Curriculum for Wales: Mastering Mathematics for 11-14 years: Book 1

Create confident and capable mathematicians with accessible explanations and engaging activities. This book gradually builds on prior knowledge to deepen understanding through clear explanations, worked examples and hundreds of differentiated questions, as well as class activities that you can choose from to build your lessons and teaching plans. Designed to be used flexibly, this scheme covers the four 'what matters' statements and follows the five principles of progression from the Curriculum for Wales. - Develop pupils' conceptual understanding and communication with symbols throughout using plenty of worked examples and banded questions that get progressively more difficult - Target fluency, logical reasoning and strategic competence by using the markers included in each exercise question - Improve outcomes by selecting from banded questions most suited to enable progression - Ease the transition between progression steps with skill-checker activities at the start of each topic and review questions after each chapter - Link topics to other areas of learning, such as Science and Technology, with cross-curricular activities and discussion points
