Year 1 homework support
Use Homework Magic alongside your child's school homework. When a question is difficult, focus on understanding the method, then try another question. Reviewing mistakes can help children see which topics need more practice.
For families preparing for selective-school entrance, the separate 11+ section provides targeted practice, mistake review, topic mastery and mock exams.
Why use short practice sessions?
Short, focused activities can make it easier to keep practice manageable around school, reading, clubs and family time. Children can practise a skill, check their work and return to a tricky topic later.
