In writing this practical book; Ronit Bird has drawn on her teaching and training experience to create teaching plans for key numeracy topics; aimed at those working with students aged 9 years +

She provides detailed strategies for teaching numeracy skills through a progression of practical activities and visualisation techniques which build the self-esteem of students who need extra help and give them a basic foundation in number. While the plans cover the National Numeracy Strategy; they can also be used in any setting where maths is being taught.

Topics covered include:

• games and puzzles for learning number components
• bridging
• multiplication
• division
• reasoning strategies

A bank of accompanying resources; games; activities and Sudoku puzzles is available on the CD included with this book.

This is an ideal resource for both class teachers and maths subject teachers; and is equally useful for teaching assistants and learning support assistants.
