This well-established two-book course is designed for class
teaching and private study leading to GCSE examinations in
mathematics and further Mathematics at A Level.
This practical guide for teaching numeracy to children with a
developmental disability is based on core concepts from the
landmark Mathematics Recovery (R) text Teaching Number (aka 'the
green book') that have been adapted for children with developmental
disabilities. It sets out key principles of teaching and learning
underpinning an evidence-based teaching approach and provides clear
guidance on how educators can plan and implement a structured
teaching program so that every child can be given a positive
experience in learning numeracy and achieve significant outcomes,
maximizing their potential. The book is supported by a
comprehensive set of online resources for use in the classroom,
including 90+ lesson plans carefully tailored to provide sequenced
learning experiences for children and school students who may need
them most...
KS3 Maths Progression Workbooks offer extra practice of key
content, along with progression checkers at the end of each Unit
and plenty of dynamic student support. * Hundreds of extra practice
questions at different levels of difficulty: Mastery, Strengthen
and Extend * Guided questions with partially worked solutions,
hints and QR codes linking to worked example videos give students
crucial support * Progression checkers at the end of each Unit

This title forms part of the Little Library programme, which
consists of a Literacy Kit, Numeracy Kit and Life Skills Kit. These
were developed to respond to a need for high-quality, indigenous
books for the younger members of our communities, and have been
successfully used in schools for the last ten years. This title is
found in the updated, OBE version of the Little Library Maths Kit,
now called the Little Library Numeracy Kit. The Numeracy Kit keeps
seven of the best stories, and introduces five new ones - all of
them trialled in classrooms around the country. A journey is about
the Makhanya family going on a journey by taxi, the interesting
things they see and the weird and wonderful people they meet along
the way. There are many Mathematical focuses in this story,
including numbers, money problems, duration, measures, capacity and
size.
Pinpoint is a new series of activities and resources created to
provide you with highly focused resources for specific needs in
Maths. 130 page photocopiable book, A4 size, containing
differentiated maths word problems plus answers Covers every
objective in the Year 1 Programme of Study Shows whether children
can use and apply maths knowledge to solve problems in context 3
levels of difficulty on each page (Towards, Securing and Deeper)
provide appropriate challenge for all and take children into
greater depth Includes free online version This flexible and easy
to use resource is designed to save teachers time searching for
differentiated questions. Questions are set out by curriculum
objective, making it easy to use them flexibly for any given topic:
e.g. as problem-solving practice, to check whether children have
met an objective, or as a 'cold task' to analyse prior knowledge
and any misconceptions before starting a topic. The questions can
be photocopied and cut out, or printed directly onto a sheet of
sticky labels in order to add them into children's exercise books
quickly.
The Assessment Workbook provides a tangible record of progress and
enables you and your pupils to see how well they are doing. Great
for Assessment for Learning.
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.
School mathematics curricula internationally tend to emphasise 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.
This enormous book is bursting at the seams with questions for
every Year 6 Maths topic - it's perfect for practice throughout the
year. Every topic contains a range of questions divided into sets
based on their difficulty, so it's easy to choose work for pupils
of all ability levels. Context-based challenge pages feature
throughout the book to give pupils a look at Maths from a different
angle, and we've even included handy recap pages to help pupils
retain what they've learnt! You can download free printable
materials to match this book from the CGP website. Answers and
helpful resources for teachers are available in a separate book

This resource provides hands-on, manipulative-based activities
keyed to the text that involve future elementary school teachers
discovering concepts, solving problems, and exploring mathematical
ideas. These activities can be adapted for use with elementary
students at a later time. Colorful, perforated paper manipulatives
are provided in a convenient pouch at the back of the manual.

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.

This book shows how creative maths can really work. Exploring the
ways in which maths skills can be learned through cross-curricular
activities based on visual arts and music, the book presents maths
as a meaningful and exciting subject which holds no fears for
children.
The authors recognise that while maths-phobia prevails in our
increasingly mathematicised 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 stage.
Within this collection of classroom-based stories are detailed
examples of integrative mathematic projects; these will give
teachers the confidence to try out cross-curricular activities in
their classes. The book also provides support with difficult areas
such as assessment, planning and development.
Fascinating to read in its own right this book will appeal to the
specialist and non-specialist alike.
