New Wave Mental Maths is a mental maths programme that aims to
strengthen pupils' mental maths abilities - the essential skills
that underpin all aspects of the maths curriculum and
problem-solving situations. Each book provides daily practice of
these skills, with more than enough questions for the entire school
year. One of the most useful features of the series is that it
ensures pupils meet all areas of the curriculum on a regular basis.
This constant contact with the areas of study ensures that pupils
are continually revising and consolidating essential maths
concepts. * 40-week programme divided into a convenient Monday to
Friday daily format, which is ideal for class use or for assigning
nightly homework. * Aims to develop fluency in the basics of maths:
emphasis is placed on daily computation/table practice to enhance
speed and accuracy. * Core maths concepts are developed in each
book and precise maths language is used in the questions. *
Problem-solving in both pictorial and word format encourages pupils
to practise problem-solving strategies mentally. * Strong
assessment component is built in - the weekly Friday Review can be
used to communicate progress with parents. * Enables pupil to
practise and perfect problem-solving strategies using mental
problems. * Core mathematical language presented using clear and
simple wording. * Sequential developmental and consolidation of
core maths concepts. * Can be used in conjunction with the main
class maths programme. * Provides lots of opportunities for
informal teaching and on-the-spot direct explanations.

Category Description for Kumon Math Workbooks (1-6):
A math program based on the Kumon method. Basically, the earmarks of
this system are:
- Concepts introduced in small, incremental steps, allowing
children to master them without confusion
- Single topic books rather than mixed strands. Children
concentrate just on addition, for example, before moving to subtraction
- Concepts are taught by discovery method than being spelled
out
The series is meant to be self-directed. Students take charge of their
own learning on every level. They complete pages, check their work,
record their scores, and determine whether to move on or review. The
pace almost guarantees success. Children should work a "few" pages a
day; assignments should take about 20 minutes to complete. Pages are
marked with the skill level required at top and the points each
question is valued at (a very young child will need some help totaling
points). Very short instruction (or an example) is given on a few
pages. For example, there is a short explanation when children begin to
subtract a 2-digit number from a 3-digit number where borrowing is
needed. However, the child is given every opportunity to intuit this
beforehand. By the time he reaches this page, he has already been
subtracting double-digit numbers for many pages. Some of these would
require borrowing, but, since they are able to subtract, say, 7 from
12, the Kumon method wants the child to see a pattern when increasing
to 7 from 22, 7 from 32, etc. This does remind me of the approach used
in Miquon as well. Besides these very infrequent helps there are just
some small prompts for children to look for patterns in their answers,
and words of encouragement. Pages are pleasing to the eye; they are
colored, clean, and problems are well-spaced. The Kumon method has been
used successfully with children around the world for over 50 years. It
does seem like it would help a child to take charge of his own learning
and help himself to understanding rather than being spoon-fed each
bite. For Kumon math earlier than Grade 1, see the Kumon section in
Early Learning.

The Theory of Objectification: A Vygotskian Perspective on Knowing
and Becoming in Mathematics Teaching and Learning presents a new
educational theory in which learning is considered a
cultural-historical collective process. The theory moves away from
current conceptions of learning that focus on the construction or
acquisition of conceptual contents. Its starting point is that
schools do not produce only knowledge; they produce subjectivities
too. As a result, learning is conceptualised as a process that is
about knowing and becoming. Drawing on the work of Vygotsky and
Freire, the theory of objectification offers a perspective to
transform classrooms into sites of communal life where students
make the experience of an ethics of solidarity, responsibility,
plurality, and inclusivity. It posits the goal of education in
general, and mathematics education in particular, as a political,
societal, historical, and cultural endeavour aimed at the
dialectical creation of reflexive and ethical subjects who
critically position themselves in historically and culturally
constituted mathematical discourses and practices, and who ponder
new possibilities of action and thinking. The book is of special
interest to educators in general and mathematics educators in
particular, as well as to graduate and undergraduate students.
Features: * key points * guided practice *'no-stabilisers' practice
*'step into GCSE' stretch questions *'don't forget' - key reminders
* exam-style practice questions * self-assessment record * complete
practice paper.
