11 Plus Tuition: Mathematics
-
Fluency
Numerical fluency lies at the heart of success in Maths. To succeed at the 11 Plus, your child will need strong foundations - this means knowing number facts such as their times tables and number bonds by heart (also known as ‘automaticity’). We support this in Years 3 and 4 with fun, repeated in-lesson games, as well as through our homework schedule.
-
Reasoning
Research has shown that it’s not enough for children to simply learn multiplication facts by rote - they need to understand why methods and patterns work. This aids deep understanding that lasts. We support this by teaching and modelling accurate mathematical reasoning, then ensuring pupils have regular opportunities to practice it.
-
Problem Solving
Solving problems is key to deep understanding of maths concepts - and vital for the 11 Plus, where pupils are faced with increasingly complex problems. We weave problem solving throughout our initial teachings of topics and children’s weekly homework, plus we ensure they learn how to solve problems encompassing multiple mathematical areas.
