All teachers want their students to be confident, competent and creative users of mathematics. The heart of the Targeting Maths scheme is focused teaching to clearly defined outcomes, combining discussion with practical and written activities in a student book that is fun and easy to use
Targeting Maths student books are very child friendly - filled with an interesting range of learning activities that will motivate all learners, whatever their talents. The development of this series has focused on the needs of children. We know that if you can grab children's interest and give them confidence, they are more likely to enjoy learning.
The student workbooks include:
- A clear structure that progresses through the topic-based units of work
- Topic-based units link together in a recommended teaching sequence, but can be used in any order to suit the needs of your students
- Each unit covers 3-4 pages and begins with a focus page for class discussion
- Instructions that are clear and easy to read
- Structured development of mental calculation strategies
- Outcomes and pointers on each page
- Regular challenges for more able children
- Reinforcement of number facts
- Problem-solving activities that use a variety of strategies including draw a diagram, looking for patterns, trial and error and working backwards.
