Year 6 extra learning - especially Maths

12 replies

BarelyCoping123 · 06/01/2024 12:10

Hi I'm not sure if I'm posting in the right place, apologies if not...
My situation is that my DD Year 6 is really not being provided with enough work from school (school has changed to a "no homework" policy argh), and there has been no catch-up from when the kids missed so much school during lockdown (our school sent zero lessons, so it was just us winging it with homeschooling).

So we want to boost her learning as much as possible before she starts Year 7 secondary, especially in Maths. Unfortunately we can't afford tutoring, but I have time to spend with her. Can anyone recommend any particular resources I could use? I know about Oak, Twinkl, Khan. Or are there any workbooks anyone would recommend? Ideally i need something quite structured! Thank you in advance for any thoughts or suggestions!

No homework? Why??

Dr frost maths is good.

You could also try the bond 11+ workbooks - they have lots of questions for your child to do and answers at the back. They come in 8-9, 9-10 etc.

Bear in lmind the 11+ is harder than sats.

The Schofield and sims mental arithmetic series is also good but I don't think it has answers.

My dd used the CPG books.

"Teacher workload" was the reason given.

Yes these are good

BarelyCoping123 · 06/01/2024 13:27

These all look good, thank you!
I think what I really need for Maths are resources (books?) that explain to the child how to do the operations/problems.

That’s exactly what the CGP books do.

Ah sorry - then that is exactly what I'm looking for! Thanks everyone!

I'm a teacher and tutor. I use the CGP books with my dd. Check amazon there's lots of different ones.
