DS is in y4. V confident with numbers and maths, DH and I are both numbers people and we encourage dc to be the same. Last year school used traditional techniques and DS thrived. This year we are back to number lines and he is struggling to get it. eg.. If I gave him a subtraction to do in his head he can do it, and he could do it in column format, but struggles when applying the number line principle. It doesn't make sense to him .
Part of me wants to agree with him, and ignore, but I dont want to undermine the school or put him off his lessons which he enjoys ?
Are there any teachers out there who can assure me that this is a sensible approach and that we will all benefit from this in the long run?
