fun maths homework ks2

In February 2014, I asked my subscribers for their favorite math puzzle. This collection is the result—a list of puzzles chosen by teachers and parents! Most only require the four basic operations or not even that, so they work well for elementary school children and on up. I have divide the puzzles into ones that are geometric in nature and ones that are math & logic puzzles. The are on their own page. I also list several good puzzle websites and books at the bottom of this page.

• Tower of Hanoi Tower of Hanoi is an old favorite puzzle where you move disks from one tower to another. If you've never played, try this online version . You can either play it yourself, or let the computer solve it.
• Trees in rows A gardener planted 10 trees in five rows. Each row had four trees in it. How did he do this? Click here for the answer , but don't peek too early—give it a good honest try first!

Math puzzles

So, Kenken is an excellent game to practice the four operations and logical thinking. Lower elementary children can use addition/subtraction and others can use multiplication/division or all four operations.

Play Kenken online here . You can choose the size of the game, operations, and the difficulty level.

• Same number - or twice as many Here is a puzzle that seems simple, but is a good critical thinking challenge for lower elementary school kids. You can easily reword it for example to have two flocks of birds in two trees. Farmer Brown and Farmer Green were ruminating one day on the fence between their farms. Farmer Brown says, "You know I was just thinking. If you gave me one of your cows, then we would have the same number of cows." Farmer Green replies, "If you gave me one of your cows, then I would have twice as many as you!" How many cows does Farmer Brown have and how many cows does Farmer Green have? Click here for the answer Farmer Brown has five and Farmer Green has seven cows. Hide answer
• More than two animals This puzzle is from Grace Church School's collection of Abacus problems 2013-2014 for grades 3-8. The site does not supply the answers, but students are encouraged to submit their answers and they will receive a reply. I have more than two animals at home. All of them are dogs, except for two. All of them are cats, except for two. All of them are hamsters, except for two. What kinds of animals and how many of each animal do I have? See the answer I have three animals: one dog, one cat, and one hamster. Hide answer
• Brick's weight This is well-known problem that sounds so simple, yet it fools many people! A brick weighs one kilogram plus half of the brick. What is the weight of one brick? Here is the answer It weighs 2 kg. Since a brick weighs 1 kg + half of a brick, the 1 kg gives us the weight of the other half of the brick. Since half a brick weighs 1 kg, the brick weighs 2 kg. Many people incorrectly answer 1 1/2 kg. Hide answer
• Average Miles per Hour A car is going up a hill. The hill is one mile long. The driver goes up the hill at an average speed of 30 miles per hour. When the driver reaches the top of the hill, he starts down the other side. The downhill side is also one mile long. How fast must the driver go down the hill in order to average 60 miles per hour? Solution It is impossible to average 60 miles per hour. An average speed of 60 miles per hour requires two minutes to cover two miles. The first mile was covered at 30 miles per hour. This means that two minutes were used to travel that mile. Hence there are no minutes left to cover the second mile.

• There are 7 girls. They have 14 legs.
• How can these be equal? Here's a short but puzzling puzzle that someone sent for the contest: In which meaning 1070 = 1110 ? See the answer 10 hours 70 minutes equals 11 hours 10 minutes. Hide answer
• Coconut trader An intelligent trader travels from 1 place to another carrying 3 sacks having 30 coconuts each.No sack can hold more than 30 coconuts. On the way he passes through 30 checkpoints and on each checkpoint he has to give 1 coconut for each sack he is carrying. How many coconuts are left in the end? Solution There are 25 coconuts left. He will give out 3 coconuts at each of the first 10 checkpoints and empty his first bag. He has two sacks left. Then he gives out 2 cocounts at each of the next 15 checkpoints, emptying his second bag. Then he has one bag of coconuts left and only 5 checkpoints to go, which means he gives out 5 coconuts from the last bag and is left with 25 coconuts. Hide answer
• Fill the 5-liter container.
• Pour out from the 5-liter container to the 3-liter one until it's full. The 5-liter container now has 2 liters left.

Fun Maths Activities and Investigations for KS1 and KS2 in Primary School

Anantha Anilkumar

Over the years, we’ve created lots of different fun maths activities and investigations to add to primary teachers’ toolboxes. Some of these maths activities mirror our online one to one maths tutoring programme, while others are more suitable for whole class teaching. We share here as part of our continual support for KS1 and KS2 teachers working in UK classrooms.

The purpose of these numeracy activities, especially the event-based ones, is three-fold:

1. To support you, the teacher, with problem solving and reasoning questions (with answers) and save you writing your own. 

2. To give learners the opportunity to see more everyday maths in context, and experiences of how maths reasoning really matters in the real world. 3. To add some variety and relevance to the maths lesson slides, questions and worksheets you may be doing with your class every day. We love what the White Rose maths hub resources provide in terms of weekly planning, but sometimes we may be looking for some more exciting, hands-on and fun maths activities, whether for Year 1 or Year 6.

Topical Maths Activities For The Term

Maths investigations linked to key calendar dates this term, designed to develop reasoning and problem solving in your pupils

Some of you may question the place that fun has in a child’s education , and whether fun maths lessons will achieve the long term goal of retention and retrieval. While we’ve all had a class which requires an upbeat tempo of fun games as part of their learning process, many children will experience cognitive overload if important new maths concepts are introduced through a game. You will know your pupils best in this context. 

The majority of maths activities and investigations shared below use a fun concept or relevant idea to develop children’s number sense, fluency, reasoning and problem solving skills in the pursuit of learning maths.

Follow the links below to find out more about the kind of maths activities and maths investigations we’ve got available to you.

Did you know?

Russia is so large that it has 11 different time zones , more than any other country in the world!

The Winter Palace in St Petersburg used to be the home of the Russian royal family (it is now a museum). There are 1500 rooms and 117 staircases in the palace! There are so many works of art on display that it's been estimated that it would take 11 years to see them all!

People who have seven or more children in Russia are awarded an Order of Parental Glory.

At Christmas Russian children receive gifts not from Father Christmas but from Grandfather Frost and the Snow Maiden.

Only a third of Russian people own a car and most people travel by train.

It takes six days to travel the length of the Trans-Siberian railway (9288km)!

Russia has the largest number of forests in the world and is also home to over 40 national parks and 100 wildlife reserves .

White Nights is the name of the summer evenings in St Petersburg; from mid June to July it is light all day and all night in the city.

Russian people love to grow some of their own food: two thirds of people who live in cities have an allotment.

The Metro (Underground) in Moscow is filled with paintings, chandeliers and statues and was built to be a 'palace for the people'. It is the busiest underground railway system in Europe, carrying 2.4 billion passengers every year.

Yakutsk in the north of Russia is the coldest city on Earth, with average winter temperatures of -40°C. The city is built on stilts because the ground it sits on is frozen all year round and can be very unstable.

Look through the gallery and see if you can spot the following:

• Moscow at night
• The Russian flag
• The Ural mountains
• A dacha , a traditional Russian country house
• The Russian winter landscape
• Traditional decorated bread
• A Russian Orthodox church
• Red Square in Moscow

Russia is the largest country in the world and in its entirety occupies about one-ninth of the total land on earth. Russia spans two continents, Europe and Asia.

Russia shares land borders with 14 other countries. Some of them used to belong to the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), a communist state from 1922 to 1991. The USSR was also known as the Soviet Union.

From the 1400s Russia was ruled by emperors called tsars , but in 1917 the Russian Revolution abolished the monarchy and in 1922 the world's first communist state, the USSR, was established . The communist government aimed to create a fair way of life for everyone, not just the rich ruling class. By 1929, however, a general called Joseph Stalin had seized power and imposed lots of new rules on the people, causing huge suffering. In World War II the Russians fought against Nazi Germany and millions of Russians were killed in the fighting.

In 1945 the USSR became one of the world's superpowers. In the following decades the USSR and the United States of America were on opposite sides in many conflicts; this is known as the Cold War.

In 1989 the communist regime fell; two years later the USSR split into 15 independent countries (the Russian Federation).

Under communism religion was banned, but the Church is now very popular, and around 75 per cent of Russians are Orthodox Christians . Around 10-15 per cent of the population are Muslim.

The Kremlin in Moscow is Russia's centre of government and the home of the Russian president. Vladimir Putin has been president of Russia since 2012; he was also president from 1999 to 2008 and was the country’s prime minister from 2008 to 2012.

The country's second-largest city, St Petersburg, was renamed Leningrad in 1924 to honour the Russian Revolution leader, Lenin. The city's name was changed back to St Petersburg in 1991.

Russia has a growing economy. The country is a manufacturer of machines, transport equipment and chemicals, and also has huge resources of oil, gas and minerals like coal, metals and diamonds. Oil, gas and minerals make up 80 per cent of what Russia exports to other countries. Fishing and farming are important industries, and Russia also produces lots of wood products like paper.

The massive region of Siberia, known as the Asian part of Russia, occupies three quarters of Russian land but only a quarter of the Russian population live there. It is very, very cold with average winter temperatures of -25°C. Siberian tigers, who live in the forests of Siberia, are one of the world's most endangered species. It's estimated that there are only 500 Siberian tigers left in the world.

Summers can be very hot in Russian cities, and lots of people have a small house in the country (called a dacha ) where they go at weekends and grow fruit and vegetables. Picking mushrooms and berries are old Russian traditions.

Lots of traditional Russian foods are made from ingredients that grow well in the cold Russian climate, like beetroot, cabbage and potato. Pirogi is a type of pastry with sweet fillings like fruit and honey and savoury fillings like mushrooms, rice and salmon. Soup, rye bread and porridge are often on the menu.

Russians love tea, but they don't use a kettle to make it! Instead they have a very large metal hot water boiler called a samovar . Russians traditionally add sugar, lemon or jam to their tea!

New Year is Russia's biggest festival, celebrated with a special dinner and fireworks. Before Lent (the 40 days before Easter), Russians celebrate Maslenitsa (Pancake Week). During the festival they eat thin pancakes ( blini ) with sour cream, jam or caviar (fish eggs) and make large straw dolls which are burnt on a bonfire.

Russian nesting dolls,  Matryoshka , are famous around the world. They are wooden figures that open and contain smaller and smaller dolls inside, painted as if they are wearing traditional Russian dress.

Russia has been a world leader in sport, space exploration and culture, renowned for its music, arts and literature. Some of the most famous composers in the world are Russian, including Tchaikovsky, the composer of The Nutcracker. Famous writers include Leo Tolstoy, author of War and Peace , and playwright Anton Chekhov. Ballet is a hugely popular art form and the Bolshoi Ballet in Moscow and the Mariinsky Ballet in St Petersburg are two of the best ballet companies in the world.

Russian athletes and sportspeople are incredibly successful, especially at the Olympic Games. One of the most popular sports in Russia is ice hockey; there are lots of ski resorts, too, and some people swim in ice-cold waters, making a hole in the ice to jump in! Football is the most popular spectator sport.

Story-telling is a big part of Russian cultural tradition. One of the most famous traditional characters is Baba Yaga, a wise but scary witch who lives in a house with chicken legs.

The Tudors for kids KS2

The Tudors for kids KS2 learning at Primary School. Homework help on the history of the Tudors, Tudor Britain and Henry VIII.

Time: 1485AD - 1603AD

Who were the Tudors?

The Tudors are one of the most famous families ever to rule England. They were in power from 1485 when Henry Tudor was crowned King Henry VII, until the time Queen Elizabeth I died, without an heir, in 1603. The Tudors were some of the most colourful people in history.

Tudor Kings and Queens

There were six Tudor Kings and Queens.

• Henry VII - 1485-1509
• Henry VIII - 1509-1547
• Edward VI - 1547-1553
• Jane Grey - July 1553
• Mary I - 1553-1558
• Elizabeth I - 1558-1603

Horrible Histories - Terrible Tudors

He had six wives:

• Catherine of Aragon - Catherine had a daughter with Henry, but no son so Henry divorced her.
• Anne Boleyn - Anne had a daughter (who would be Queen Elizabeth I) with Henry, but Henry turned against his wife and had her head chopped off.
• Jane Seymour - They had a son, Edward (who was the next King) but she died two weeks after he was born.
• Anne of Cleves - Henry divorced Anne after only six months.
• Catherine Howard - Catherine was only 19 when they married. Henry had her head chopped off.
• Katherine Parr - She looked after Henry's children.

Elizabeth I

Elizabeth had a quick temper and liked to get her own way. She liked to live in fine palaces in London and it was an exciting time when she ruled. There were a lot of new discoveries during her time and many English explorers sailed off to find new lands.

Unlike Henry VIII, Elizabeth I never married and as she grew older people wondered who would be next Tudor to take over. So when she died on 24th March 1603, the Tudor period ended and the next in line to the throne was James VI of Scotland who became King and started the Stuarts period.

Tudor Britain

Although Elizabethan England was very rich, there were many poor people who had to beg for a living. In 1563 a Poor Law was passed so that money could be raised for the less fortunate ones.

Sir Walter Raleigh

He had many expeditions across the Atlantic to America. From one trip he brought back potatoes and tobacco to Europe, two things that were not known of at that time.

Sir Francis Drake

The Spanish Armada

How did the spanish armada start.

In 1588 King Philip II of Spain, angry that the English were raiding Spanish ships and stealing their treasures, sent a fleet of ships (The Spanish Armada), to invade England. They planned to sail to the Netherlands to join with an army, but while sailing through the English Channel, they were attacked by English warships. Fierce sea battles took place and during one night, while the Spanish ships were anchored near France, the English sent eight ships that had been set on fire, into the middle of the Spanish ships. The Spanish panicked and scattered all over the place.

The next day battle raged all day but the English, in the end, won.

What happened to the Spanish Armada?

Having been blown north around Scotland and Ireland, most of the Spanish ships were wrecked in terrible storms.

Home Learning Ideas, Activities and Guides For Primary and Secondary School Teachers

Sophie Bessemer

Home learning can be challenging. Here, you’ll find links to all the home learning maths support available for schools from Third Space Learning. Originally created during the Covid-19 pandemic, it’s still available for schools to provide to pupils and their families during any other school closures.

Here’s how Third Space Learning can support home learning:

• Our  one to one maths tuition continues to run for children in school
• If you are registered for our  maths hub  (it’s free for teachers and parents to register) you can access a range of  free downloadable  maths resources   all created to help practise and revise the essential maths skills that children in Years 1 to 6 need. Look out for the home learning section.
• As well as the widely read articles for teachers and school leaders on the  Third Space Learning blog  we have added many articles designed to help demystify the maths curriculum and provide as much help and  home learning ideas  as possible for those supporting their children with maths at home. These are all linked from this page.

We’ve been supporting schools with online one to one tuition for over 10 years now, helping to raise attainment in maths across over 150,000 pupils.

Our one-to-one maths programmes take place online with tutor support in schools. To raise attainment across the school, not only among those pupils receiving one-to-one tuition , schools additionally have premium access to our Maths Hub, home to hundreds of quality teaching resources and CPD.

In this blog, we’ve brought together a collection of guides, advice, tips and additional teaching resources that you can share with parents to continue pupils’ learning at home, or fill in any learning gaps as needed.

Download free maths resources from our mathshub

Find what you need in our collection of free and premium maths resources for teachers and parents. Register to join for free (works best with Google Chrome).

How to use these home learning ideas and activities

When it comes to home learning, as any Headteacher or Senior Leader knows, it’s not enough to just provide an online learning equivalent. Not only does the quality and quantity of online devices and computers at home vary hugely, but parents will also have varying capacities in their time or confidence to keep children going. 

So, to help your parents get the most of the free resources we know you will be providing them with, we’ve brought together the following collection of guides, advice, tips and additional teaching resources, all centred around teaching maths. Every blog post contains ideas to keep children busy and engaged in maths at home and they’ve all been written with parents in mind.    

We recommend adding a link to this page on your own school website to provide another source of support and guidance for parents on their home learning journey.

Free Home Learning Packs

If you’re a class teacher or parent looking for education resources specifically to help children with maths at home take a look at this list of all free home learning packs available to you.

These are online resources all available to use at home, with a range of free activities and lesson plans included in them. They’re ideal for homeschooling young people aged 5 to 12.

Why it’s all about maths All our tutors are maths specialists, our one to one tuition lessons tackle every topic in the primary maths curriculum and we confidently believe that our maths resources are the best available for schools and parents. However we aren’t yet English teaching specialists so you won’t find any English, PSHE or other subjects here. For them we recommend you seek out other high quality providers – BBC Bitesize is often a good starting point.

Home Learning Maths Curriculum Guides For Parents

As with teachers there’s a vast range in what parents already know about the primary maths curriculum and the transition to secondary maths. We’ve created these home learning toolkits as practical information guides to hand to parents and carers with children studying maths at school. Each one breaks down what the curriculum expects from learners in maths for each year group and then how parents can help support their children through it.

Maths Homework: What Parents Should Know

You may be surprised both by how much parents know about some aspects (ask them about partitioning!) and occasionally by how little (who knew the difference between area and perimeter was so tricky to grasp?). The following guides break down all parents need to know about the major topics at primary school that children struggle with. They are designed so parent and child can work through them together at their own pace as part of their home learning work on maths at home . 

• How To Teach Your Child To Learn Times Tables At Home
• How To Teach Your Child To Learn Fractions At Home
• How To Help Your Child When Comparing Fractions, Decimals, And Percentages
• How To Teach Your Child To Learn Short Division and Long Division At Home 

And if this still isn’t enough we’ve also brought together a list of our top free maths homework sites and apps

Inspiring A Love of Maths: Why Maths Is Important

Parents as we know are their children’s first influencers and can have an enormous effect on how much children enjoy and even achieve in maths. Here at Third Space Learning, we love maths, we know how important it is and we believe everyone can do it.

But it’s completely normal for some children to struggle, some children to think they hate it, and some even to develop maths anxiety .

The article Why is Maths Important points you to lots of useful information and ideas on how to build up children’s resilience and improve both their attitude to maths and their ability to learn maths, covering topics such as growth mindset and metacognition along the way.

Home Learning Maths Games

As educators, we know it’s not all about fun but, when you’re trying to keep spirits high, injecting a bit of fun into maths at home doesn’t go amiss so keep a look out for our games and activities blogs.

First we’ve got 35 brilliant times tables games to lighten up what can be a bit of a laborious but essential journey to mastering times tables . Then we’ve also collected together our favourite free maths games to do at home just in time for home learning – all you’ll need is a paper and pen, and for some of them, a die or a pack of cards. Hours of fantastic maths fun and it doesn’t even need to stop when you have to go on a journey. We’ve included some activities for car journeys too!

We’re also adding to our collections with free KS2 maths games , KS1 maths games and KS3 maths games for all maths topics.

Primary Maths Curriculum Knowledge Buster

Much of the primary maths curriculum will be new to parents compared with how they were taught, and the terminology may flummox or confuse, so we’d encourage you to point them to our free Primary Maths Dictionary for Kids , deliberately created to help explain some of the trickier and more unusual terms.   

All the key terms parents will come across from partitioning to perimeter are included in a dictionary format and then where needed, we provide links to additional guidance such as on BODMAS (or BIDMAS), square numbers , regular and irregular shapes and our favourite, maths word problems .

Each of the additional articles are tackled in a ‘What is’ format, suitable for KS1 and KS2 parents with sample questions and answers and how they are used in the primary maths curriculum. A bit like you’re likely to find on the knowledge organisers your school will hand out to show what children need to learn about a topic.

Topics covered like this so far include:

• What Is The Highest Common Factor
• What Is A Venn Diagram
• What Are Lowest Common Multiples
• What Is Place Value
• What Is A Unit Fraction
• What Is A Line Of Symmetry: Symmetrical Shapes Explained For Primary Parents And Kids
• What Is A Number Sentence: Explained For Primary Parents And Kids!
• What Is The Highest Common Factor: Explained For Primary Parents And Kids
• What Is A Prime Number?  
• What Is Partitioning?
• What Is The 12 Hour And 24 Hour Clock? 
• What Are Equivalent Fractions
• What Are Concrete Resources

We’re adding to this primary maths dictionary all the time but if we don’t cover it and you need us to, just get in touch [email protected] and we’ll write it for you! We’re open to requests from teachers as well as parents – it’s all valuable CPD.

Home Learning and Primary School Homework

Never will parents have such respect for teachers as they will after 48 hours of home learning. The principles of home learning apply equally to managing children’s homework in ordinary times. Wherever you sit on the homework debate and whether it’s necessary at primary school, most schools still subscribe to some degree of learning taking place at home, whether that’s phonics, weekly spellings, or daily Times Tables Rockstars.

Use our primary homework help guide for parents to understand what you need to know and how to embed good habits and routines in school homework – look out for top tips and hacks from parents with experience.

KS1 And KS2 SATs For Parents

Every year we give over 7,000 pupils online maths interventions to support them for their Key Stage 2 SATs . During Covid, SATs were cancelled but now that SATs are back , parents may find some of the tips and information helpful at this time. Plenty of the teaching content and revision techniques are applicable for Year 6 as a whole, not just the end of year assessments. Here is everything parents need to know about the KS1 and KS2 SATs .

We hope this blog helps in some way to support schools and families. Third Space Learning will be operating as usual through the crisis and we’re setting up all children to continue to receive their 1-to-1 maths intervention programmes from home.

Get in touch at [email protected] or on twitter or facebook if you need any support in maths, want to set up your own pupils with interactive one to one maths lessons or just generally fancy a chat. We’re always around!

DO YOU HAVE STUDENTS WHO NEED MORE SUPPORT IN MATHS?

Every week Third Space Learning’s maths specialist tutors support thousands of students across hundreds of schools with weekly one to one tuition designed to plug gaps and boost progress.

Since 2013 these personalised one to one lessons have helped over 169,000 primary and secondary students become more confident, able mathematicians.

In time, like the , the Vikings made their home here. They drove the Saxons out of part of the country and took it for themselves. King Alfred, Saxon king of Wessex, fought them in a great battle, but he could not drive them right away and had to let them have part of the country, called Danelaw. did the Vikings come from? were the Vikings? did they invade Britain? did the Vikings invade Britain? in Britain? did the Vikings follow? like? like? - please read All the materials on these pages are free for homework and classroom use only.

Both are good and can complement each other.'   As well as keeping up the momentum with maths and English, it’s important to support your child's learning in different ways, including creative subjects, physical activity and learning through play.   ‘Children need a variety of subjects to help them develop a broader appreciation of the wonderful world of knowledge out there,’ Bobby explains. ‘This is a chance for them to learn new things that they might not have done before.’   Tapping into diverse resources – from worksheets to tutorials to YouTube videos – will also keep your child engaged so they don’t lose interest in learning. Need a little help?  It’s important to give our kids lots of different learning experiences, but we also need to help them keep moving with literacy and maths. Lots of families will also be preparing for their child to take the 11+ in the autumn: we've rounded up the latest information about revised 11+ dates in each area.   While some of us may have grown in confidence with home learning, others might still feel out of their comfort zone when supporting their children with maths and English. This is where online tutoring can help.   ‘Using an online tutor can help take the pressure off you by giving your child time with someone who’s knowledgeable in a particular area,’ explains Charlotte Gater, Head of Curriculum at Explore Learning. ‘It will give your child the chance to be stretched in a subject that they excel in, or develop in an area they find more challenging.’   Online tutoring isn’t passive learning, where your child sits at a screen and is expected to work through endless questions and tasks. Rather, it calls on them to be engaged and independent  (as well as offering you the reassurance that they are working through a structured set of resources).   ‘When we’re teaching a new concept, we get children to teach it back to us, so we know they understand,’ says Charlotte.   ‘We focus a lot on how children are learning, not just what they’re learning, and establishing these great learning habits allows them to embrace learning in any scenario.’   Whether your child is preparing for entrance exams or home learning, one-to-one online tutoring is a great way to provide structure and help them focus on key skills, but you can supplement it with online resources to make learning fun and varied.   To help you out, we’ve rounded up our 12 favourite online resources that’ll keep your child’s learning on track. Best for reading scheme books Oxford Owl eBook Library If your child's progress with their school  reading scheme has declined, you can get them back on track thanks to the brilliant ebooks from leading educational publisher Oxford University Press.   The virtual library is stocked with books for primary school children of all reading levels, including books from reading schemes like Biff and Chip and Read Write Inc Phonics. There are also books for independent reading.   Once you’ve registered, you can search by age, reading level, book type and series to find the best titles to help your child make progress with their reading at home. Best for one-to-one tuition Explore Learning: Explore at Home Explore Learning is renowned for helping children aged 4-14 learn through its Explore at Home one-to-one tutoring: brilliant if your child needs a little help to get back on track, or is preparing for the 11+ or other important exam.   When you sign up for Explore at Home, your child’s personal expert tutor will devise a bespoke programme tailored to their age and stage, aligned with the primary curriculum.   Your child will have a weekly one-to-one online session with a qualified centre tutor (the sessions can be delivered from any device, including mobile and tablets); learning will happen through a split screen and feedback will be provided to both you and your child at the end.   Your child’s progress is tracked so their tutor can identify their strengths and weaknesses and support them with the areas they find difficult, plus they'll have unlimited online access to an individualised online learning programme, with downloadable educational resources and worksheets, so they can work on their maths and English skills from home. Explore Learning is offering a free trial of Explore at Home so you can decide if it would be right for you and your child. Best for demystifying primary school jargon TheSchoolRun.com One of the trickiest things about supporting your child’s home learning is making sense of what they’re learning at school. Many of the terms they use are unfamiliar ( fronted adverbials , anyone?), which is where TheSchoolRun comes in.   The comprehensive primary school glossaries – English , grammar, maths , science and computing – explain every bit of terminology you need to know, with examples, step-by-step explanations and teachers’ tips to help you support your child.   We also have hundreds of free Homework Gnome resources to help your child with all those primary school history, geography, science and RE topics, each packed with facts, trivia, images, videos and links to further info: just what you need if your child has been given a homework project and doesn’t know where to start. Best for book recommendations Whether your child is happiest with their nose in a book or needs encouragement to read , Toppsta is packed with inspiring ideas to support reading for pleasure.   The website is full of book recommendations for children aged 0 to 14, with reader reviews , book lists for different ages, stages and subjects, featured books, giveaways and inspiring ideas to help your child enjoy reading. Best for library lovers Your local library If you have a library card, you can borrow a vast range of children’s and young adult ebooks and audiobooks from your local library to read or listen to on a tablet or phone using apps like Libby , Borrowbox , PressReader and rbdigital . Visit your library’s website to find out which app it uses.   You can also access a wide range of online reference books to support your child’s homework projects, as well as newspapers and magazines to give them a grounding in reading non-fiction and current affairs . Best for daily lessons BBC Bitesize BBC Bitesize has a huge range of online lessons in English and maths, tailored to your child’s key stage. You can use these to supplement what your child is learning at school, or to keep them learning if they're off school for any reason.   There are also videos, quizzes and podcasts to make learning fun, plus educational programmes on iPlayer and the red button.   Best for maths games Children learn best if they’re enjoying themselves, which is why we love Topmarks: a website full of fantastic maths games for children aged three to 14.   The games are grouped by age, and you can also pick a particular category for your child to focus on, like place value , money maths , shapes and problem-solving. Games include Place Value Basketball, Rocket Rounding, and Number Patterns.   Many of the games are tablet-friendly, while others use Flash and so need to be played on a computer or laptop. There are also parents’ resources to give you ideas for improving your child’s maths skills, for example learning through cooking. Best coding website Blockly Games Blockly Games introduces children to the basics of computer coding through interactive games.   Blockly is a programming language that works by stacking blocks together, a bit like a jigsaw. These blocks are used to create chunks of code that can then be converted into professional text code.   Blockly Games helps children get to grips with coding through games, puzzles and activities like making an animated character, writing instructions for a maze, and composing music using simple commands. This helps them understand key principles of coding like sequences, conditionals and loops. Best for play ideas Make Time 2 Play Learning isn’t all about sitting at the table with pencil and paper; there’s a lot that kids can learn through play, too. Why not have a look at Make Time 2 Play? It has over 450 play ideas for primary school children and younger that can be played online or downloaded to a tablet or phone. You can search by age, the number of children participating, the duration of the game and the particular benefits.   There’s a great selection of activities including arts and crafts, physical challenges and imaginative play, many of which you can do in the home and garden. Best for KS3 Home Learning Timetable It’s natural to feel daunted if you’re supporting a secondary school child ’s learning at home, especially if they've just started Year 7 and are facing a bigger homework workload than they're used to. Every day, Home Learning Timetable links to three online lessons on websites like YouTube and TED-Ed, covering key curriculum areas like maths and science plus optional subjects like media studies.   You can access previous days’ learning activities, so there’s no obligation to do every lesson every day, and there’s an emphasis on fun, with quizzes, TV programmes and practical challenges alongside more structured lessons.   If you or your child finds a great learning resource online, you can submit it to the website to be considered for inclusion.  Best search engine Keeping kids safe online is a priority for every parent, especially as a few wrong clicks could lead them to seriously unsuitable content.   Kiddle is a search engine for children that’s designed to ensure they can search safely. Search results are filtered to make sure they’re age-appropriate, and websites written especially for children are top of the listings.   Most results are illustrated with a thumbnail picture to help your child understand what they’re about, and the site is written in a large, child-friendly font for ease of reading. Best for broadening horizons TED is renowned for its short, informative and powerful talks on a huge range of subjects – and TED-Ed is its youth and education initiative, bringing new ideas to children from primary age up.   Short animations that spark ideas are TED-Ed’s bread and butter, with collaborations from teachers, designers, journalists, science writers and historians, covering subjects as diverse as the immune system, the myths behind the Chinese Zodiac, and materials science.   Register with the website to receive engaging learning ideas by email, grouped by age, across curriculum and non-curriculum areas from maths, literature and language to health and psychology. Best for investigation and curiosity Looking to encourage a little scientific curiosity in your child? Wonderlab+ is the Science Museum Group’s free learning website that brings science to life through creative and fun experiments and games. It is fun, playful and educational.  Learn about how things work, conduct experiments, explore space and go on interactive missions to solve mysterious problems.  The graphics are really engaging and the website is easy for kids to navigate, with facts and information written in in a way that is easily accessible.  This article is a paid collaboration between TheSchoolRun and Explore Learning.
