Reading a timetable is fundamental life skill but it is something that many people find difficult. Whilst modern technology is useful, where there are competing opportunities, digital technology cannot help you to determine if something is possible. Similarly that there are digital signs at many bus stops, they cannot help you plan a journey. That underlies the purpose of this book. In the first section, students are placed in a fictional scenario of a film festival in Abergele ( the Welsh home of I'm a celebrity, Get me out of here). Here students have to interrogate a database in the form of a table, to see if they can attend certain films at certain times. In the second part of the book, they are given scenarios where they plan visits across North and South Wales, by looking up bus times. This is a highly popular book with SEN/ALN teachers and home educators and no wonder. As well as coming with a disc of copiable sheets, there is also a piece of work for the students which involves a 1970's supergroup. There are also smartboard activites and other goodies for f*r*e*e* on the disc. You will not be disappointed and your students will love the work.

Teachers teaching skills for life students will find this book invaluable. It is packed full of everyday living costs and provides worksheets for students to practice calculating with money.

This versatile resource is suitable for students of all ages, who require support and help in improving their literacy skills. This set of short stories on adult-oriented topics (illustrated with photographs) encourages learning by using simple, repetitious words in short sentences that gradually increase in length and difficulty. The comprehension activities that accompany each story use a number of questioning strategies, including literal, inferential and evaluative. The purpose of this material is to engage reluctant readers in adult-oriented topics. This title will be of interest to teachers in primary and secondary schools and will also be of interest to adult education teachers ( eg teachers of Functional/ core/ Essential skills Wales skills in communication).

Introducing algebra to young children can be fraught with difficulty, that is why this book is an important contribution to this important subject. This book provides children with opportunities to develop the thinking skills of specialising and generalising. These thinking skills are the foundations to being successful in formal algebra. This title helps teachers give these children the right formative experiences in their mathematical development. Children who learn these skills are empowered to go on and be successful in formal examinations.

Algebra is a key area of mathematics that often bewilders those who study it and this then follows them into adult life. There are numerous occasions when adults, even the famous like the comedian Billy Connolly, decry the value of algebra. It seems to be a bewildering array of symbols that has no real connection with everyday life. Yet the reality is quite the opposite. Algebra is a wonderful tool for understanding the real world and yet one that is inaccessible for so many people. Why is that? Very often the cause is poor teaching. Children are thrown into a world of meaningless symbols and that means they have missed an important part of their mathematical journey. That is why this book is an important contribution. It gives children the learning experiences where they start to generalise and that is the start of algebra. This si the reason why so many fail at more formal algebra. By placing the child in a safe familiar world, they are exposed to a new type of thinking about numbers that moves them forward into the ability to generalise. Many adults say they have never used algebra but in reality they have. Imagine putting up shelves in your home. Each shelf needs four screws. So this means you the number of screws is 4 x the number of shelves. This ability to generalise is called algebraic thinking. Generalising is a life skill, all adults need to be able to generalise. That is why this book is an important contribution to the education of children.
