I was told at parents' evening last year in yr2 that DD was G and T in maths. Now almost at end of yr3 and the school are not giving her anything extra to stretch her. I have mentioned it, but all the school says is 'she's doing fine'. I was also told she was in the 'top 3' in a recent assessment, which means she must be in the top 10%.
I don't think she is a genius, but she does seem to have a good maths head. I recently showed her some simple simultaneous equations (a+b=5, a-b=1) and she grasped the concept immediately. I don't really know if this is even unusual at 7.
I don't want to be pushy, but wonder whether she is missing out at all. Do you think I should push the school more? I'd love to hear your experience in this area.
PS her spelling is shocking and she dislikes writing so they may be wanting her to concentrate on that...
