Product description for teachers and tutors

Understanding Maths is a series of topic-based study books for children in Key Stage 2, providing rigorous practice of key subject areas. Each topic contains a concise summary of the information required by the National Curriculum, making the series ideal for use as preparation for the Key Stage 2 tests. Each book is a stand-alone resource, so children can either work through them in order or focus on individual aspects of the subject. Together, the nine books support the whole of the Key Stage 2 maths curriculum, providing a solid foundation for success in maths.

Problem Solving meets the National Curriculum requirements for Key Stage 2 maths, and covers the following areas: choosing operations, solving word problems, number puzzles, scaling, time, large numbers, negative numbers, square numbers, shape puzzles, money problems, fractions, decimals, percentages, ratio and the distributive law. The book also develops strategies for solving different maths problems, from deciphering the question to deciding on a solution.

Key features of Understanding Maths include:

  • an ‘Explanation’ to introduce each topic
  • activities to consolidate and revise knowledge and skills
  • thought-provoking facts to foster a love of learning beyond the National Curriculum
  • regular ‘Progress tests’ and a ‘Final test’ to track children’s development.

All nine books in the series contain answers at the back.

Inverness
My son has Aspergers Syndrome and I home school him. Despite his high intelligence level, he has a very short concentration span and these books (plus the English books) have been invaluable with large amounts of information in bite size chunks presented to my son in an interesting way. I highly recommend them for children of all abilities and ages. They are good for supported and unsupported work.
