Maths Makes Sense Progress Books are used by children every week to practise, consolidate and extend what they learn. The pages are simple and straightforward so children focus on the maths.
There is one book for each term, three each year, which builds up over time to become the child's personal maths books and celebrates their achievement. The 'I can!' section at the end of every block revises and consolidates their learning and progress chart on the back cover means children can track how they are learning. Each book includes a maths facts section to put key information at their fingertips!
Fun and easy to use these Progress books really do help your children progress fast!
Maths Makes Sense is an inspirational way of teaching maths. Inspirational for so many reasons: the strong methodology which ensures every child learns and understands maths; the high level of training and practical support for teachers from the materials; the way even very complex maths is made simple and effortless to children - it has been one of the best decisions I ever made.
It's quite literally what the title says. It is a way of making complex maths make sense. It is about high expectations and every child being a successful mathematician.
Following the training we now know that 'complex' mathematical ideas can be made concrete and understandable to very young children.
