What to expect

While courses are simple to use, we do ask that parents follow a few guidelines. It's important to establish a routine of three, 25-minute sessions per week to cover one lesson. Working in small blocks helps to engage and retain interest, while keeping the learning process fun and interesting for your child. The courses cover Key Stage 2, and a full maths club consists of 142 screened maths lessons all linked to National Numeracy Strategy key objectives, plus additional resources. These include "Beat the Teacher" exercises, games, and online revision and main lesson exercises. Children work at their own pace to suit the needs of the family.

Parents have the most important role of providing ecouragement. It may also be neccessary for parents to purchase some small learning materials for your child to work with whilst working through the lessons and these will be listed in the lesson overview, which we recommend that you read through prior to starting each lesson.
