counters or rods & cubes. It is possible that he may have to use his fingers for the test. How do you add up 3 + 8 on your fingers, for instance? Can anybody advise?
His reading is fine, but what should I get him to practice in terms of writing?
Also, if anybody has any advice for us at all, I would be really grateful. I am desperate to get my son into school.
Thanks,
LLLL x
