Maths catch-up for any class: live online course

Week by week

What the learner works on

1. Weeks 1–2
   Find the first gap

   A short, friendly check of number sense, tables and fractions shows where the trouble began.

2. Weeks 3–4
   Place value and number sense

   Tens, ones and the big numbers, with objects and pictures.

3. Weeks 5–6
   Tables and number facts

   Patterns and games instead of chanting, so facts stay.

4. Weeks 7–8
   Fractions and decimals

   Fraction strips, number lines and money, the ideas most children stumble on.

5. Weeks 9–10
   Word problems

   Reading, drawing and choosing the operation.

6. Weeks 11–12
   Back to the chapter

   Return to this year's textbook with the gaps closed.

The order and pace change to suit the learner, and the teacher adjusts after every few classes. Topics follow the learner's board or level.

Who it is for

Is this course right?

Children who say they are "bad at maths", who are a year or more behind, or who understand in class but lose the thread at home. Parents are welcome to sit in.

Not sure about the level? Send a message and the teacher will ask a few questions and suggest where to start. For related pages, see Online maths tuition by class.

How classes run

Before the first class

Each class mixes a quick recap, a new idea taught live, guided practice and a few questions to take away. Join ten minutes early for a sound and camera check, and use a laptop or desktop if the class needs screen sharing. Read what to expect in your first online class.
