Lizzie says ...my daughter struggled, from Day 1 with maths...

My Sister was just the same, and in her case it was bad teaching as well.

Mathematics is probably the worst taught subject in schools. I don't recall ever hearing of a maths teacher who taught his students that maths is a game. It is a game of 'let's pretend'.

Let's pretend that we can separate number from quantity. Then we can PLAY with the numbers and see what happens.

So let's take a poll here. Did anyone of you ever have a teacher tell you that?
