His teacher doesn't appear to be interested in pushing him beyond the current age curriculum

When you say past papers how far back are you going? We are in the age of "dumbing down" so maths as taught today is far less complicated and rigorous than in the past.
Look at, for example, the maths O level paper from 1974 on this site:
https://www.cambridgeassessment.org.uk/our-research/archives-and-heritage/past-exam-material/maths/
...and compare it with a more recent equivalent, say the 2018 higher maths GCSE from here:
https://www.aqa.org.uk/find-past-papers-and-mark-schemes
Get him on some pre-1980s papers, or better still pre-1970s as with those he will have to think in old money, which might sound irrelevant but it adds an extra few calculations therefore is good exercise.
Teaching nowadays is concentrated purely on passing the exam and not on any wider knowledge or interest.
Many teachers now are degenerates only interested in drugs and left-wing politics. (I mention that for the benefit of Notch and Noseall).
Look into coding clubs.
You've just wasted a screen page on a rant about nonsense totally removed from Doug's grandson. He is a Year 6 pupil you moron. Doug didn't ask for 'old papers'. Read it again.
My 11yr old grandson……….his favourite subject is maths.My worry is that he will lose interest when he moves up to the local Comp in September.

put it on tik tok. Not rocket science is it?
Must have been a different username, I know I’m shoite at maths, but even I know 2016 wasn’t 14-15 years agoAround 14 to 15 years ago I raised a thread here in General Discussion about a maths question my then 11 year old son got for homework. It was about 2 ships crossing a river at different speeds but I’ve failed to find it in a search. Perhaps someone can.

Actually, it was 2 user names. I started the thread with one user and changed it during the thread. However, because I changed the user name the search facility simply came up with user not found. And when I tried with the keywords using 2 ships, river, speed, crossing etc, nothing was found. The annoying thing is that I stumbled across the thread last week when looking at old posts.Must have been a different username
