If you're a parent, you need to know how your children are doing in school. In the UK, there are "ready to progress" criteria for mathematics. These are things that children should be comfortable with at the *end* of the school year, signalling they are ready to progress to the next year. The National Centre for Excellent in the Teaching of Mathematics (NCETM) and the DfE have this comprehensive document outlining all of the ready to progress criteria for Key Stages 1 and 2: assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/6140b7008fa… In addition, most schools should publish some kind of curriculum that will show what children will be covering in maths, and in which Terms. I strongly recommend that you look closely at these and assess where your children are. Then, start doing activities with them to push them further forward in areas where they are strong, and to build them up in areas they're not as strong. It's never too late to start doing this, and the Summer Holidays can be a great time for it, though I realise this will depend on people's household and employment situations. But it doesn't have to be complex, long lessons. Little and often is great. I'll be posting some shorts sharing some of the things that I'm doing with my boys.
