Hi RM2016,
I've had a pretty rubbish day tbh and i've had some tears over feeling overwhelmed that i've let her down... i'm her mum, i should have noticed her struggling! You're so right, back to basics it is :-) back where the foundations are built! We've never compared her to DS, but she has noticed herself that he finds maths very simple and it seems to put her in the mindset of not even bothering to try... so we're going to put them in different areas to learn (we initially had hoped they might have found it more fun to learn together but we now see it's having a negative effect on DD). Oooh I like the idea of us doing the tables together alternating the numbers ... I might have to brush up on my skills Thanks again Dunx x

Do you have a Twinkl account? There are so many resources on there and lesson plans too. I don’t think it’s a bad idea to go back to the basics if you want to improve her confidence.
BBC Bitesize has some games which might help her engage more. They’re all listed by English Key Stages, so look for KS2. My pre school daughter has been doing the KS1 maths game so I would expect it to be far too simple. It might be fun for her to see what she *can* do though |

Yes we have a Twinkl account but I think I may have printed out a lot of P6 instead of P5 work (I wasn't sure about the English key stages - so thanks for the heads up!)
I'm going to go back to basics tonight and let her get confidence built in that then hopefully through the fantastic resources all the fantastic dibbers have suggested we'll find a way forward. Thanks dunx x

After reading in this thread about all the resources available to help kids with maths, it’s obvious that many youngsters need extra support with the subject. It’s such an exact subject - the answer is always either right or wrong. Quite a concept for children to grasp in some respects.
Maths has changed so much since I did my O Level in 1971 that I’m tempted to look at the websites mentioned above for my own benefit. |

aw lovey, don't beat yourself up at all. She's a wee gem with her own strengths which are evident. Dyl is honestly not got his tables either, we are working on it now but he does loads of finger counting etc. We are doing the game where you (maybe just you and big W so she doesnt feel like shes not managing and little W is) count up from one, and each time you get to a station of the table you're working on, you don't say the number, you make a silly sound. Dyl will do anything to make farty noises so he loves it. Paige wasn't great at remembering them either and Percy Parker worked for her, maybe a bit old now but check youtube?

What maths scheme do they use in school?
Tee jay? Scottish Heinaman? Twinkl maths is quite complicated don’t get hung up if she can’t do most of it. In primary we focus a lot on mental maths, but when it comes to exams they can always write down a sum. If she has autism rote learning could be really hard. Teach a technique to remember rather than trying to remember |
