Confused trying to help your child with maths?
They didn?t teach it that way in my day!?
Ever wished your child could take a teacher home to help?

Now with LCP?s unique TAKE-A-TEACHER-HOME double CD ROM pack, your child can bring a virtual teacher into your living room! Produced by head and deputy head Margaret Griffin and Kathryn Robinson to help parents and children in their school, these helpful CD ROMs are now available to you through your school, and are aimed at Y3 ? Y6.

The TAKE-A-TEACHER-HOME CDs generate random addition, subtraction, multiplication and division calculations for you to try with your child, and include video demonstrations showing how the different calculations are taught in today?s classrooms, so you can help your child and support their learning by building on the work they do in school.
