I have started a thread on here before about DD and her maths.
DD has just finished Y1 so is going into Y2. According to her report (which is a little difficult to decipher because of the removal of levels) she appears to be doing Ok in Maths.
The categorization of how well they're doing was 'VG (Very Good), E (Expected) and RI (Requires Improvement). The decision appeared to be based on the amount of progress and VG was 'Better than expected progress', 'Expected' progress and 'Requires Improvement'. DD got VG for all the maths elements.
It looks like all of the DCs (from what I can gather) had the same 'Next Steps' which was to do quick recall of 2s, 5s and 10s.
But I am struggling to get DD to recall any of her tables. 10s she can do and most of the 2s but seems to be struggling with the 5s. She can work it out if she uses her fingers but can't do quick recall.
She seems to be very much ahead in the English side (reading/writing/spelling) as she's been doing all that with the top Y2 sets. But the Maths she appears to be a lot less confident with and tries to resist doing it.
She enjoys doing the Carol Vorderman books so she works through those so I've ordered the times tables one, but other than that, any tips on how to learn quick recall on these?
DD is having a fab Summer holiday by the way - I'm not making her do schoolwork, but I just think if I can get her comfortable with these tables before she goes back, she'll feel more confident...
