[QUOTE 5243962, member: 10119"]Both of mine are pretty big maths fans and the kids in 'my' schools (I'm their IT technician, but get roped in to class-based stuff 'supporting teaching and learning' quite a lot) always think I'm fibbing when I say I'd happily do maths lessons all day long.
Apparently the SPAG was quite good fun, and then they did a spelling test. There was a question he wasn't sure about so he guessed at a noun phrase. It's all nonsense, isn't it?[/QUOTE]
We are likewise lucky that ours all like maths. I find it strange how the teachers attitude can be a problem adding to the perception of maths being difficult, have had in several occasions the teachers say how difficult maths is in front of the students, which just adds to the already ingrained perception that maths is hard, so to some extent there isn't much point in trying, and if even teacher finds it difficult, why should the student try then.
