The perfect partner for helping your children with their homework - By: one-eyed Jack, 30 Nov 2007
Having met my daughter's maths teacher who showed me this book to be the foundation of her teachings to all the childrenin Year 3 (7/8 year olds) I knew that this, together with Books 1,2,3,5 & 6, would be the ideal support for homework assistance. Until I bought this from Amazon, I had no guidelines at all & didn't know if the arithmetic I was 'teaching' at home was too hard, too easy or just plain useless. Now with this book I have the perfect assistant, because I know that the specific topics covered & the level of difficulty is exactly matched to what my daughter is studying at school, so it's an excellent revisionary tool, & it's even enjoyable too! Strongly recommended, I have no doubt that with regular use of this book at home my daughter, & her younger sister when her time comes, will have a much better chance of making the necessary gradein Year 6 & go on to our local grammar school. Sounds a bit over-the-top, butin its way, this little book can actually change the course of your children's lives - because the difference between our local grammar school & the comprehensive school is obvious for all to see. Getting a good grade at Arithmetic at age 11 is a fundamental requirement to being selected for a school offering better standards of education &in turn better opportunitiesin the future. I bought Books 1 through to 6 & I'm pleased I did.
