Maths level in year 3

[Strictlyison]

Not boasting but genuinely looking for opinions of other parents with children G&T in maths. DS just did some assessments and has been judged to be 5c in maths, and he is in year 3. He is 'g&t' according to the school and so far they have been good at providing extension work, extra stimulation for him and we have been generally happy with the teaching. He has never received private tuition, and we do some work with him at home but nothing pushy, maybe about 15 minutes extra maths a day. His understanding of complex maths concepts is truly natural. I don't know who he gets that from- not me!!

So what now? What can we expect the school to do in year 4 and 5? Should we provide more at home? We've been thinking of sending to local comp high school, but should we start thinking about private/grammar? He is also good in all subjects.

I agree with sideways stretching idea. As if you keep learning advanced math, there will be a point that DC have finished all the math in primary school or secondary school, but DC can't go to University in a young age, as there are other things for the DC to learn. I remember DS1 felt quite boring for y6&y7.

There are kind of math questions whick is harder , need a bit of twist. I used some math paper with stars name on the paper for DS1. Some people here may know. I will post it here if I find it as I used a while ago with DS1. Nrich suppose to be good as well.

Also , have you tried some other activities with him, like Chess, musical instrument?
