| All teachers want their students to be confident, competent and creative users of mathematics. The Targeting Maths scheme has been written for the Queensland 1-7 maths syllabus. Designed to develop a thorough understanding of mathematics, the series also tries to build students' confidence and enthusiasm for mathematics. The student books are very child friendly - filled with an interesting range of learning activities that will motivate all learners, whatever their talents.
Each student book provides the necessary learning experiences to help students move from the concrete and pictorial to the more abstract. The books also provide independent practice of specific skills to help consolidate concepts.
This has been achieved by meticulous attention to detail with:
- A progressive development, with clear modelling and strong support
- The choice of activities, with many real-world and high-interest examples
- Instructions that are clear, easy to read and at an appropriate reading level
- Colourful illustrations that meaningful and aid students' understanding
- Regular challenges for more able students
- Reinforcement and revision of key concepts
- The structured development of a wide range of mental calculation strategies
- Working mathematically and problem solving integrated across the series.
