A Teacher's Source Book for Mathematics in Classes 6 to 8 (Paperback)

Experienced maths teacher and consultant Jamie York believes that a love of learning comes through the teacher, so his books are committed to supporting teachers in developing their classroom skills and to fostering a love of maths in their students.

Unlike conventional maths textbooks, his books are not full of fancy graphics and contrived ways to make maths fun. Rather, they:

• focus on the essentials, so teachers aren't overwhelmed by endless lists of required material
• are genuinely interesting and challenging, sparking students' enthusiasm for learning maths
• are developmentally appropriate to the age of the child, thereby encouraging inner mathemetical awareness and thinking
• favour depth over superficiality, to avoid teaching blind procedures to solve meaningless problems

This teachers' resource book for Classes 6 to 8 provides a direct and logical approach to teaching 12 to 15-year-olds maths. Each class level and topic provide numerous tried and tested examples and explanations. The Source Book can be used in conjunction with the specially-developed workbooks for Classes 6 to 8.

The book includes:

Class 6: fractions, decimals, percents, mental maths and maths tricks, divisibility, casting out nines, exponents and roots, prime factorisation, converting repeating decimals to fractions and more.

Class 7: the metric and imperial systems, percents, rates, ratios, irrational numbers, the square root algorithm, basic geometry and more.

Class 8: Pythagorean Theorem, exponential growth, proportions, area and volume, dimensional analysis (unit conversions), basic algebra skills and more.

The best no frills homeschooling maths series. No pointless worksheets, just to-the-point maths study. I wish maths had been presented like this when I was at school.
