Collection Author: Craig Barton - Maths AST and creator of www.mrbartonmaths.com (TES Name: mrbartonmaths)
An introduction to a set of materials describing teaching approaches that can be used to develop mental mathematics abilities beyond level 5, covering number, algebra, geometry and statistics. Includes activities that target some aspects of mental mathematics which pupils continue to find difficult.
Teaching Mental Mathematics from Level 5 – Number
- A booklet describing teaching approaches that can be used to develop mental mathematics abilities beyond level 5, covering place value, ordering and rounding, fractions, decimals, percentages, and ratio and proportion.
Teaching Mental Mathematics from Level 5 – Measures and Mensuration in Number
- A booklet describing teaching approaches that can be used to develop mental mathematics abilities beyond level 5. The activities described in this supplement build upon and develop activities suggested in Teaching mental mathematics from level 5: Number
Teaching Mental Mathematics from Level 5 – Algebra
- A booklet describing teaching approaches that can be used to develop mental mathematics abilities beyond level 5, covering algebraic conventions, solving linear equations, sequences, and functions and graphs.
