Telling the time is a complex skill that many children struggle to grasp. Schofield & Sims Telling the Time breaks this difficult topic down into a sequence of manageable ideas that young learners can approach at their own pace. Beginning with child-friendly explanations of times of day and units of time, it moves on to introduce telling the time on an analogue clock, before progressing to cover a wide range of related concepts, including different ways of measuring and representing time, time expressions and everyday time problems. Each activity book provides large, clear clock faces for easy counting and colour-coded hands to aid recognition of hours and minutes. 'Learn' panels help to explain time-telling in simple steps, while regular 'Did you know?' boxes provide fun general-knowledge facts to enrich learning. Answers to all the practice questions are included at the back of the book for easy marking.Telling the Time Book 2 supports the National Curriculum requirements for Year 2 and covers the following topic areas: counting in fives; telling the time to five minutes; units of time (minutes, hours, days); ordering and comparing intervals of time; digital time; comparing analogue and digital clocks; and problem-solving using time.

Schofield & Sims Fractions, Decimals and Percentages is a comprehensive programme that supports a mastery approach to teaching and learning this tricky area of maths. Comprising six pupil books and six accompanying teacher's guides, this structured series helps children to develop a deep, secure and adaptable understanding of fractions, building up to decimals, percentages, ratio and proportion. Each pupil book contains varied activities, suitable for use either in class or at home, that directly correspond to the lessons provided in the supporting teacher's guide. Each unit is set across a double-page spread containing a summary of the key learning point, followed by targeted practice questions, ranging from simple 'Get started' questions that help children gain confidence to more complex 'Now you try' and 'Challenge' questions that develop conceptual understanding and mathematical reasoning skills. Regular 'Check-up tests' and a 'Final test' reinforce learning and help to identify strengths and weaknesses.Additional features provided at the back of the book include a self-evaluation checklist to encourage children to assess their own learning and a glossary to support the confident use of mathematical vocabulary. Fractions, Decimals and Percentages Book 6 supports the National Curriculum requirements for Year 6 and covers the following topic areas: using common factors and common multiples; adding and subtracting fractions with different denominators; multiplying pairs of fractions; dividing fractions by whole numbers; calculating decimal fraction equivalents; understanding place value; and problem solving.
