Lol, I'm sorry to tease, but is that the same child you've said you wouldn't describe as mathsy?

Guilty as charged! Honestly I really think a lot of maths is just plain old boring repetitive stuff and I do feel most traditional maths curriculums could be compacted. Best thing school did was let her do a three year grade skip in maths and accepted there would be some gaps, but thought as the work would be more challenging - dd might be more interested. She has completed two grades since then and whilst she isnt exactly brimming with the joy of maths, at least she doesnt hate it either.
