Useful Resource for Maths
Many of these resources were contributed by our 11+ Forum member Guest55, to whom we are most grateful.
General resources
- QCA Glossary of Maths vocabulary

- NRICH enrichment resources for Key Stages 2 & 3
- Free Rice is an American website that provides online games across several curriculum subjects, including maths, and the concept of donating a grain of rice for every correct answer has huge appeal for children. (N.B. If using it for English practice an adult should spend a few minutes working with the child when they first use the website to point out the variations between US and English spelling, such as the different use of the letter s and z “familiarisation” vs. “familiarization” and the lack of the letter “u” in words such as “favour” and “favor”.)
