An excellent resource from the Northumberland Grid for Learning. These two maths programs are aimed at using with projectors and whole class teaching. They can however be used with small groups around a standard monitor. The screens start with the maximum numbers set to 10 but this can be altered by the user. The main screen allows the user to hide or show the first, second or answer digits. Numbers can also be changed whilst they are hidden. The resources on this website are freely available for use in education establishments but must not be used for commercial purposes or distributed on other websites.

All 4 year olds and many 3 year olds are entitled to free part-time education. These early years, together with their time in reception class at primary school, make up the foundation stage. It probably won't feel like learning - most children see it as just fun and play. But as they get to grips with speaking and listening, singing and dancing, stories and counting, they'll be gaining all the basic skills that will get them off to a flying start when they reach year 1. 'What is the Foundation Stage?' It's for children aged 3-5, and covers the years they spend from the beginning of nursery or pre-school to the end of reception class in primary school. It was introduced in September 2000 to cover these important years in your child's life. 'Where will my child go for Foundation Stage?' The government is funding Foundation Stage places: in nursery and reception classes in playgroups in pre-schools in nurseries with accredited childminders in approved childminding networks.

These years of your child's time at school between 5 and 7 are called key stage 1. At the end of each key stage, each National Curriculum subject has a target: your child should have reached a particular level of skills, knowledge and understanding. Why have targets and tests? Children get a sense of achievement from reaching each milestone in their learning, and going beyond it. Schools use them to check on children's progress, so that they can match their teaching to each child's needs and abilities. The government uses them to see how many children are making the right kind of progress (especially in English and mathematics, where children take National Curriculum tests and tasks at age 7). Of course, some children may not make as much progress as others and some have special educational needs. Please read the important information about this in the section on frequently asked questions. As a parent or carer, you have a very important role to play in helping your child learn. Some parents are afraid of doing the wrong thing. (If you are unsure about how to help, you can always ask your child's teacher.) The most important things you can do are: take an interest in what your child is learning at school, and encourage them to tell you about it praise them when they have done well. There are other things you can do, too: this book also gives ideas and tips for each subject. Don't feel you have to do all of them, but any you can do will support your child's learning at school.
