Have started Home Ed with my 6 year old. A friend advised me to use scottish heinemann maths 3 so I bought the workbooks and the textbook and then realised there is absolutely no guidance for teaching or for how much to cover per week. And I realised that all of that info is contained in the fabulous three hundred quid teaching file that I cannot afford to buy.

What do I do? He is on his third year of primary school as we are in northern Ireland.

Where do I get solid information for teaching? And how do I know how much to cover each week and each day?

Who is telling anyone on Monday anything?

Sorry I thought your original post was about knowing what to do each week or each day.

Did I misunderstand?

We also use math with confidence, I have seen other home ed families use white rose maths if you didn’t want to use an American curriculum or the twinkl planning but that will take more work from you I think.

Can I ask where you managed to get the maths with confidence books in the uk?

Not maths with confidence, but I managed to get RightStart Math from Vinted! Vinted offers very cheap shipping (I paid around £2.5) and cover custom fees between the US and the UK.
I have seen some Math With Confidence books on there!
You can also buy them from Amazon US, they ship to the UK for an extra fee.

I have started using AI based tutors - helps with 1:1 tutoring pretty much. Better than PDFs and videos. And pretty affordable too!
