Written Calculation: Teacher's Resource Book

Written Calculation provides simple instruction, worked examples and structured practice in the aspects of written calculation that pupils need to master by the end of Key Stage 2. The series comprises six Pupil Books, six Answer Books, a Teacher’s Guide and a Teacher’s Resource Book and uses methods recommended in the National Curriculum.

Each Pupil Book uses 18 carefully structured steps of learning to guide the learner towards full mastery of each written method. The series also helps pupils develop confidence and fluency in their learning by practising and embedding place value, number facts and problem solving skills. The importance of estimating and checking answers is also emphasised.

This Teacher’s Resource Book contains supplementary, photocopiable resources to help you integrate Written Calculation within your school. The questions contained within this Teacher’s Resource Book, correspond to the steps in each of the Pupil Books, offering opportunities for pupils to further develop their conceptual understanding of written calculation. These questions are ideal for further practice, revision or homework. Answers are provided at the back of this book.

Key features include:

• Further practice questions – up to ten questions per step, conveniently presented to allow additional practice of either one or two steps at a time.
• Problem solving questions – a variety of 12 problem solving word problems per book, similar to the style of question found in the ‘Problem solving’ section of each Pupil Book.
