Each test should take about 15 minutes, however it is more important that a child completes the test accurately and does not rush their answers. Children will speed up naturally with practice. These tests extend children's learning beyond their expected age-related National Curriculum standard. The testbook provides practice for SATs, GL Assessment and CEM 11+ exams, CATs, the Northern Ireland Transfer Test, Common Entrance and scholarship examinations for independent schools, and all other styles of mathematical test. The testbooks are designed to be used in conjunction with the KS2 Maths workbooks as an additional learning tool. After completion, the maths testpack should be used for final exam preparation. Answers, Progress Charts and a Certificate of Achievement are included at the end of the book. All our materials have been rigorously classroom tested. The methodologies have been successfully used in AE Tuition classes for over 20 years.

Can be used as a learning tool in conjunction with our other maths materials. This is useful preparatory material for children who will eventually be sitting for the 11+ grammar school or independent school exams. Provides practice for GL Assessment, CEM and all other styles of mathematical tests. During an intense learning phase children also improve their maths skills through a testing process, provided that the main emphasis is focused on acquiring techniques from our workbooks.The tests are not exclusively book specific but they are progressive and emphasise the elements of the workbooks in order.

STP Caribbean Mathematics has been revised and updated to address the demands of mathematics syllabuses in the region and provide students with a firm foundation for success at CSEC (R). Workbook 2 in this series is for use alongside STP Caribbean Mathematics Book 2, and offers students opportunities to practise key mathematical skills and concepts. Its focus on practicing the core aspects of mathematics helps to reinforce students' knowledge and understanding. Workbook 2 also includes answers to the activities.

Children can build on the skills they learn at school from home with Key Skills for Kids: Maths, one of two titles being launched by Priddy Books as a fantastic new learning series for children in Year 1.

The 128-page paperback workbook is jam-packed with different numeracy activities such as addition, subtraction, fractions and more. Every exercise has been developed with an educational consultant specifically for this age group to ensure it is in line with the curriculum. The difficulty level increases throughout the book making it suitable for a range of abilities.

The simple clear layouts and quirky illustrations make learning fun!

Current school mathematics curricula internationally tend to emphasize problem-solving and have led to the development of opportunities for children to do maths in a more open, creative way. This has led to increased interest in "performance-based" assessment, which involves children in substantial production of written language to serve as "evidence" of their mathematical activity and achievement. However, this raises two important questions. Firstly, does this writing accurately present children's mathematical activity and ability? Secondly, do maths teachers have sufficient linguistic awareness to support their students in developing skills and knowledge necessary for writing effectively in their subject area? The author of this book takes a critical perspective on these questions and, through an investigation of teachers' readings and evaluations of coursework texts, identifies the crucial issues affecting the accurate assessment of school mathematics.

Specifically designed for busy teachers who have responsibility for co-ordinating a subject area within their primary school. Each volume in the series conforms to a concise style, while providing a wealth of tips, case studies and photocopiable material that teachers can use immediately. There are special volumes dedicated to dealing with OFSTED, creating whole school policy and the demands of co-ordinating several subjects within a small school. The entire set of 16 volumes is available for.

Children learn mathematics most effectively in contexts that are meaningful to them. Realizing the potential of these contexts for fostering young children's mathematical learning while nurturing and challenging them, requires knowledge of mathematics as well as of child development. Avoiding the debates surrounding "hands-on" learning vs. direct instruction, the author focuses on the value of different contexts for learning, and illustrates ways to genuinely engage children as active learners. The work is rich with examples of children's interactions with each other and with adults as they utilize and extend their understanding of mathematics. Examples and guidelines for developing lessons and activities will be useful to educators and parents. Chapters explore how we underestimate young children's mathematical capabilities; how appropriate sequencing of learning and building on prior knowledge will enhance understanding; what teachers, including parent-teachers, need to know; and high-stakes testing. This is a work that brings together the connections between knowing the basics and constructing knowledge in accessible and practical ways.

This book helps in supporting curriculum for excellence and providing the best way to head for Credit Level. Each section of this book features clear 'learning intentions' at the start, which provides a concise summary of the key concepts. This book includes worked examples and extensive practice exercises to lead the user towards contextualized work. The early chapters focus on essential skills, which supports those users who need to reinforce their previous learning experiences.

Exploring the ways in which maths skills can be learned through cross-curricular activities based on visual arts and music, this text presents maths as a meaningful and exciting subject which holds no fears for children. The authors recognize that while maths-phobia prevails in our increasingly mathematicized world, attitudes and approaches to teaching the subject need to be reviewed, and issues such as gender stereotyping, which encourage maths-apathy, need to be tackled at an early age. Within this collection of classroom-based stories are detailed examples of intergrative mathematic projects.
