I am trying to find out a bit more about this before parents evening for a girl from overseas (english is her 2nd language). She has already done some elements of lower 6th maths - she was doing maths olympiad stuff overseas. She needs to consolidate her maths vocab, but in terms of doing papers would easily score an A at GCSE.
I am of the opinion that, this year, she is better being stretched sideways in maths, exploring problems etc, as she is also consolidating her english.
So I have two questions:
How do teachers normally deal with this, and can she be allowed to do Year 11 / L6 work in class?
Are there any fun books of maths puzzles, relating concepts to real life etc, that are easy to read and would keep her love of maths alive? What kind of things do children who are into the maths olympiad stuff like doing?
