Start
Choose one target
Use a recent question to agree a specific aim, such as keeping both sides of an equation balanced.
Explore
Keep the working visible
Model one example, then let your child complete a step and explain the decision. Leave useful prompts on screen.
Finish
Check the idea independently
Try a related question and identify one thing to practise before the next meeting.
A consistent place for each line of working can help make a calculation easier to follow. A tutor might agree a short checking routine for negative signs or missing units, then practise it in several examples. The aim is to find a routine your child can use, not to give them another complicated list to remember. Adjust the pace and amount of practice together.
A tutor can help break a particular maths task into steps and agree a manageable practice goal. Explain the school’s expectations so tuition supports the work without completing it for your child.
There is no single lesson pattern that suits every learner. Discuss concentration, timing and pauses with the tutor, then review how your child participates rather than assuming one format will work.
The experience label comes from the tutor’s own declaration. Ask how they respond when a student loses their place or struggles to begin. A free introduction lets your child join that conversation.
Give feedback a clear focus
After a lesson, ask what became clearer and what still feels difficult. This gives the tutor something useful to adapt next time.
The lesson ideas above are examples to discuss with your tutor, not a fixed programme for every learner. For wider educational information, see ADHD Foundation resources.
