I posted my thoughts on the way of teaching maths (division in particular) at http://www.joannafoss.com/
I still think maths is made far too complicated than it needs to be. My son did a Bond Paper today for 11-12. He only made 4 mistakes, but some of the questions like translation he has not yet had explained. Once I went over this material with him, he carried on on his own.
Ratio came in handy for another question: picking up aces from a pack of cards. If it wasn't for the fact, that I had explained ratio ages ago, he wouldn't have a clue. Instead, he was able to solve the question.
