| The teaching guide is broken into units of work. Each unit is laid out in the same format for ease of use and is directly linked to 3- 5 pages of the student book.
The teaching resources provided as part of each unit include: - Teaching notes for the focus page and other pages in the student book - Mental and oral strategies that can be used to introduce the lesson, or as mental warm-ups that reinforce previous learning and basic facts - Activity Bank provides a range of practical activities for the unit that present the mathematical content in a variety of ways. Changing the presentation of a topic can support students with different learning styles or who are struggling with the concept - Activity cards can be used as reinforcement, for fast finishers, for homework or for fun. They are designed for individuals, pairs or small groups - The Assessment page can be used to assess students' understanding of a topic and to determine areas which need reinforcement.
The sequence of units provides a guide to the order of presentation. This follow the same order as suggested in the year and term planners. However, this is flexible and teachers can choose their own progression through the course. |
