For anyone who is thinking their child may return to school at some point or anyone who is folowing the national curriculum, I have just bought a book called Maths for Mums and Dads. It goes through all the current terms used (there were some I had never heard of). It goes through what chidren would be doing in each school year up to the age of 11. It also shows ways of teaching the various concepts to your children.
Just thought this might be of interest to some.

Briliant antidote to "school maths" short and therefore not too scary looking can't pretend that I understand it all but still enjoyed reading it very much!
