(Did that to get more passing traffic!)...constantly, well not constantly obviously, telling me that her YR2 maths work and homework is too easy and that she is doing stuff that she did last year. Background - finished yr1 on a 1a/borderline 2c, has done a lot of work over the summer at her request and I presume has been put on a table catering for likewise children ie. 1a/2c, possibly disregarding the huge jumps I think she made over the summer. She is from what she has told me learning nothing new, and what worries me is that her big sister struggles with maths and I worry that dd2 may be tarred with the same brush IYKWIM. I do not think she is some maths genius BTW but I want her to be actually learning something in her lessons. Advice please.

Should be a parents evening coming up quite soon. Maybe you could discuss it with her teacher then?

Bring it up with her teacher. Not in an accusing way but in a "What do you think?" way. Don't mention the sister though.

Can you raise the concerns you have with your teacher? Is she consistently getting the questions she's set for the 1a/2c table right?

If so, the teacher should be noticing about now that she's working at a higher level and could try some more challenging work.

Parents evening 5 weeks away so want to address it before then.

Molly - will adopt the strategy you suggest ie put the ball in her court.

Dont want to be a PITA but dont want to go on as we are.

You won't be a PITA by asking to discuss her progress with her teacher. Just be tactful about it and you'll be fine. Ask her opinion rather than making demands then take it from there. A good teacher should appreciate an issue like this being highlighted tbh.
