Health education is now seen as a vital part of the primary curriculum. The Health Across the Curriculum series helps teachers to link health education with the main subjects taught in primary classroom. The organization of Health into Mathematics makes it easy to use. A detailed introduction explains the idea of the series and the Child-to-Child approach. The book then suggests how three key areas of mathematics - statistics, percentages and ratios - may be taught through health activities. The second part of the book demonstrates how vital health topics including nutrition, sanitation and the treatment of diarrhoea may be taught by bringing in the different mathematics activities suggested. Busy teachers can easily find the health or mathematics activity they need by referring to the Health into Mathematics Chart at the end of the book. Extensive cross-referencing allows teachers to follow up successful lessons with further relevant mathematics or health activities and the level of difficulty of activities is indicated throughout the book.
