Chrisb Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Hi DebraYou could start with trying the Cahiers de Vacances which are available in most supermarkets, near to the books/magazines.........these are workbooks available in all subjects for all year groups. This would give you an idea of the levels required in all subjects, and would give your children an idea of how they do things 'French style' in maths!Good luck!!RegardsChris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob G Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 I can't really answer your question, other than to say that we moved here in November; our daughter - who was born in Nov 1997 - is in CE2, and is having to work quite hard to catch up on maths. They seem to be at a more advanced level than she was in her class in England, plus she has effectively gone up a year. They are expected to know all their tables and be able to do long multiplication and also quite complex addition and subtraction. Hasn't been a major problem, but we are needing to give her quite a bit of extra support at home.Our son is 11 (DOB Nov 1994) and is in CM2 (i.e. the year before starting collège). He seems top be way ahead of the rest of the class in maths, and most other areas apart from French.Not sure how much this helps....Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suze01 Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 One thing your 8 year old's can do is to practise their times tables - in French! They do focus on this quite a lot and they must learn them. My 11 year old son is in collège now but part of his end of term report is his knowledge and speed of response of the times tables - I even had a computer printout of the ones that he was weak in! For the six year old I would just learn the numbers and simple additions: pairs 2+2 etc and all combinations that make 10 was one that my daughter did at about this age.

Debra Posted February 23, 2006 Author Share Posted February 23, 2006 found it by searching on google on the terms you mentioned - here is the link: http://www.cndp.fr/archivage/valid/74538/74538-11816-15342.pdf (note that the site is cndp not crdp if anyone else tries to view it).

Debra Posted February 23, 2006 Author Share Posted February 23, 2006 downloaded it, converted it to a word document and then tried the word web translator and the worldlingo translator server can't be found! Guess I'll just have to struggle through it - unless anyone else knows of another quick and dirty way of translating a document??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tourangelle Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Sorry, you're absolutely right. I got to it through a site of aCRDP which isn't quite as mad as it sounds though, because it is centreregional de documentation pedagogique, and their websites have the names of the academies after them and the N changes itto national, and I got mixed up. Glad you managed to find it inthe end[:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
