They teach these in the prep schools. Some state schools may teach this but not all. You can buy books, called Bond Assessment Papers (try Waterstones), which help.

They are not taught at state primaries. Visit www.elevenplusexams.co.uk
They explain what everything is about.

Lots of books of these available, both Bonds and Letts.

W H Smiths/Waterstone/Amazon all have masses available and they are age related so you start with the age for your child and work your way through as the dc progresses. I don't know a single state school that teaches this though I'm not sure why, really, as I personally think the vr is a very useful skill.

Sell them to your child as puzzles!

Bond do them as books of tests; can easily get them from Amazon.

I got some for DS1 to practice for a 7+ entrance exam and he loves them. I guess it's just puzzles to kids!
