Can anyone suggest a good KS2 and KS3 Textbook for Maths please?

Have you looked at the Level Up series?

Is that what you use?

I'm after something that when the parent can't explain to the child then is a good ref to use?

I was suggested to use STP MATHS but I don't think they explain the basics well

STP is very old fashioned and does not fit the new (five years old) KS3 curriculum.

Look at Oxford or Collins - what does the school use?

I find letts very good, easier than Bond for the same age group. good run up to bond.

Hope this helps

Have you looked at the Usborne Illustrated Dictionary of Maths? It is excellent, gives very clear examples and has internet links.

There is also a Junior version, but the full version would be better to lead into KS3.

I definitely would recommend it
