It's always a struggle to get kids to enjoy and want to do well in some of the core subjects at school. My daughters primary school has been taking part in the brilliant Mathletics http://www.mathletics.co.uk/ and it's been having a terrific effect on every one of the children.
They take part as a class, as well as individually and so brings the idea of competition into learning. We all know that kids love competitions and games and anything that has them trying to 'up their score' so to speak. She rushes home and wants to get online to get the class further up in the rankings, and also beat the other year 6 class. This is a welcome online pastime. So if your child's school isnt taking part then maybe you can slip them the idea- it's learning with fun.
