2 total works
This title contains photocopiable activities to help 7 year-olds practise mental maths. It extends reading, writing and ordering numbers, and encourages children to identify and use number bonds, halving and doubling, and multiplication and division patterns to improve their calculation. The book begins with an introductory test to identify the children's knowledge of number facts such as times tables and provides a "prompt list" of useful maths vocabulary appropriate for the age range. The photocopiable activities which follow should help the children to develop a confident and flexible approach to counting and calculating mentally, offering them opportunities to develop strategies and mathematical vocabulary by writing or talking about their maths. To help teachers plan complementary oral maths sessions as part of complete maths lessons, each activity in this book is cross-referenced to the companion teacher's guide, "Developing Mental Maths with 5-7 year olds".
