Maths learning apps/sites KS3

My daughter is currently in yr8 and struggling with learning maths - this is massively impacting her self esteem and causing struggles with all subjects (she does have some SEN and we are in discussions with the school).

In primary, she did well with Doodle - but she grew out of it - but is now finding maths hard again. She doesn't like discussing with parents (low self esteem) my maths is now quite rusty and don't really know how the subject is taught, now schools don't have text books.

Does anyone have experience with apps/sites that help teach the subject (not just revision/testing) that they'd recommend for 12yr old and potentially older?

Thanks

@DookingFerret

Would the Kumon programme be suitable for her, OP?

I remember hearing about it several years ago.

There are bound to be other posters who have used it recently and who will be able to advise.

Anything in particular she's struggling with?
Has she mastered the basics?

Have you seen any of her tests to figure out what she's finding difficult?

Doesn't the school provide an account for things like Dr Frost or MyMaths for revision or homework purposes?

It would probably be best to email her maths teacher to ask for some suggestions . They will know better what she struggled with and what topics she needs to practice.

Does the school have a subscription to a maths platform like mathswatch where she can watch videos and do questions which are instantly marked?

Or if not, mathsgenie is good because it lists topics in increasing order of difficulty.

You can search the national curriculum requirements and find text books to support if you’d feel more comfortable with more of a paper based approach. CGP workbooks are great and will set everything out.
