Rom, we have a large white board at home - I fill it every day prior to the 9y.o coming home, and she has to complete that before bed. Subjects are Maths, English, Geography, Science and Russian.
Her 4y.o sister has to do writing, numbers, Russian and simple geography (she has an incredible memory - thankfully still in the plastic range).
What our 9y.o is learning in Gd 4, I distinctly remember doing in Gd.2. The maths being taught is...simply...simple. We taught her at home up to the 12X table, and as such, plus the other Maths (simple algebra, fractions etc), she is an A student in Maths NOW.
I fully understand the plight of the teaching fraternity, given their requirement to fulfil the rather lacking syllabus (you probably disagree) and still be expected to deliver results based on Naplan etc.
