You should all look at Brian Butterworth's website about his book (The Mathematical Brain),

The experiment in Boston schools is particularly impressive, where children were only taught arithmetic from 11, but had practised thinking and puzzle solving skills from the start. I feel that the eleven plus experience has showed me how flawed the National Curriculum approach is with regard to mathematics.

Gosh I had to laugh at this survey result!!

As a typical 11+ parent I can declare

I did none of the above!!!

I wonder whether people make these things up just to stir up a debate!!
