Hi G&T mumsnetters. Posting on here because I can't ask anyone in real life without sounding like a complete dickhead. My DSs (just going into Y2 and Y4 this September) are both very good at maths - no idea if g&t or not or what that really means but they tend to get good feedback on it etc.
They have been asking for maths problems to solve over the holidays and I'm a bit at a loss. I'm not a teacher so only have a vague grasp of what's normal. Would anyone be able to recommend maths resources which would stretch them and also be fun?
As an example I tried to teach the Y4 about square and cube numbers today and he got it fairly well so we might do some more. The Y2 knows 2, 5, 10x tables already but what's the next one to teach? They're not geniuses and miles and miles ahead but if they're interested I'm really keen to encourage it!
Thanks!

@TeenDivided I totally see your point about the curriculum but I'm afraid I have no idea what half of your suggestions are myself! I can see I'll have a lot of googling to do - I consider myself fairly intelligent but am definitely an arts type person and dropped formal maths and science learning well over 20 years ago. No idea how I've managed to produce two such maths crazy children!
