Hello. After a long illness my DD14, Y9, was dropped from her top set in Maths at her school as she didn't perform on the level her school wanted in exams.
Her school after half term has started KS4/GCSE maths and her teacher mentioned that the level they teach on her current set, a grade 5 would be the best they can aim for. I know she can do better as she had aced her 11+ and done very well after that until the illness.
I'm looking what to do to support as her school seem to have put her in a box with no indication of upward mobility between teaching sets if she improves over time.
While I studied here, (funnily enough I have a PhD in Engineering Maths from Imperial College) I did my secondary education overseas so I'm not familiar with the system here.
I'm looking for resources, paid or free, so I could help her improve. And while, I have a list of the curriculum I don't know where to go to find what each subject includes. Her school don't seem that interested tbh.
I did some search but they are many websites and not sure of their quality so any books, websites, advice or even teaching tools for me would be very much appreciated.
Thank you.
