DD is, generally doing well at maths in Y3. She loves geometry, data handling, time problems etc. She knows her multiplication tables to 10. I do a bit of extra work with her at home on maths, as she had a terrible year last year and I want to keep on top of this. She's now confident about her maths skills and enjoys the subject.
To my horror, I found she's still struggling with very very basic number bonds (Bonds to 10 and bonds to 20). I don't know why this is, but feel that I have to tackle it at home, as these skills are so crucial to any progress and development in maths.
Has anyone out there ever had this? How to approach? Practice sheets daily? This is so specific and the online programmes don't really address this. I've never used rewards for schoolwork or music practise, but am considering this now. Mistake? Might not take very long (by Easter could she be solid?). Really want to deal with this but not turn her off maths.
