You may have the ability to do this russet but others don't.

Khan Academy cannot be recommended for parents who are not aware of the pitfalls of wrong vocabulary and the promotion of methods which are not inline with those used in this country.

I know nothing about it so I have no opinion.

I have looked extensively at Khan Academy ...

I was recommending teh games on Sheppard Software, to improve recall of multiplication facts etc. not as a way to teach methods.

You cannot make a direct comparison.

And my opinions on Khan Academy are different from your. It would be a shame to put people off discovering a tutorial on it which could enlighten their child on some aspect of maths on which they were struggling. I think most people who come on to the 11+ forum have the sense to look at it and decide whether or not it would help.

They often are not aware of the differences and the issues this could cause for their child.

Anyway, there are English websites that are so much better! Don't create a problem by using flawed resources ...
