DO you know your fronted adverbial from your quadratic sequence?
If you do, you’re probably better than most parents at helping your kids with their homework.
Changes in the curriculum have left parents so baffled that they are forking out £40 an hour to hire tutors – for themselves.
UK company Tutor House has set up a service to bring adults up to speed after a survey of 2,500 parents found that more than two thirds struggled to understand their kids’ schoolwork.
Almost all said they didn’t understand new terminology and just over a fifth said they regularly helped with their child’s study.
In a separate study found that only one in 16 was able to answer basic English, maths and science questions aimed at seven-year-olds.
The following questions, supplied by Oxford Home Schooling, are aimed at primary school kids aged 7.
So how hot are you at homework?
