ENGLAND captain David Beckham has confessed he is befuddled by his six-year-old son Brooklyn's maths homework.
Beckham, 30, admitted to being baffled when Brooklyn recently asked for help with a school assignment and had to turn to his former Spice Girls popstar wife Victoria to help out.
"Their homework is so hard these days. I sat down with Brooklyn the other day, and I was like, 'Victoria, maybe you should do the homework tonight'," Beckham told the Mail on Sunday newspaper.
"I think it was maths, actually. It's done totally differently to what I was teached (sic) when I was at school, and you know, I was like, 'Oh my God, I can't do this'.
"Brooklyn was like, 'Please do it with me', and I'm like, 'I'll read your book with you'."
The Real Madrid midfield player's son attends the exclusive Runnymede College in the Spanish capital, which follows the British national curriculum.
The paper gave examples of some national curriculum maths questions set for seven-year-olds.
They include: "Bet went to the shop at 11.45. She came back half an hour later. What time did she come back?" and "What is 12 divided by three?"
Beckham also admitted he has no "lucky" pre-match routines, with them too being tough to remember.
"I find that if I follow a routine ... it gets to the stage where you are thinking, 'Right, was it the left side ... the left boot I put on first, or the right side?'
"There are so many things that can go through your mind."
Beckham is set to skipper England in this week's friendly against Uruguay at Liverpool's Anfield stadium.
