Does anyone know of a maths equivalent to the literacy matters website? I have found the breakdown of what gets taught for literacy each week/ term for each year group very helpful. Does anyone know of similar lesson plans/ resources website(s)?

I don't Im afraid but would be interested in hearing what the literacy web site is that you are referring to?

mrz · 25/03/2011 15:52

I assume the OP means www.literacymatters.com/
although to be honest it isn't how most teachers work.

www.literacymatters.com

It has lots of weekly planners/ lesson resources, whcih I have found helpful to know what level to pitch at to support my DS.

Nonetheless, I have found it helpful. Do you know of any equivalent maths websites Mrz?

Teachers tend to use the LA support sites to be honest

what a dull site

for maths go for maths games that are based on NC

BBC bitesize maths games are good
mathletics is a great site which maps the NC

Thank you for your opinion, Activate. Hugely appreciated.

Mathletics you pay for: not interested.

I'm aware of the BBC games. The website format I was seeking is for me; not my DS. I wanted to know what level my DS was being taught at (it's been a long time since I was at school and I don't know how basic one has to get), so I know the level of detail/ assistance I need to explain when he gets stuck.

I wasn't looking for judgments; just advice. Significant difference.

Does the National Curriculum website give you anything useful?

Most of the LEA websites have lots of fun stuff
but you could try

The last 3 links show what children need to be able to do at each level
how old is your son?

bodiddly · 25/03/2011 21:11

mrz .. is level 1 for year 1? My ds has just turned 6 and I wondered whether they have to be able to do all of level 1 by the end of year 1 or whether that goes into year 2?

mrz · 26/03/2011 05:35

The stage a child achieves level 1 varies greatly from child to child. Some may reach it while still in reception and others still be working at this level in Y3 or even older but I would expect most 6 year olds to be working at level 1 (so Y1 early Y2) with a few exceptions higher or lower.

I've tried Mathletics - brilliant. Also downloaded Magical Maths onto my HTC Desire - it's 4 games covering KS1 maths and very useful for a quiet school run too.
