A stunningly presented collection of twenty-five illustrated short stories exploring the relationship between humans and animals, from the award-winning visual storyteller Shaun Tan. Where can we live if not in each other's shadow? World-renowned artist Shaun Tan applies his extraordinary talent to a reflection on the nature of humans and animals, and our urban co-existence. From crocodile to frog; tiger to bee, this is a dark and surreal exploration of the perennial love and destruction we feel and inflict - of how animals can save us, and how we are entwined, for better or for worse. Tales from the Inner City is a truly masterly work, bearing all of Shaun Tan's trademark wit and poignancy in both its prose and exquisite illustrations.

A CAPS compliant workbook that helps young learners perfect their small letter-writing. Each page has one letter of the alphabet written on it. The pupil traces the first letter starting at the dot, and then repeats that letter to complete the line and the rest of the page. Repetition helps pupils increase their writing skills and confidence. The book does not proceed alphabetically, but rather starts with the simplest letters for children to form, progressively helping them to master more and more complex shapes.

Transforming Primary Mathematics: A Practical Guide is a companion volume to Mike Askew s hugely successful "Transforming Primary Mathematics," and provides an evidence-based approach to teaching and learning mathematics that takes research and transforms it into practical classroom resources. By focusing on a small set of consistent principles and practices, this book will help teachers to develop a coherent approach to teaching mathematics that will give them the knowledge and insight to select and adapt other resources to their classroom.

This practical guide aims to develop the teaching tripod themes of tasks, talk and tools. By packing each of these through a collection of classroom activities that are organised around the major strands of the curriculum (including number, calculations, shape and space, measures, data handling), the following objectives are addressed:

• Helping primary school teachers (in-service or in initial education courses) appreciate the importance of careful coordination of tasks, tools and talk in support understanding of mathematics;

• Providing practical classroom examples that support teachers in developing their understanding of the 'teaching tripod' through using this in the classroom;
• Assisting teachers to appreciate the need for a coherent and consistent approach to teaching and learning mathematics that goes across the primary years and provides a sound foundation for later learning;
• Showing how the activities and suggestions here are grounded in research that has demonstrated an impact on pupil learning.

Written by an author with experience of primary teaching but also with over twenty years of experience as both a producer and consumer of research in mathematics education, this book will be of use to both practicing teachers and those on undergraduate and post-graduate courses, as well as primary school mathematics leaders."

The Key Words with Peter and Jane books work because each of the key words is introduced gradually and repeated frequently. This builds confidence in children when they recognise these key words on sight (also known as the 'look and say' method of learning). Examples of key words are: the, one, two, he. There are 12 levels, each with 3 books: a, b, and c. Series a: Gradually introduces new words. Series b: Provides further practise of words featured in the 'a' series. Series c: Links reading with writing and phonics. All the words that have been introduced in each 'a' and 'b' book are also reinforced in the 'c' books.
