This is quite a common sequence, groupings of 3 unrelated numbers and sometimes operations. eg +7 – 3 + 8 followed by +7 or -3 +8 + 9 followed by – 3Milla wrote: Must admit some of these seem rather hard and the "pattern" a little stretched (thinking of +2 + 1 + 1 + 2 etc)
Yes, I agree SSM the school needs to be informed, it is good practice to sit tests from many publishers in order to see the different variations within each type. However the teacher should only use relevant publishers. One , it will confuse, so late in the day, and two the 11 plus road is stressful enough, so why teach a child totally inappropriate types of questions adding to the pressure. Children should be out enjoying themselves, time wasted on irrelevant material could be used for more enjoyable activities.SSM wrote: Maybe you can just let the school know how it affected your DD. If you can do it tactfully without being critical the school might be appreciatvie.
