The course offers a discussion-led approach, with problem-solving integrated throughout to encourage learners to think and talk about mathematics, in favor of rote learning and drill practice. Practical activities form the basis for each session and come complete with ideas for support and extension. Pair, group, and classwork are integrated with individual work, and learners are encouraged to explain and reason their choices.
This series is endorsed by Cambridge International Examinations and is part of Cambridge Maths. Children will enjoy learning mathematics with this fun and attractive learner's book for stage 1. A variety of questions, activities, investigations, and games that are designed to reinforce the concepts learned in the core activities in the teacher's guide and address misconceptions are included along with hints and tips. Clear, often pictorial, explanation of mathematical vocabulary will help children learn new terms whether they are native English speakers or second language speakers and great care has been made to ensure language is accessible.
