8-10 years of age math learning objectives & standards:.

• The topics and skills in this age bracket are obviously more compact that the previous age brackets’. General topics in this cluster include operations of decimals , unlike fractions , proper and improper fractions , multiplication and division of multi-digit numbers,  area and perimeter of polygons, angle measurement, conversions of like units, and basic geometric terms. 
• The learners in this level broaden their understanding of decimals. Together with the grasped concepts from the previous age bracket, learners will deepen their knowledge of basic concepts of decimals. They will use it in order to compare decimals using the different inequality symbols ; ordering decimals that can be used to create number lines; convert fractions to decimals and vice versa; write decimals in expanded and standard forms; add, subtract, and round decimals; and solve word problems involving decimals. 
• They attain mastery of the four basic fundamental math operations involving multi-digit whole numbers . This will help them to discover the world of factors and multiples of numbers. The learned skills of basic operations should also be used to solve real-life situations like determining the total bill after a meal, the total price of goods in the supermarket, the change after a $100 bill is handed out to the cashier, and to know how much is the price of a good per piece given in a bundle. 
• With the continuation of deepening their understanding of fractions, learners will put emphasis not only with like fractions but also unlike fractions (fractions with different denominators). Here, they will acquire the needed skills by differentiating and illustrating proper and improper fractions, adding and subtracting proper and improper fractions, comparing like and unlike fractions, adding and subtracting these kinds of fractions, simplifying fractions , ordering fractions to create line graphs and line plots with fractional units, and solve average to challenging word problems involving fractions.
• This age bracket also has a wide range of geometric topics. They will delve into the concepts and strategies of computing for the perimeter and area of different types of polygons given its identified dimensions. They will also experience deriving the dimensions from the given area. In the latter part, they will deal with various word problems where area and perimeter can be used to arrive with the final and correct answer. 
• Aside from perimeter and area, learners will also investigate the meaning and application of points, lines, and planes. Here, they will build their own understanding of the foundation of all theorems, corollaries, axioms, and definitions of other geometric principles. In addition, they will initially understand what an angle is, its different types based on their angle measurement, and how it is useful in daily lives. They will have an opportunity to distinguish the different types of quadrilaterals by their renowned properties and will classify them based on their hierarchy. At the end, they will reinforce their knowledge of shape transformations and symmetrical shapes by dealing with more illustrative exercises and word problems. 
• Just like the previous stages, learners in this age bracket will have an opportunity to strengthen and deepen their understanding of measurements by converting one unit to another. But this time, examples and exercises are limited to like units only. They will be asked to express a given measurement to a larger or smaller unit.

The Top 10 Free Maths Homework Help Sites and Apps For Primary School Children And Their Parents! (UK)

Ellie Williams

Finding the best free maths homework help sites online for your child can be tricky as a parent. Here we review the 10 top UK maths homework websites and apps that are free, packed full of homework help for primary school children – and may even teach parents a thing or two along the way! 

We’ve all been there.

It’s 7pm on a Sunday night and you are struggling to persuade the kids to get their maths homework done, take a bath and get their uniform ready for the morning.

Regrettably, we can’t help with the last two battles on that particular list, but if it’s anything to do with primary school maths or maths homework you need help with, rest assured we’ve got you covered. Every week thousands of 6 to 12 year olds are improving their maths skills, furthering their knowledge, and learning to love the subject with their personal tutor on our KS2 Maths Intervention Programmes. We live and breathe the subject, talking to parents and teachers about nothing other than maths every day!

So it’s not surprising that parents often ask us for recommendations for cheap or ideally free maths homework help online.

This blog post is the list we now give out when asked!

How we compiled our list of maths websites and apps

To compile it we specifically looked at all the online maths programmes, websites and free maths apps that are focused on the national curriculum. This is because we believe it’s a lot easier for UK parents and kids to find their way around sites that refer to Year 3 or KS2 then Fourth Grade or other public examinations.

We also asked parents for their recommendations and of course used our network of expert teachers to give us any additional secret teacher tips on the top free maths websites and apps that they recommend to parents to help with homework. (Number 8 is most definitely a big hit with teachers! As is our bonus entry in at number 11.)

Most of these home learning sites are free or so cheap as to be almost free, and we guarantee that the methods used here will be up to date with national curriculum, in line with most schools’ moves towards a maths mastery approach to teaching, and a great way to make sure you’re able to provide your 6 year old or your 12 year old with the specific help their maths homework might require. 

FREE KS2 Maths Games Printable Resources

Printable resources to be used with our 26 of the best fun maths games to use at school or at home blog activities.

Here is our list of the top ten free maths homework websites and apps suitable for children and parents in the UK (ie the sites support the national curriculum):

• Third Space Learning Maths Hub (resources from maths tuition experts)
• BBC Bitesize – KS2 Maths (everything)
• Primary Games Arena (games)
• Hit the Button (times tables and number bonds)
• Math is Fun (worksheets)
• Primary Resources (oldie but a goodie!)
• NRich (problem solving and challenge questions)
• TT Rockstars (competitive times tables)
• Maths Zone (portal to lots of maths games and quizzes)
• Ashcott Primary School (videos from pupils for parents)

Read on for more detail on which free maths website is good for maths games, which worksheets, and which will challenge children of any ability to think deeply, reason and problem solve.

1. Third Space Learning’s Online Maths Hub – thousands of maths resources for teachers and parents

The Third Space Maths Hub contains thousands of downloadable home learning resources and videos , many of which are free. Lots of free maths worksheets practice SATs papers, mental maths activities and even short maths in minutes videos that break down for non-specialists like parents and support staff at school, how to help children with maths.

2. BBC Bitesize – maths homework help online for children of all ages

What’s the website about?

BBC Bitesize is the gold standard when it comes to getting help for your child with their maths homework, and it’s good for parents who are struggling with the new curriculum being used in schools too! It’s not just getting to grips with whether your child is in Key Stage 2 or Key Stage 1 – but what about the methods now used? Chunking anyone? 

The first incarnation of the Bitesize website was launched back in 1998, and over the last 20 years the BBC has built up a sterling reputation amongst teachers, parents and children alike as the place to go for free homework help online.

Handy to know

All topics on the Bitesize website are organised by year group and curriculum, so you’ll be secure in the knowledge that your child will be working at the right level. Short videos make the learning enjoyable and accessible, and the sheer amount of information on offer on this website should make it the first stop for maths homework help!

Take a look at the BBC Bitesize website here.

3. Primary Games Arena – learn maths through games online!

At Third Space Learning, we believe that children learn best when they’re engaged and empowered by learning, and Primary Games Arena delivers this with a huge helping of fun too.

It is a free website that encourages children to play online maths games linked to their homework.

What’s more, children can play against other students. Forget Fortnite, these games will sharpen their maths skills without them even noticing!

Primary Games Arena breaks down the games on the site by both age (school year group) and by topic. This gives you as a parent the ability to pair up the maths game with whatever topic your child is learning in school, forming a fantastic learning partnership. This may seem like a unique way to get maths help online, but it certainly works!

Head over to Primary Maths Arena by clicking here .

4. Hit the Button – excellent website and app to practise times tables and number bonds homework

Perfect for helping your kids get their heads round the basics in an engaging way, Hit the Button is an interactive maths game with quickfire questions on:

• Number bonds
• Times tables
• Doubling and halving
• Division facts
• Square numbers

The games work against the clock so are great for developing your child’s mental maths skills at primary school.

Another reason we like this website is that in addition to the fun and interactive nature of the maths games, it also has a dedicated section on parental tips and tricks for the best ways to support your child throughout their learning.

Hit the Button can be found here.

5. Math is Fun – A simple but very useful free maths homework help website

Math or maths? Don’t be put off by the US spelling, as this site will reinforce learning for the UK curriculum in a lively and engaging way.

It’s topic based rather than year based, but it is an excellent site if your child needs to revise a particular topic because each one is written in a clear and precise style.

As well as being a great place for your child to get free maths homework help online, Math is Fun also gives you the chance to see how well your child has digested the material they have learned through a number of questions on each topic.

There’s also a section of the site dedicated to downloadable worksheets, and we love this too! 

Check out the Math is Fun site here !

6. Primary Resources – Everything you’ll need for maths homework help all in one place

We love Primary Resources because its no-nonsense maths worksheets are perfect for free maths homework help. It’s a long standing favourite website among teachers but there’s no reason why parents can’t use the exercises and maths practice activities too.

Worksheets are sorted by topics and level, so you can be confident that whatever topic from the primary maths national curriculum for KS1 or KS2 your child practises with you in the evening can be applied in the classroom the next day.

Check out the Primary Resources site .

7. NRICH – When the maths homework requires some support on problem solving! 

NRICH is a free maths site born from a Cambridge Maths Project to encourages children to think like mathematicians, become ‘good thinkers’ and generally develop curiosity about the world around them. It’s 

It was originally founded by a group of teachers and provides free maths activities for all ages and abilities – secondary as well as primary. There’s a particular focus on problem solving and reasoning, key principles of the new national curriculum for KS1 and KS2. The step-by-step explanations are perfect for anyone who is pursuing that elusive ‘I get it!’ moment.

NRICH is a great site for challenging high achievers. Thanks to the breadth of topics and tasks on there, you will be able to really challenge your child whilst ensuring that they can get the right level of maths help online.

The NRICH website can be found here.

8. Times Tables Rockstars – so cheap it’s free homework help website and app to support learning times tables and multiplication

One of our favourites, and although it’s not strictly free, it’s only £6 per year for family membership. Times tables are the absolute bedrock of maths learning; mastering them can have a direct impact on how well kids get to grips with the more complex maths further up the curriculum, so it’s worth nailing them early on.

Moreoever, from 2020 all Year 4 pupils will be required to sit a short Multiplication and Times Tables Test/Check as part of the new government assessment regime. Worth getting a head start now!

In Times Tables Rockstars, you earn rewards through mastery which can be ‘spent’ buying accessories for your online avatar. This is often the most popular part, of the whole process!

Times Tables Rock Stars can be found here.

9. Maths Zone – The ultimate site for free maths homework help with links to lots of other websites 

Maths Zone describes itself as ‘cool learning games’, and it’s just that.

Need some help with frustrating fractions homework? There’s a free maths game for that on Maths Zone.

Place value proving problematic? There’s a free maths app for that too….

Absolutely jam-packed with fun ways to learn more about maths, this site is ideal for children that like task-based learning and are motivated by tech, as the games are fast paced and full of action.

Each game starts with a short video to show how it’s played, so this should result in fewer calls of “Mum/Dad, I don’t know how to do it!” coming from the living room.

Maths Zone and all of its amazing games can be found here.

Child Struggling with Math? 12 Signs and 7 Ways to Help

Written by Jordan Nisbet

• Common signs among children struggling with math
• How to help your child struggling with math

Many parents around the world -- like yourself -- have a child struggling with math . Without proper resources or a solid support system, this reality can be daunting.

But, don’t worry because you’re not alone! One of the most common complaints among children who dislike math is it’s too difficult or that they’re not smart enough. Sadly, this belief is one that can severely impact any child’s success in mathematics.

Parents often remark the causes and symptoms can vary from child to child, which is why we’ll outline and help you understand:

• How parents and teachers can help a child struggling with math

Let's start helping your child succeed, instead of struggle, with math. 👇

3 Main causes of a child struggling with math

Math can be hard because it’s a cumulative subject — it builds upon itself year after year. This is why so many parents worry when their kids appear to get disengaged with or disconnected from math.

It’s vital for parents to know this doesn’t necessarily mean their child lacks intelligence or drive. Believe it or not, kids who have trouble understanding math are often putting in a great deal of effort — mentally and physically.

So, what exactly causes a child to struggle with math? Research has narrowed the answer down to three things:

Lacking building blocks

As mentioned earlier, math is cumulative, so learning and understanding the basics is a must. If a child falls behind in one area due to a lack of understanding, moving on to more advanced topics will remain a challenge.

For example, if a child doesn’t yet understand the foundational knowledge of addition, it will be very difficult for them to grasp the concept of multiplication .

In 2015, the University of Akron published a study called “The Importance of a Strong Mathematical Foundation”. Researchers tested 39 ninth and tenth graders on fractions, ratios, and proportions. Participants had to complete questions ranging from third to seventh grade.

Only seven participants were able to pass the assessment. Seeing these results, study author Jasmine Wriston wrote:

[Students] were simply being taught mathematics concepts correlating to their current grade level and not based on the current mathematical knowledge they brought to class. Due to this, students were not mastering each grade level standard before continuing onto higher level instruction. This lack of mastery creates huge gaps in student understanding, hindering students from making the necessary content connections and gaining conceptual understanding.

Math anxiety

In the midst of hardship, it’s easy to feel as though we’re the only ones going through a certain problem. For parents of a child struggling with math, it’s no different. And while alarming, we hope parents everywhere find comfort in knowing their child is not the only one who may experience anxiety when it comes to math.

A feeling of tension and anxiety that interferes with the manipulation of numbers and the solving of mathematical problems in a wide variety of ordinary life and academic situations.

In fact, our guide to overcoming math anxiety highlights that around 93% of adult Americans experience math anxiety to varying degrees while 17% of Americans overall suffer from high levels of math anxiety.

Symptoms of math anxiety can include:

• Lack of response
• Low achievement
• Negative self-talk
• Feeling of permanency
• Intense emotional reactions
• Physiological effects like nervousness, clammy hands, increased heart rate, upset stomach and lightheadedness

And, for this reason, children can struggle with math from childhood all the way into adulthood.

Learning difficulties

There are numerous mathematics learning disabilities, including one of the more common ones: dyscalculia . Other names for it include math or number dyslexia .

According to Dr. Daniel Ansari , a professor in developmental cognitive neuroscience at Canada’s Western University, children with dyscalculia:

• Often struggle with working memory
• Have trouble remembering math facts
• May understand the logic behind math facts, but not how or when to apply their knowledge to solve problems
• May not understand quantities or concepts like biggest versus smallest, or the difference between the word  five  and numeral  5

Researchers aren’t entirely sure what causes dyscalculia but suspect it’s linked to the brain’s structure and function. Because there can be various factors involved — like one’s development, environment, genetic makeup or injury — how the symptoms show will likely vary as no two children are the same.

12 Signs of children struggling with math

1. expresses negative comments about math.

It can be tough to spot a child struggling with math. One of the more visible signs lies in what they say about the subject.

When your child says things like “I hate math” or “I’m not good at math,” and tries to avoid math-related activities, it’s usually a sign that they are struggling with the subject.

2. Gets anxious around math

Be it during a class, a test or working on a homework assignment, your child grows increasingly anxious when it’s time to do math.

Even though they may understand the concepts, math anxiety results in them forgetting what they’ve learned or how to apply them when the time comes.

3.  Grades that are lower in math but higher in other subjects

Whether you hear it from a teacher or see it on their report card, your child performs well in every subject — except math.

Lower math grades may lead them to focus on subjects they’re already succeeding in, and spend little time practicing or studying math.

4. Trouble connecting math families

As students learn more math facts, they should begin to see the relationship between certain numbers and equations.

Your child may be struggling with math if they do not see the connection between, for example, 2+3=5 and 5-3=2 .

5. Difficulty managing time

Time management is difficult for many people, including adults, so this sign can seem somewhat vague. Pay attention to see if your child has any trouble judging increments of time, adhering to set schedules, or reading clocks — analog or digital.

6. Trouble applying math concepts to real-world problems

Your child may grasp math concepts, but have a hard time seeing how they apply to things outside of the classroom. For example:

• Finding out how many days remain until their birthday
• Calculating the cost of something and how much change they should get back
• Determining how much of a certain ingredient to use when helping you prepare food

P.S. Did you know that Prodigy Math features over 50,000 teacher-made questions that include real-world problems?

7. Mental math difficulty

While it can be helpful in early years, working out math problems using fingers to count could be a sign your child is struggling with math.

This is because as children get older, they’ll encounter bigger numbers and more advanced equations that require mental math practices — something that finger counting can discourage.

8. Doesn’t try to find alternative approaches to problems

The moment a roadblock arises when tackling a math problem, your child may get discouraged and move on before thinking about — or trying — another potential solution.

9. Trouble with basic math concepts and fact recall

Memory could have a significant impact on thinking with numbers. Despite having been taught foundational math concepts and facts in the past, your child has trouble remembering and applying them appropriately.

10. Trouble learning advanced math concepts and facts

Due to mathematics’ cumulative nature, making connections between prior and new lessons is key.

Having difficulty when building upon earlier math concepts will limit a child’s ability to anchor new math skills in a meaningful, long-lasting way.

11. Difficulty paying attention

Every child learns differently — some can sit down at a desk and complete certain tasks, while others benefit from a more active, hands-on output.

If your child gets fidgety, loses their place in a problem, or seems mentally tired when doing math, they may be struggling with (the particular way they’re doing) math.

12. Not hitting milestones

Generally, children hit certain math milestones around the same age — but sometimes, they have trouble developing these skills at the same rate and fall behind.

Students in 1st and 2nd grade, for example, may struggle as they move on from counting by ones to twos, fives, and tens, while others pick it up with ease.

How to help a child struggling with math (in 7 ways)

As a parent, one of your biggest goals is to help your child succeed. It’s important to remember, however, that the first step to solving a problem is identifying it.

Having awareness of the signs above will help you identify any problems your child may be experiencing with math.

And to take it a step further, we’ve outlined seven tips you can use at home to help transform math into a subject your child loves instead of fears!

Make math fun

For some children, all it takes is a change in perspective to transform math from something feared into something loved. A traditional pen-and-paper approach won’t always work and that’s when you need to get creative.

Tip: Consider reintroducing math to your child through a game-based lens. This can take on many forms like word problems , math books , math apps and more.

Or, try Prodigy Math — the engaging, curriculum-aligned math app used by over 100 million students and teachers. In-game educational content is free and accessible at home or in class.

🌟 Plus, there are Membership plans available to maximize math practice and help you support your child's learning journey with ease. Becoming a member will unlock extra in-game rewards for your child and give you access to new parent features like Goals and Rewards, Practice Areas and Practice Sheets.

Find daily applications

Math is all around us and exists in our everyday lives, but do your children know that? Incorporating math into their day-to-day routine can help them understand — and appreciate — its relevance.

So, what are you waiting for? Start learning by doing!

Tip: Involve your child when it comes to activities like shopping, cooking, or gardening! Each of these real world applications involve numbers, facts, and concepts which can help solidify knowledge and understanding, as well as enjoyment in math.

Practice with your child daily

On the surface, this tip may seem as simple as sitting beside your child while they do homework and ensuring they complete it. But, involvement in your child’s education has many benefits.

According to author and developmental psychologist Rebecca Fraser-Thill, parental involvement fosters academic achievement, improves social skills, and can increase self-esteem.

Tip: Set aside time to practice math for as little as 10 minutes each night. This will help reinforce what they’re learning in class and keep foundational concepts front-of-mind as teachers introduce them to more advanced concepts in class. Even if your child doesn’t have any math homework, try our free, colorful and printable worksheets:

• 20 Telling Time Worksheets
• 20 Addition Worksheets
• 20 Long Division Worksheets
• 20 Multiplication Worksheets
• 19 Order of Operations Worksheets

Identify problem areas

If you can identify them yourself, amazing! If not, get in touch with your child’s teacher for a more intimate and accurate idea of how you can help increase your child’s ability to succeed.

Tip: Working with your child’s teacher, come up with an at-home action plan. This is also an excellent opportunity to share the types of learning that works best for your child at home — something their teacher may not know.

Adopt a positive attitude

While children can have negative attitudes toward math, your attitude toward the subject may need to change first. A 2017 study in School Science and Mathematics found that parents’ attitude toward mathematics can significantly predict students’ attitudes toward mathematics.

Most of the time, the negative attitude is simply because the students have told themselves they cannot do mathematics; they are never going to use it anyways; and so forth. School-based factors are compounded when they are reinforced at home, such as parents’ negative attitudes toward mathematics.

Tip: Even if you find math tricky, try your best to maintain a positive mindset about it around your child. Encourage your child when they get stuck and attempt to work through the problem together until you arrive at a solution! By practicing this, parents can become a positive influence on their child’s attitude toward math. As a result, this can increase children’s overall achievement and interest in math well into adulthood.

Get a tutor

Some parents have been out of school for a long time and are unfamiliar with certain teaching strategies. Others simply don’t feel comfortable being the “teacher” at home. This is why some parents consider going the online tutoring route.

Math Geek Mama outlines some helpful ways to find a math tutor for your child!

• Word of mouth from friends or family
• Check library or community centre bulletin boards
• Ask your child’s teacher or school counselor
• Find a local or online tutor using websites

Tip: A great way to make tutoring go further is to set learning goals and rewards with your child. If your child has a Prodigy Math Membership, you can set learning goals for them to achieve in our fun, engaging math game. When they successfully complete a goal, they'll receive in-game reward of your choice!

Look into potential learning disabilities

If your child does have a learning disability, the sooner you seek help the better!

It can be challenging to address and diagnose but, in the long run, receiving prompt and appropriate support can help ensure the best educational journey possible for your child.

Tip: If you haven’t already been contacted, connect with your child’s teacher or school administrator(s) to discuss how they can help. As learning disabilities tend to be identified in school, they may use a process called response to intervention to help pinpoint whether or not a child has a learning disability.

Final thoughts: Is your child struggling with math?

Struggling with math can make children feel like they’re not smart and affect their self-esteem. However, this is a common struggle.

What’s more, there are practical ways to help as you can see!One of the greatest things you can do today is to let them know that everyone struggles — even you — and that everyone also has strengths!

Share a personal example of a time you struggled with math and, if possible, how you overcame it. Then, try incorporating some of the helpful tips listed above.

Math may be a struggle, but going on this journey together will help increase your child’s confidence and motivate them to keep trying!

You want your child to succeed in math. We can help.

Can YOU solve this maths question meant for a 10-year-old? Sky News star Anna Botting shares another head-scratcher from daughter's school homework

By Oliver Price For Mailonline

Published: 10:32 BST, 11 January 2023 | Updated: 16:08 BST, 11 January 2023

View comments

Sky News presenter Anna Botting has been 'stumped' by another of her daughter's maths homework questions.

Reaching out to her Twitter 32,000 followers, the Oxford-educated host asked for help with the latest head-scratcher brought home by her 10-year-old.

In response to Rishi Sunak 's pledge to make maths compulsory for every student up to the age of 18, adults have been sharing children's maths quizzes online and Ms Botting shared another last week after the PM made the announcement .

The maths homework question that Sky News' Anna Botting needed help to solve

Sky News presenter Anna Botting reached out for help on Twitter with her 10-year-old daughter's maths homework which left her 'stumped'

So MailOnline asks, can you solve a 10-year-old's maths homework?

The maths question clearly kept Sky News at 10 presenter Ms Botting up all night as she pleaded for help on Twitter at 3.15am this morning.

'Stumped on another one… (they've not yet been taught algebra)… #mathshelp,' she tweeted.

What is the question?

There are 5 times as may pens in box A than box B.

Tom moves 76 pens from box A to box B.

Both boxes now have the same number of pens.

How many pens are in box A now?

What is the internet saying?

Not long after the post Twitter user @jleuchtman posted that he though the answer was 95. A few minutes later he posted his second guess of 76.

Both his answers were incorrect.

A pilot, who goes on Twitter as 'plane driver plane talker', didn't even try to answer the question, writing: 'I fly planes for a job, and this hurts.'

Another Twitter user Ivan Rai posted that he thought the answer was 95. Also incorrect.

But TV director Jonathan Glazier posted a proof showing the correct answer - 114.

What is the answer and how do you work it out?

One way to work out the answer is to turn the question into simultaneous algebra equations.

In the equations use a  to be the initial number of pens in box A and b  to be in the initial number of pens in box B.

As there are five times as many pens in box A than B and when you take 76 pens out of box A and put them in box B they are equal, to get the two equations.

•  a - 76 = b + 76

From here you add 76 to both sides of the equation on the right, so that both equations equal a ,which results in:

• a = b + 152

As both equations now equal a , you can then merge the equations to:

• 5 x b = b + 152

As 5 x b  is really just b + b + b + b + b  you can take away one b  from both sides:

• 4 x b = 152

If you then divide 152 by four you get the value of b :

• b = 152 / 4

As the number of pens in both boxes is just b (the initial number in box B) plus 76, we can easily work this out.

• 38 + 76 = 114

The answer is 114 pens in both boxes, but if you want to be extra sure you can also work out a , and therefore what that number is when you take out 76 pens.

• 190 - 76 = 14

'Mrs H' on Twitter came up with an ingenious alternative way to solve the problem

But if algebra is not your strong suit, Twitter user 'Mrs H' figured out an ingenious way to model the problem using a graph.

She drew box A as five equal squares and box B as one square which has two squares from box A with 76 pens in total between them transferred over.

Therefore boxes A and B both have three equal squares representing a number of pens.

As two of the squares are 76 pens, she figured out that one square is worth:

• 76 / 2 = 38

As both boxes now have three squares and she knows one is worth 38, she multiplied 38 by 3.

• 38 x 3 = 114

Therefore, boxes A and B both now have 114 pens each.

Rishi Sunak's 'big idea' of making maths compulsory to the age of 18 was mocked last week as a 'dead cat' to distract from the NHS crisis and winter of discontent

It comes after Mr Sunak's 'big idea' of making maths compulsory to the age of 18 was mocked last week as a 'dead cat' to distract from the NHS crisis and winter of discontent.

In his first major speech as PM on January 4, Mr Sunak promised to equip children for the 'jobs of the future' by combating high rates of innumeracy in the UK.

Young people will be forced to take 'some form' of maths delivered either through new courses or existing qualifications such as A-levels, T-levels and Core Maths. For most the drive is likely to involve practical skills rather than algebra.

But Opposition parties dismissed the initiative as 'empty' - while Tories urged Mr Sunak to focus on tackling illegal immigration instead.

Nigel Farage swiped that 'quadratic equations' would not help fix 'broken Britain'.

Nigel Farage swiped that 'quadratic equations' would not help fix 'broken Britain'

Former Cabinet minister John Redwood urged Mr Sunak to focus on tackling illegal immigration and the Channel crisis 

Around eight million adults in England have numeracy skills expected of primary school children, according to Government figures.

Currently only around half of 16 to 19 year-olds study maths in some form. The problem is particularly acute for disadvantaged pupils, 60 per cent of whom do not have basic maths skills at age 16.

Shadow education secretary Bridget Phillipson said the Prime Minister 'needs to show his working', as 'he cannot deliver this reheated, empty pledge without more maths teachers'.

She added: 'Yet the Government has missed their target for new maths teachers year after year, with existing teachers leaving in their droves.'

A Labour source said: 'In their desperation to ensure Sunak's speech doesn't happen after Keir's, No 10 have revealed they have nothing to offer the country except… double maths.

'As the health service falls to pieces after 12 years of Tory rule, criminals terrorise the streets, and working people worry how their wages will last the month, the country is entitled to ask: is this it?'

Former Cabinet minister John Redwood tweeted: 'As the Prime Minister turns his attention to maths teaching he should not forget his choice as most pressing priority was to stop illegal migration.

'Parliament needs to legislate urgently on small boats and public services.'

Mr Farage also waded in, saying: 'So Rishi Sunak's big idea to save the nation is maths until the age of 18! How will quadratic equations help to solve broken Britain?'

What’s the Right Amount of Homework?

Decades of research show that homework has some benefits, especially for students in middle and high school—but there are risks to assigning too much.

Many teachers and parents believe that homework helps students build study skills and review concepts learned in class. Others see homework as disruptive and unnecessary, leading to burnout and turning kids off to school. Decades of research show that the issue is more nuanced and complex than most people think: Homework is beneficial, but only to a degree. Students in high school gain the most, while younger kids benefit much less.

The National PTA and the National Education Association support the “ 10-minute homework guideline ”—a nightly 10 minutes of homework per grade level. But many teachers and parents are quick to point out that what matters is the quality of the homework assigned and how well it meets students’ needs, not the amount of time spent on it.

The guideline doesn’t account for students who may need to spend more—or less—time on assignments. In class, teachers can make adjustments to support struggling students, but at home, an assignment that takes one student 30 minutes to complete may take another twice as much time—often for reasons beyond their control. And homework can widen the achievement gap, putting students from low-income households and students with learning disabilities at a disadvantage.

However, the 10-minute guideline is useful in setting a limit: When kids spend too much time on homework, there are real consequences to consider.

Small Benefits for Elementary Students

As young children begin school, the focus should be on cultivating a love of learning, and assigning too much homework can undermine that goal. And young students often don’t have the study skills to benefit fully from homework, so it may be a poor use of time (Cooper, 1989 ; Cooper et al., 2006 ; Marzano & Pickering, 2007 ). A more effective activity may be nightly reading, especially if parents are involved. The benefits of reading are clear: If students aren’t proficient readers by the end of third grade, they’re less likely to succeed academically and graduate from high school (Fiester, 2013 ).

For second-grade teacher Jacqueline Fiorentino, the minor benefits of homework did not outweigh the potential drawback of turning young children against school at an early age, so she experimented with dropping mandatory homework. “Something surprising happened: They started doing more work at home,” Fiorentino writes . “This inspiring group of 8-year-olds used their newfound free time to explore subjects and topics of interest to them.” She encouraged her students to read at home and offered optional homework to extend classroom lessons and help them review material.

Moderate Benefits for Middle School Students

As students mature and develop the study skills necessary to delve deeply into a topic—and to retain what they learn—they also benefit more from homework. Nightly assignments can help prepare them for scholarly work, and research shows that homework can have moderate benefits for middle school students (Cooper et al., 2006 ). Recent research also shows that online math homework, which can be designed to adapt to students’ levels of understanding, can significantly boost test scores (Roschelle et al., 2016 ).

There are risks to assigning too much, however: A 2015 study found that when middle school students were assigned more than 90 to 100 minutes of daily homework, their math and science test scores began to decline (Fernández-Alonso, Suárez-Álvarez, & Muñiz, 2015 ). Crossing that upper limit can drain student motivation and focus. The researchers recommend that “homework should present a certain level of challenge or difficulty, without being so challenging that it discourages effort.” Teachers should avoid low-effort, repetitive assignments, and assign homework “with the aim of instilling work habits and promoting autonomous, self-directed learning.”

In other words, it’s the quality of homework that matters, not the quantity. Brian Sztabnik, a veteran middle and high school English teacher, suggests that teachers take a step back and ask themselves these five questions :

• How long will it take to complete?
• Have all learners been considered?
• Will an assignment encourage future success?
• Will an assignment place material in a context the classroom cannot?
• Does an assignment offer support when a teacher is not there?

More Benefits for High School Students, but Risks as Well

By the time they reach high school, students should be well on their way to becoming independent learners, so homework does provide a boost to learning at this age, as long as it isn’t overwhelming (Cooper et al., 2006 ; Marzano & Pickering, 2007 ). When students spend too much time on homework—more than two hours each night—it takes up valuable time to rest and spend time with family and friends. A 2013 study found that high school students can experience serious mental and physical health problems, from higher stress levels to sleep deprivation, when assigned too much homework (Galloway, Conner, & Pope, 2013 ).

Homework in high school should always relate to the lesson and be doable without any assistance, and feedback should be clear and explicit.

Teachers should also keep in mind that not all students have equal opportunities to finish their homework at home, so incomplete homework may not be a true reflection of their learning—it may be more a result of issues they face outside of school. They may be hindered by issues such as lack of a quiet space at home, resources such as a computer or broadband connectivity, or parental support (OECD, 2014 ). In such cases, giving low homework scores may be unfair.

Since the quantities of time discussed here are totals, teachers in middle and high school should be aware of how much homework other teachers are assigning. It may seem reasonable to assign 30 minutes of daily homework, but across six subjects, that’s three hours—far above a reasonable amount even for a high school senior. Psychologist Maurice Elias sees this as a common mistake: Individual teachers create homework policies that in aggregate can overwhelm students. He suggests that teachers work together to develop a school-wide homework policy and make it a key topic of back-to-school night and the first parent-teacher conferences of the school year.

Parents Play a Key Role

Homework can be a powerful tool to help parents become more involved in their child’s learning (Walker et al., 2004 ). It can provide insights into a child’s strengths and interests, and can also encourage conversations about a child’s life at school. If a parent has positive attitudes toward homework, their children are more likely to share those same values, promoting academic success.

But it’s also possible for parents to be overbearing, putting too much emphasis on test scores or grades, which can be disruptive for children (Madjar, Shklar, & Moshe, 2015 ). Parents should avoid being overly intrusive or controlling—students report feeling less motivated to learn when they don’t have enough space and autonomy to do their homework (Orkin, May, & Wolf, 2017 ; Patall, Cooper, & Robinson, 2008 ; Silinskas & Kikas, 2017 ). So while homework can encourage parents to be more involved with their kids, it’s important to not make it a source of conflict.
