For "Heinemann Mathematics P7", colour textbooks and workbooks help children practise and record their understanding of concepts, skills and applications in number, measure, shape and handling data. This is the corresponding answer book.
The "Heinemann Mathematics" scheme has been developed by the authors of the primary course "SPMG", with the aim of building on established strengths to provide a structured development of children's mathematical knowledge and skills within the revised curricula.
"Scottish Heinemann Maths" reflects the content of the HMI report "Improving Mathematics Education 5-14". It offers a structured development of mental calculation strategies, using clear progression and continuity of topics, and increases the pace of progression.
For Heinemann Mathematics P7, colour textbooks and workbooks are used by children to practise and record their understanding of concepts, skills and applications in number, measure, shape and handling data. They include a wide range of problem-solving and investigative work to develop children's ability to use and apply maths. The textbooks help promote children's recording skills using a variety of motivating contexts, and include activities to give further practice in applying maths. The format of the workbooks free children to concentrate on the maths rather than on the presentation of their work, and each one contains a record-keeping grid to show work completed.
This component of "Heinemann Mathematics" offers a strategy for home support of children's work in school. The photocopiable homework activities provide opportunities for children to use and apply their maths in problem-solving situations, and for parents to gain an insight into the series.
