I haven't posted for ages because of the beautiful (but messy and cheeky) boy pictured below.

Anyway, here's a good website for SATS and GCSE revision eMaths.

Ms Caven's blog has listed other great sites that you'll find useful in the days and weeks ahead.

1+1=3
Finnegan Jack Gallagher-Thompson arrived at 9:41am on Monday June 12th 2006, weighing 8lb 14oz. Kudos to 1st person who gives his weight in grams. Pictures to follow once Dad has had enough sleep and found the lead to connect camera to computer. Mum recovering well, Finny hungry and beautiful.

The "Census Problem"
A logic problem for all to think about over a cool glass of lemonade through the weekend. Prize to best explained post by end of June deadline...

A census taker approaches a house and asks the woman who answers the door,"How many children do you have, and what are their ages?"
Woman: "I have three children, the product of their ages are 36, the sum of their ages are equal to the address of the house next door."
The census taker walks next door, comes back and says, "I need more information."
The woman replies, "I have to go, my oldest child is sleeping upstairs."
Census taker: "Thank you, I now have everything I need."
What are the ages of each of the three children?

Welcome one and all to Mr Thompson's fledgling Maths blog. It's a bit sparse at the moment as I'm busy doing hard sums.
