From what I've read on here and drawing from our own experience too, schools seem happy to hand out lots of reading books and spellings but are reluctant to give any Maths homework - even fun stuff like games etc.
Surely maths like reading needs practice & reinforcing. It would be useful from a parents point of view to know what exactly your child is struggling with in Maths and help them to understand it, given that teachers don't seem to have the time to give your child one-to-one to help remedy the problem.
Is reading seen as fun & interesting and Maths hard & boring? Or why do school decide that parents can help with reading and spelling but not maths?
