The Numeracy Books are a collection of photocopiable books which aim to:

  • produce more numerate pupils
  • promote numeracy as an entitlement for all
  • increase parental confidence in supporting their children in Mathematics and other curriculum areas relying on numerical skills

Devised and written by an experienced SEN Mathematics teacher, these photocopiable books are presented in a way that will motivate pupils to achieve. All exercises come with a set of answers for teacher use. The Numeracy Books promote the links between teacher, pupil and parent. Each photocopiable page shows a method, some practice exercises and a homework element. They allow the teacher to show the method clearly within the classroom and can be used both for individual work and to encourage pupils working together to share their ideas and understanding.

To be considered numerate, the 1997 National Numeracy Project states that pupils need to:
  • have a sense of the size of a number and where it fits into the number system
  • know by heart facts such as number bonds, multiplication tables, doubles and halves
  • use what they know by heart to figure out answers mentally
  • calculate accurately, both mentally and with pencil and paper, drawing on a range of strategies a recognise when it is not appropriate to use a calculator
  • make sense of number problems, including non-routine problems, and recognise the operations needed to solve them
  • have strategies for checking their answers to judge whether they are reasonable
  • explain their methods and reasoning using correct mathematical terms
  • suggest suitable units for measuring and make sensible estimates of measurements
  • explain and make predictions from numbers in graphs, charts and tables

The Numeracy Books have been designed with these requirements in mind to be used within Key Stage 3. They focus primarily on pupils who have not achieved Level 4 in KS2 SATS, and who not progressing well with numeracy in Key Stage 3.

Numeracy Book 1 covers Levels 3 and 4 of the National Curriculum. Numeracy Book 2 covers Levels 5 and 6.

Addition Resource Pack

Addition Resource Pack

£23.99


Subject: Mathematics
Level: Secondary
Age Group: 11 - 14
Order Number: 10059

This material has been produced to help pupils reinforce and develop their number skills during their first year of secondary school. It will be particularly suitable for Special Needs students in helping them master the core addition, subtraction, multiplication and division skills. It aims to provide a well-structured work programme suitable for all abilities. There are a variety of learning strategies, games and problem-solving activities.

The work is progressive and has been divided into sections A to D. Each of the sections A to C includes units of work involving different number strategies, interesting challenges, a variety of problems and check test sheets. Section D includes answer sheets, games, record sheets and sample mental/oral arithmetic questions for use at home or school.

It is not essential that the child is able to use all the strategies confidently. It may be that they are happy using just one or two when solving problems. Also, although the work is progressive, children may work at a higher or lower unit depending on their ability. It is not necessary for a child to complete all the units.

The sheets can be used to supplement work within the classroom, for homework assignments or for parents to use with their child at home.

Most importantly, the material has been designed to help pupils develop and use a range of processes, so that they can become more confident when applying skills to problem-solving situations.

Maths Starter Pack 3 CD-ROM

£23.99


Subject: Mathematics
Level: Secondary
Age Group: Primary, 11-14 and 14-16
Order Number: 10106

Most education systems now expect maths lessons to be split up into three distinct but connected sections:-

Starters - Main body of lesson - Plenary

The objective of the Starter Packs is to engage the pupil and make their minds active and receptive to the lesson content. However, where do you find the time to create anything up to 120 Starter exercises per year? Where can you find sufficient exercises to keep a class engaged? The obvious answer is to buy a set pf pre-prepared Starter exercises. Designed for use with pupils in the age range of 11 to 16 years, with as little reading as possible so that poor readers are not discouraged from tackling the problems, Starter packs 1 to 6 are a valuable resource for pupils studying mathematics.

Maths Starters 1 contains 50 lesson starters that are based on numerical oddities. Age 13-16. Maths Starters 2 contains 60 lesson starters that are based on the four operations. Age 1l-14. Maths Starters 3 contains 50 lesson starters based on number properties and calculations. Age 13-16. Maths Starters 4 contains 52 lesson starters that are based on shape and space. Age 11-16. Maths Starters 5 contains 52 lesson starters that are based on algebra. Age 11-16. Maths Starters 6 contains 64 lesson starters that are based on algebra and data. Age 11-16.

Most of these exercises can be extended into entirely new starters. With little work, you can make each starter pack into 100 lesson starters.

Used on overhead transparencies or on an interactive whiteboard these starter exercises are thought provoking and fit into most maths syllabuses.

Once purchased, the CD can be freely copied and networked throughout the school.

THERE ARE SIX BOOKS IN THIS COLLECTION AND IF YOU BUY ALL SIX ON ONE CD THERE IS A SPECIAL OFFER PRICE OF £59.99 (£68.99 inc. VAT). PLEASE RING/EMAIL OR POST ORDER.
