Maths

by John & Jenny Barwick

Designed to help teachers engage students at the key stage of learning at the start of each lesson. The activities are ‘grabs’ of work to be completed in about five minutes, capturing students’ attention in a positive way and preparing them for learning by focusing their attention on the act of learning.

Features

• Each book contains 40 ‘weekly workout’ sheets with 5 different activities, plus 10 generic activity sheets.
• Activities are based on appropriate syllabus content, and develop numeracy and reasoning skills.

The work can be used to:

• engage learners in a positive and meaningful way prior to the start of major learning exercises;
• act as ‘five-minute time-filler’ resources, suitable also as lesson breaks and to fill periods of time at the end of other lessons;
• provide ‘basic skills’ resources to support literacy and numeracy;
• provide ‘enrichment/brain food’ resources to support an enriched curriculum;
• act as ‘teacher timesavers’ providing practical classroom strategies;
• act as a valuable resource for casual teachers and inexperienced teachers to help engage students.

The accompanying CD contains all the worksheets, plus answers to all activities.
