This book offers a set of core activities covering all areas of number, ideal for planning your daily mathematics lesson. Sections in the book broadly correspond to the programmes of study for number at Key Stage 2. A section on differentiation will help you assess children's progress and set extension work. The book suggests six different ways of working (from mental mathematics to computers) to give children the broad, balanced mathematical experience they need.

 

This book is suitable for Key Stage 2. KS2 covers school years 4, 5 and 6, and ages 8-11 years. A key stage is any of the fixed stages into which the national curriculum is divided, each having its own prescribed course of study. At the end of each stage, pupils are required to complete standard assessment tasks.
