A scheme of work has been described as an essential part of teaching by the National Curriculum Council and all schools are working to adapt to this concept. This handbook seeks to show primary teachers how to develop a scheme of work for primary maths. It goes on to translate the ideas in the scheme of work in to successful classroom practice and shows teachers why a scheme of work is not only an essential tool but also an aid to delivering the National Curriculum for maths. It also includes examples of schemes of work from schools around the country.
