DS1's teacher called me in today to have a chat about his progress. I don't think we have a child prodigy on our hands, but he is certainly quite bright maths and reading-wise. (He's reading at ORT stage 9 at aged 5y 11m; I'm not sure how far ahead that is.) He is certainly not very impressed by the numeracy worksheets we've had home so far (number bonds to five; recognising two-digit numbers). He has been asking about decimals, fractions, negative numbers etc, for example; questions we're dealing with as they come up.
His teacher has noticed he's quite ahead and the current homework is too easy for him, and she's going to try to push him forward and give him more advanced work to see what he's capable of. I'm pleased she's on the case, but I'm also aware that he's one of thirty in a mixed ability class, and that she has plenty else to do.
She has suggested that we do "what we can" at home with him to extend him further, but tbh I'm at a loss. He enjoys spending time on the computer, so I wondered about online sites or games, but not being a teacher I'm not even sure where to start in terms of matching what he does to the curriculum (should I even try?).
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
