DS1 is in yr 11 and just finished his mocks. He's done pretty well in most of his subjects but we're worried about his Maths results.
He's predicted an 8 next summer, achieved a 5+ in April and a 6 this time round. Is he doing ok? He's my eldest so have no idea if he's still on target.
Our main concern is he's chosen maths heavy A Levels for college - Maths, Further Maths and Physics ( and Geography). I'm wondering if this is a mistake and he's going to take on too much? The further Maths was always going to be taken on with the intention of dropping if necessary.
He's always been seen as an able mathematician , it's very much his thing. However he seems to have hit a brick wall. He's a bit of a lazy learner - does minimal revision etc.
Non of it is helped that he has no idea what he wants to do, so has nothing to aim for. I don't want to over nag at him, he's doing so well in other subjects and I want him to feel proud of himself.
How can we help him with his Maths? Are his results sounding ok? He needs a grade 7 to get into Maths A level? Should we be considering other options?
Any advice would be much appreciated!
