Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

My 15 year old recently asked me to remind her what an adjective is. This is someone who got an extremely high SATS score in Y6...

My 9 Year old got as a written problem: Area = 96cm2, length is 4cm longer than width. What are length/width.

That’s a quadratic equation to solve properly (otherwise just factors of 96).

Bob the fucking bubble I’d have thrown out the window by now and just given them some picture books to puzzle out. How ridiculous

Totri, I can tell you the answer and a way to do it, but each school will teach it differently. Factors is probably the easiest way, and at 9 they should be able to see that it is 12x8=96 because of the multiplication test we are working towards (which I don't know if it still be happening)

I worked it out but I guessed they wanted 12x8 rather than the quadratic 😂 Thanks!

Yeah, we only teach years 1 and 2 quadratic equations, after that we let them have a break for a bit :)

We seem to be settling in to a routine were the majority of school work is done before lunch and then something else gets done in the afternoon, we are in the middle of bread making currently.

This is of course entirely dependent upon the workloads of two parents who are supposed to be working full time.

There is always time for Fortnite and Netflix :-)
