The quality of learning in Mathematics depends on
progression through a sequence of mathematical experiences
opportunities for consolidation and practice
application and use of mathematics in a variety of contexts
This program is structured to satisfy the needs of teachers to have ready made progressive and sequential material to fulfil the outcomes of the syllabus for Mathematics.
The program enhances mental computation strategies to work out basic facts for addition -
Counting on
Turnarounds
Make to 10
Doubles and near doubles
Activities relate to real life experiences, using picture material and symbols to visualise and mentally recall addition facts.
Students are encouraged through practical experiences to group and regroup objects to form new larger sets , to learn and visualise number patterns and combinations that make up 10, to count on from any number, to turn around any number sentence so that it becomes easier to work with.
Reproducible work sheets offer students ample opportunities to develop and reinforce constructive skills to gain the concepts necessary to learn basic addition facts. The print is clear, the instructions simple and the style is applicable to a variety of students.
