"Breakaway Maths" provides an extensive range of materials for 7 to 11 year-olds who are having difficulty in mathematics. Children using the material should readily identify with the storylines and characters on which the pupils' books have been based. The series has minimal, simple text with overt picture cueing. It introduces the vocabulary of mathematics in easy stages to ensure that the reading level is not too advanced for the pupils. The scheme: covers National Curriculum Levels 1-3, Northern Ireland Curriculum Levels 1-3 and Levels A and B/C of the 5-14 Guidelines in Scotland; recognizes that practical mathematics should be the core of a maths programme for low achievers in maths; relates mathematics to everyday life through storylines; provides detailed cross-referencing between the pupils' books, workbooks, copymasters and teacher's resource books; offers teacher-independent resources and support for the non-specialist teacher; provides small steps in progression with extensive practice to build confidence and a sense of achievement; uses "age-neutral" illustrations so that children do not see the work as childish; and includes a CD-ROM option.
This is Book 2 in the Breakaway Maths S. Series. See all Breakaway Maths S. books here.
