A Day at the Table

What the teaching actually looks like
This is what you teach from
One unit of one lesson, as it appears on the screen. You read the left panel with your child. They answer on the right and reveal each answer when they are ready. You prepare nothing, and all 463 units work the same way.
Find 35 of 40
Method
Divide by the bottom number. 40 ÷ 5 = 8, so one fifth is 8.
Multiply by the top number. 8 × 3 = 24.
Q1 Find 23 of 21
Q2 Find 38 of 40
Q3 Find 56 of 54
Q1 is already revealed. Click the other two to see how your child checks their own work.
Drawn at reduced size
This is one of 463 units. They sit inside eighty lessons that run from reading numbers to 100 through to simultaneous equations and probability. Every one is built the same way: the method first, then questions your child works and checks.
The script for one unit
Everything you have to say
This is the script for the unit above. On the left is what appears on screen as you click. On the right is what you say. There is nothing to look up beforehand.
If you would rather not talk it through at all, an older child can click through the worked example on their own and go straight to the questions.
From the lesson itself
The same two moments, straight off the screen
The panel above is drawn. These two are screenshots of the real lesson.
The routine
What a day at the table looks like
No planning evening behind it, and no printer.
No lesson planning
Open the next lesson on the list. The teaching is already on the screen, so there is nothing to write before you sit down.
A worked example on every unit
Each unit shows the method one step at a time, so you can explain it even if you last did this maths at school yourself.
Answers on one click
Your child works the question on paper, clicks to reveal the answer, and checks it against their own working.
20 to 30 minutes a lesson
That is one sitting at the table. Each lesson holds more questions than one sitting needs, so stop once it has landed.
Nothing to print
It opens in a browser on a laptop or a desktop computer. Nothing to install, and no paper to run off the night before.
Before you buy
What this is not
If one of these is a dealbreaker, better to find out now than after you have paid.
It is not a whole curriculum. This is maths. There is no English, no science and no humanities in it, so you will need those from somewhere else.
It is not marked by a teacher. Your child reveals the answers and checks their own working. Nobody grades it and there is no report at the end of term.
It is not a printable workbook. The lessons run on screen, on a laptop or a desktop computer. A phone is too small to work from.
It is not a video course. Nobody talks at your child for twenty minutes. You teach from the worked example, which is why it needs a parent in the room, at least at first.
It is not a subscription. You pay once and the lessons stay yours.
It is not an official scheme. It is one teacher’s teaching order, mapped onto the school years so that you always know where you are.
Two ways to buy it
The Key Stage 2 lessons on their own, or the whole library including the sixteen that carry on past Key Stage 2. Both are one payment, and both are yours to keep.
