Welcome
to > parents
As I am sure you know, if parent's can get involved in their child's
development of maths, then children's overall understanding and performance
at school, as well as their confidence and enjoyment of the subject,
can increase significantly. However, parents often tell me that they
feel ill informed and distant from their child's learning of maths,
or intimidated by whatever new maths they are being taught in schools
these days. The aim of this section of the website is to put parents'
minds at ease, and hopefully enable you to become more actively involved
with your child's mathematical development.
In notes and examples: key stage 3 and 4,
I have provided a link to a set of notes I have written for pupils
from Year 7 right up to GCSE. I have tried to write the notes in a
slightly different way to the textbooks, hopefully enabling pupils
to gain a deeper understanding and to see that maths isn't so bad
after all.
The other four sections offer up some excellent free resources, ideas
and advice for helping children enjoy studying maths at home, because
the more they enjoy it, the better they will get, I promise.
In the Pupils section of the website
(just click here), I have also offered up
some Top Revision and Exam Tips to hopefully
help your child get through what can often be a painful time, and
in What Use is Maths? I have attempted to
answer the question that I never tire of hearing...
Should you have any comments, suggestions or
feedback, then please feel free to contact me here.
