Introducing the 11+
Sudoku is also a brilliant way to encourage looking for sequences and games such as Sets, or Rummikub are also great at pattern spotting (but also great fun – and addictive)!
When I sent out the email the other day saying about doing the Monday and Thursday emails for hints with primary English, Maths, and revision, I was asked if I could include the 11+.
I’m only going to do this email fortnightly on a Wednesday if that’s ok, however, I was contemplating an 11+ membership group like the Clara James Approach with ideas and resources to help with the 11+, and or to create support books to help.
If you would like to receive these emails, just send me a message at [email protected]
They would be set out like the angles one – taking you through each topic with a ‘how to’ then 3 activities to help consolidate what you/ your child has learned.
If you think either of these ideas would be helpful, please do shout. This email is very much an introductory one. If I start by giving you a couple of generic ideas you can use then give you the Math syllabus, we can then gradually work through that initially before looking at what is required in the other units.
Here in Buckinghamshire the CPG are the most relevant to the exam, however, I would suggest that before you start buying the books, have a look on line as you can often download the papers for free.
Generic ideas:
A good knowledge of the times tables – you can find ideas to support learning them and resources in the Clara James Approach.
Encourage your child to read, it doesn’t matter what, a variety is great though as that will introduce new styles and language. It also supports grammar and spellings.
A few years back the ‘Find Wally’ books were popular. These are brilliant for supporting the non-verbal reasoning where you need to place close attention to the detail to find the differences in the patterns.
Sudoku is also a brilliant way to encourage looking for sequences and games such as Sets, or Rummikub are also great at pattern spotting (but also great fun – and addictive)!
As we go through each element of the syllabus, we’ll look at some more ideas, but I hope this helps for starters.
